COVID-19 Announcements:
The following resources may be
impacted due to Covid19. Please contact organizations directly when searching
for information about services.
In response to COVID-19, The Broadway Seniors Resource Council has decided to close our office and cancel all community programming that we provide until further notice.
Dear clients,
Like so many other organizations, we have not made this decision lightly as we are aware of the impact the increased social isolation removing our programs will have on the older adult population we serve. However, it was clear to us that this is the best way we can serve our clientele is to help keep the virus from spreading.
That said, as the Coordinator for the
BSRC, I will continue to be available via email: broadwayseniors@gmail.com and phone 204-772-3533. We will continue to provide our referral and
support services and can act as an intermediate for those in the community
wishing to support older adults in a variety of ways.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.
Take care, everyone!

AbilitiCBT Virtual Therapy Program
https://manitoba.ca/covid19/bewell/virtualtherapy.html Program available in English and French. This is a FREE program available to Manitobans age 16+. The program is guided by professional therapists and addresses anxiety symptoms related to the uniquely challenging aspects of pandemics: uncertainty, physical isolation, caring for family and community members, information overload, and stress management.
The program will help participants learn what anxiety is and how it affects their emotions, mind, body, and behavior; reduce anxiety by learning cognitive behavioral therapy skills and using them to change responses to triggers; develop coping strategies to track and reduce anxiety and better manage daily activities.
Participants will fill out an online health screening questionnaire, and a therapist will reach out within three days to book an initial assessment by phone.
