Selkirk & Interlake Mental Health Support Centre

Established in 1991, our organization has dedicated over three decades to supporting adults with lived mental health experiences in Manitoba's Interlake and Eastman regions. We operate five community-based drop-in centres that prioritize recovery-oriented services, social integration, and skill-building through programs like our Transitional Employment Program (TEP). Our collaboration with the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority ensures alignment with regional healthcare standards while maintaining a peer-support framework. We focus on rebuilding confidence through structured evaluations, goal-setting, and practical training in daily living skills. Our services include daily lunch programs, socialization activities, resume writing workshops, and community advocacy initiatives.

With centres in Selkirk, Ashern, Arborg, Lac du Bonnet, and Lundar, we provide accessible mental health resources tailored to individual needs. Our team emphasizes emotional wellness through cooking classes, budgeting education, and recreational outings that foster independence. We maintain strict behavioral guidelines to ensure safe environments for social interaction and group participation. As a non-profit, we prioritize referrals to specialized mental health organizations and community services while promoting wellness through peer-led initiatives. Our Sunflower Caf and board development programs further demonstrate our commitment to holistic mental health support.
