Mutual Support Group (MDO)
MDO is a registered, nonprofit volunteer-run organization that supports people with mood disorders and their loved ones. For 20 years, MDO has provided a variety of programs and services, including confidential support groups, social events, a radio show and monthly information meetings, featuring guest speakers from the mental health field and beyond.
MDO Events Are Cancelled
Due to the bus strike, all MDO events (except the PEER Support Group meetings) are cancelled until further notice.
This includes Info Night at Southminster Church (Jan 20) and Chinese Buffet (Jan 25).
Events will be rescheduled when the strike ends.
Christmas Dinner
Due to the bus strike, MDO's Annual Christmas Dinner has been postponed (from December 16).
Don't lose heart though -- a new date will be set as soon as the strike ends.
