Six week anxiety and worry program available, for free
Winnipeg Living with anxiety can feel scary and isolating, yet anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health issues. One in four people will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Fortunately, Manitobans struggling with anxiety have valuable resources at their disposal, and they're free. For almost 40 years, Anxiety Disorders Association of Manitoba (ADAM) has offered peer support and self-help programming throughout the province. Amber Schaefer is ADAM's intake coordinator. In her role, she takes calls and emails from a diverse range of people, of all ages and backgrounds, interested in programs and looking for information on how to manage anxiety.

'I really appreciate that we are a peer-led organization here,' said Schaefer about the registered charity. 'All of us from ADAM have lived experience with anxiety. There is something special with people asking for support. There's a mutual understanding of what it's like to live with anxiety.' These days, more and more people are referring to 'mental health,' and though it may have become a normalized part of everyday conversations, Schaefer said the stigma is still present. 'People are getting more comfortable in engaging in conversations. This is a common experience. We relate to others' experience. But I think that there's still a lot of hesitancy in reaching out. People have trouble asking for help. We want to share the message that reaching out for support when you need it is a sign of strength, not weakness.' ADAM's anxiety and worry support program is a practical, evidence-based program for managing anxiety, worry, and low mood. Sessions cover anxiety, worry, uncertainty, thinking, arousal reduction and activity, and motivation. The six-week program is entirely free and is provided online via Zoom, or by telephone for people without computer access. The program is facilitated by experienced and trained peer support workers who have lived experience with anxiety. Participants work through readings and homework — including self-help exercises — which involves a time commitment of about one-and-a-half hours per week. 'It's been very valuable,' said Schaefer about the program, which uses cognitive behaviour therapy techniques. 'We've received a lot of positive feedback from people saying that it was life-changing to have the tools to manage anxiety and connect with other people who may have similar experiences.' Programs run in September, January and in April, with additional programs sometimes offered in July and August. For those who have completed the six-week program there is an ongoing online support group. Schaefer says ADAM sees an increase in anxiety during holidays, weather changes, and during world events that bring about a lot of uncertainty.

It's important to be informed about what's going on in the world around you, but it's also important to make time for self-care,' she said, adding that fulfillment can be found in community involvement for those able to do so. 'We have some exciting programs coming out in the fall that will expand who we are reaching. We have coaching for confidence programs; for caregivers who work with children with anxiety; programs that are geared towards adolescents 13 to 18; and programs helping young mothers, postpartum,' she said, adding that peer support and self-help is provided through group and public information sessions that encourage understanding, solutions and empathy. 'We want to remind people that they're not alone. Help is available. Our focus is public education — making that information accessible to anyone. We are able to make helpful suggestions, help you navigate. We reach all Manitobans, and we have peer support workers in all corners of the province.' Last year, ADAM provided individual support to 97 individuals and to 639 through group support programs to Winnipeggers. Outside of Winnipeg, 834 individuals received support and 418 received assistance through group support programs. Over 200 individuals were provided with suggestions for support in their communities, and 2,685 people were reached through public education initiatives. Visit or find ADAM on social media.

Richtech Robotics' (RR) AI-Powered Robot ADAM Serves Over 16,000 Drinks in Las Vegas
Richtech Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:RR) is another company on the list of the 7 most popular AI penny stocks under $5 to avoid. On June 17, Richtech announced that its AI-powered robot, ADAM, has surpassed the milestone of serving 16,000 drinks at its flagship Clouffee & Tea location in Town Square, Las Vegas. A technician adjusting a human-machine interface in a laboratory surrounded by indoor multi-terrain robots. ADAM is equipped with proprietary AI software that runs on NVIDIA's chipset. The proprietary vision-AI technology allows the robot to monitor each cup in real-time. As such, it can adjust pour angles, flow rate, and timing for millimeter-level accuracy. Additionally, the robot can engage customers, suggest beverages, and execute complex recipes precisely and quickly. According to Matt Casella, President of Richtech Robotics, surpassing 16,000 drinks served is a 'compelling validation of ADAM's real-world performance and commercial viability.' He emphasized that ADAM delivers a faster, smarter, and more engaging customer experience. This aligns with the company's objective to transform service models in food and beverage. Richtech Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:RR) is a Nevada-based provider of AI-driven service robots. It specializes in the service industry, including the hospitality and healthcare sectors. The company designs, builds, and sells robots for food and beverage service, indoor delivery, and cleaning. Leading products so far include Matradee, ADAM, Titan, and DUST-E. While we acknowledge the potential of RR as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
