Psycho-Educational, Support series
6 rotating topics on Addiction & Mental Health issues

What is Step Up?

It is a psycho educational open support series for individuals with Addiction and Mental Health concerns. It provides a timely response and intervention option for those seeking Addiction and Mental Health services.

Individuals can choose to attend all, or selective topics that are meaningful to them. The potential benefits are increased self-awareness, reduction in symptoms, new ways of thinking and improvement in day to day functioning.

Addiction and Mental Health concerns can impact an individuals’ life when it becomes problematic and it interferes with day-to-day activities. This can put a strain on relationships, hinder work performance and reduce level of functioning overall.

What is the goal in Step Up?

To provide an opportunity to understand the challenges impacting one’s life and the steps in how to begin the recovery process with the understanding that recovery is a personal journey. This group provides an opportunity for individuals to share, as well as learn recovery concepts and strategies.

Family Members and/or significant others who have loved ones that are struggling with Addiction and Mental Health concerns are also welcome.  They may benefit by increased understanding of Addiction and Mental Health as well as strategies to support loved ones who are struggling.

Tri Municipal community members – Attend this public information session to learn about radon exposure, the health effects, and what you can do to reduce your exposure to radon.

The 100 Test Kit Challenge from Take Action on Radon targets municipalities across Canada where radon testing has thus far been limited, but where there is a potential for homes to have elevated radon levels.

RADON is a colourless and odourless gas that is the LEADING CAUSE of LUNG CANCER among non-smokers. Health Canada estimates that radon is responsible for approximately 16% of lung cancers in Canada. CAREX Canada risk estimates for indoor air show that radon is the highest priority exposure in Canadian settings.

Radon testing is the only way to find out whether dangerous radon levels are present. Health Canada recommends testing homes and all public spaces. Mitigation strategies can reduce radon exposure in both new and existing structures.

*One Test Kit per home*

This event gives residents the opportunity to go to one location and experience the variety of recreation programs, volunteer opportunities, cultural activities and services available in Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and Parkland County.

The Town of Stony Plain will once again host the annual Christmas Tree Chipping Event this month. Mayor William Choy will participate in the tree chipping along with members of Town of Stony Plain Administration.

Residents can take part in this green initiative by dropping off their Christmas trees to be chipped into mulch for use in landscaping. All trees must be dropped off to the Rotary Recycling Center by the end of the day on January 18^th. Trees will not be accepted after this date.

“Every year, too many Christmas trees unnecessarily end up in landfills. This program allows us to divert hundreds of trees away from the landfills by recycling them for reuse in our community parks, greenspaces, and landscaping,” says Mayor William Choy.

“We appreciate the community’s commitment to this program. Those who participate are not only doing their part by being environmentally responsible, they are also helping make Stony Plain more beautiful by recycling their trees for use in landscaping projects.”

Don’t Just Trash It! Drop your Christmas Trees off to the Rotary Recycle Center on or before January 18^th. For more details, go to www.stonyplain.com/MyWaste.
