Most of us have
many different joys, responsibilities, and
obligations pulling us in different directions.
People who have good work-life balance feel
like they are able to balance all their
different roles: they feel they have control
over their options; they have the energy
to keep up; they look after their physical
and mental health; and they don't feel they
are constantly sacrificing one aspect of
their lives for all the rest.
Learn how to
regain
balance in your life and take the Work-Life
Balance quiz

Thank you to Mat's
Ride!
Over $19,000 raised for youth education!
 June
20 was a perfect Saturday morning for the ride
from Calgary to Rafter
6 Ranch . As usual, the BBQ was delicious
and presentations from Mat's sister, Amanda, his
friend Natalie Craig (this year's spokesperson)
and Kimberley Feist (CMHA Community Education
Coordinator) brought home the importance of teaching
our youth to recognize depression and how to get
help or help someone else.
Thanks to all the motorcyclists, other participants,
sponsors and Mat's Ride committee members who
helped raise awareness about youth depression
and money for CMHA's Community Education programs!
