Learning to set healthy boundaries

A mental health professional is sharing some tips on how people can start setting boundaries for healthier relationships. 

"The lack of boundaries can negatively affect every area of our lives, from personal relationships, work relationships, our schedules, and the most important relationship of all is the relationship that we have within ourselves. The best way to enhance our personal boundaries is to focus on developing a healthy sense of ourselves," says Terry Warburton, Clinical Director at Recovery of Hope in Winnipeg. 

Tips to get through the Blue Monday blues

The third Monday of each new year is said to be the most depressing day of the year, but there are ways to get through it unscathed. 

"Blue Monday is representative of a time of year that can be particularly difficult for people. We've just been through the holidays which can be enjoyable and exciting, but they can also be a really difficult time," says Terry Warburton, Clinical Director at Recovery of Hope in Winnipeg. 

That paired with living in a place in which the temperature drops dramatically in the winter can intensify issues people face with their mental health. 

The benefits of playing as an adult

A mental health expert is encouraging adults to play more, sharing that it never stops being important.

"Science now backs up how critical play is for our mental health. The links between play and emotional and physical wellness are huge," says Terry Warburton, Clinical Director at Recovery of Hope in Winnipeg. 

She says that play can help people become more resilient, adaptive, mature, and creative. By taking time to play, it can help people feel more connected to others, improving emotional and physical health.
