Support Group Information

Welcome to the Manitoba ME/CFS website and Manitoba ME/CFS Support Group. We are an inclusive group of individuals from all walks of life, and although we are located in Manitoba, Canada, we invite members from other provinces, locations, and countries to join us.

When do we meet?

We meet virtually on the last Saturday of every month at 6:30 p.m. CST. We send out a Zoom link before the meeting, so that you can join us. To be notified, please send us an email at mbmecfs(at)gmail(dot)com.

To connect with us the rest of the month, please feel free to join our Discord meeting page (Link in the top menu of the website).

Here Are The Group Rules for Participation:

  1. What is shared in the meeting should stay within the group and not be discussed outside of it.

  2. Respect: Members should treat each other with respect and avoid criticism or judgment.

  3. Active Listening: Members should actively listen to one another, showing empathy and avoiding interruptions. Please mute your microphone when not speaking to block background noises.

  4. Focus on the Present Moment: Members should focus on the current topic and avoid bringing up past events or conflicts.

  5. Self-Disclosure: Members should feel free to share their own experiences and feelings, but should also respect the decision of others who may not wish to do so.

  6. Relevance: Members should strive to keep discussions relevant to the topic and purpose of the meeting.

  7. Time Limits: Members should respect the time limits of the meeting and avoid monopolizing the conversation.

  8. No Solicitation: The meeting should not be used as a platform for commercial purposes or personal gain.

  9. Professionalism: Members should maintain a professional demeanor, avoiding the use of offensive language or behavior.
