According to the CMHA, about 3% of Canadians will experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, and another 15% report milder drops in mood during the winter months. For newcomers to Ottawa, these effects can be even stronger \u2014 especially when winter is unfamiliar and social supports are still forming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we can\u2019t control the seasons, we can change how we respond to them. This guide brings together research-backed strategies to support physical, social, emotional, and environmental wellness during winter. Our goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and optimistic \u2014 even in the coldest months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
