💙 🐾 Mindful Monday at Magellan Winnipeg – Blue Monday Just Got Better! Today, a special Mindful Monday event was held at Magellan's Winnipeg facility, focusing on both mental and physical well-being. The mission? Transform "Blue Monday" into the best Monday of the year! To kick off the day, employees enjoyed some pet therapy courtesy of K9 Advocacy Manitoba and Tails of Freedom. Adorable (and adoptable!) puppies and kittens were available for snuggles and stress relief in the cafeteria meeting space. Interacting with animals is known to lower blood pressure and reduce anxiety, making this a heartwarming start to the week. In support of these amazing rescues, Magellan made a donation, and employees were encouraged to contribute as well. 🐈 🐕 Still looking to relax? Wellness on Wheels was on-site offering rejuvenating 5-minute chair massages, helping employees ease the day’s tension. 🧘🏻 Magellan also made a meaningful donation to Project 11, a mental health initiative supporting youth and adults. Created in honor of Rick Rypien, #11 of the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose, Project 11 promotes mental health awareness and resilience. Rick faced significant mental health challenges throughout his life until his passing in 2011. Additionally, employees were reminded of Magellan Winnipeg's excellent Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through TELUS Health | TELUS Santé. An informational display was set up to share details about the program, offering helpful tips, free consultations with counselors, and other resources to support mental well-being. The goal of the day was to prioritize wellness. Whether de-stressing with a furry friend, enjoying a relaxing massage, or learning about valuable mental health resources, this Mindful Monday truly made a positive impact. 💙
