Homeless Funding model Changes, Mental Health for 2025, and Decluttering in 2025

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR THURSDAY, JAN 02 Advocates have raised concerns as the Alberta government recently announced plans to replace the funding model for homelessness agencies – which would see funds being distributed to organizations solely by the Province. We hear what impact this change will have - with Tim Richter, President & CEO of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness. Next – it’s another “Mental Health Moment” with our Mental Health Advocate & Social Worker Karen Gallagher-Burt. This time out, Karen gives us an update on her own ‘mental health struggles’ – and offers up some suggestions for healthy coping mechanisms to increase your productivity and lower your stress in the New Year. And finally - the New Year is a great time to refresh, declutter and get organized. We catch up with Calgary-based Professional Organizer and Declutterer - Megan Golightly, for some tips to get the ball rolling – when it comes to getting organized in 2025.
