The Men’s Shed will aim to help those in recovery connect over shared activities.
A local therapist in Prince George is working to start a second Men’s Shed in the community to promote mental health.
The idea is that the connection to each other through shared activities helps foster positive mental health. “Long story short I ended up spending two years as a member of the Vanderhoof Men’s Shed,” said Goerz. “After I was involved in in the CMHA shed I said, Well, you know, we need to kind of have them in other pockets,” said Georz.
“We're looking and exploring around a few locations kind of ends down to downtown area, that would be within walking distance of the Olive’s Branch. It would, it would be a place that most folks could just commingle with just regular people.” He’s also encouraging other mental health providers or counselors to consider donating some of their proceeds to the project during November as well.
