Our self-management support program, initially developed in French, has benefited 4,000 participants so far. The program is now being translated in English.

The Anxiety Self-Management Workshop is the first one available in English, since January 2018. The following workshops are expected to be available in English in 2019:

  • Depression Self-Management
  • Bipolar Disorder Self-Management
  • Self-Esteem Self-Management
  • Self-Management in the Workplace

The full version of this website is currently being translated into English. The current version includes two informative sections intended for:

  • People living with anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder and their loved ones
  • Professionals or organizations interested in offering our workshops

Professionals or organizations interested in offering our workshops

Providing access to self-management support will improve people’s ability to manage their anxiety, depression, or bipolar symptoms.

Self-management includes all the actions we can take to reclaim our health and actively participate in various aspects of our recovery, including adopting behaviours that reduce symptoms, prevent relapses and improve our well-being on a daily basis. The five “J’avance!” workshops are founded on evidence-based data and best practices, with results from funded research. Other organizations giving the workshops have had similar success, which strongly indicates that these results can be replicated on a much larger scale.

“J’avance!” and Revivre are strongly supported by key experts, researchers and organizations, including: Mental Health Commission of Canada, Canadian Mental Health Association (Quebec Division), Mood Disorders Society of Canada, Centre national d’excellence en santé mentale au Québec, Douglas Institute, Université de Montréal, Université du Québec à Montréal, Université de Sherbrooke, Impact 8 (MaRS), the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, Bell Let’s Talk, and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.

Clinical arguments, research papers, letters of support and references are available upon request.

Testimonials from some of our participants

“I was finally able to share with others and realize I wasn’t the only one in a similar situation.”
“The workshops allowed me to better accept depression, to see it more as an illness. The concept of self-management brings hope that many things can change, that we still have some level of self-control.”
“What stuck in my mind throughout the workshops is the self-management concept, the determining role every person has in recovering from their illness. And this, without any guilt.”
“I am 100% satisfied with the workshop; you enabled me to open up and rediscover my joie de vivre.”
“I feel like I’m in less of a void. I understand better, I’m proactive and I put strategies into action. Thank you! It changed my life.”
