Anchor Magazine Summer Issue

I want to thank Melissa Churly for writing about me which became the cover story. The piece was well written and well researched. I think Melissa came to understand depression and its impact on people. She knew her topic.

I also thank Bill MacPhee and the staff at Anchor for putting me on the cover. It's a great magazine, well needed so people, those with and those without depression, will learn about the illness.

CMHA National Conference

As I mentioned previously, the Canadian Mental Health Association National Conference is being held in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia on August 22-23, 2008.

The title of this year's Conference is Making Waves for Change: From Surviving to Thriving.

I will be presenting a workshop along with Fred Armitage. We are scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, August 23, 2008, from 3:20 to 4:50. I know Mr. Armitage is a Halifax Regional Municipality police officer who has had depression.

The CMHA has posted more details on its website ( http://www.novascotia.cmha.ca/ ).
