Anger Management
We host separate groups for men and women.
Our supportive program helps participants learn to understand the complexities of anger, how anger can go awry, how to change their experiences of anger, and how to respond to another person’s anger.
However, this course deals with anger and stress management in general. Group discussions and worksheets allow participants to acknowledge that life comes with complications, but with the proper tools and conditioning, we can change our responses from negative to positive.
Other topics relating to the subject of anger will also be explored, such as self-esteem, assertiveness, anxiety and depression.
Anxiety & Depression Support Group
The Anxiety and Depression group program is designed to increase your understanding of the symptoms you may be having and build skills to manage symptoms more healthily and positively. Over the course of 8 weekly sessions, you will have the opportunity to learn new skills and share your experience with others. The goal is to provide you with a tool kit of coping strategies when facing triggering or emotionally challenging situations. Exploring challenges in a group setting can provide insight, normalize your experience, and make you feel less alone.
Topics explored through presentations and interactive activities include self-awareness, grounding techniques, core beliefs, the cognitive triangle, recognizing automatic thoughts, negative bias, alternative responses, and self-compassion.
Men’s Wellness Program
Health is subjective, and this group discusses that and so much more. Does healthy mean physical, mental, or relationship? It means all of this.
Managing Powerful Emotions
Through DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), people are taught two seemingly opposite strategies: acceptance (i.e. that their experience and behaviours are valid) and change (i.e. that they have to make positive changes to manage emotions and move forward). The purpose is to help people introduce effective and practical skills into their lives that they can use when they are distressed. These skills are meant to replace other unhealthy and negative behaviours.
Strong Women Rising
The foundation of Strong Women Rising is to learn to focus on self by adopting a mindful and conscious perspective of life and self. Strong Women Rising teaches us how to change our conversation with ourselves by living in the ‘now’ by adapting mindful coping strategies. Throughout the program, we remove our layers, find our true and authentic selves, remove the expectations of who we thought we should be, and start accepting who we are. Each week, Strong Women Rising focuses on the following topics through a mindful lens: stress & resilience, work-life balance, coping strategies, stigma & culture, no is a complete sentence, boundaries, and manifestation. Through the Strong Women Rising program, women also get an opportunity to hear how other local women continue to ‘rise’ and share their ‘stories.’
Suicide Bereavement
This is a closed group, supporting family members through the loss of someone to suicide. This is an 8-week program with three facilitators. This group directly leads into another group called New Me, in which there will be another 8-week group focusing on living while someone’s gone. This group is only for family members or close friends – no observers or students. Be advised there is a waitlist for this program.
The Stillness Project: Loving Someone Through Addiction
You are not alone in loving someone through addiction. This group is designed to provide a safe, welcoming space of stillness in the sometimes chaotic world of supporting loved ones who live with substance use. The goal is to build a community of understanding where you will have a voice to share the challenges of daily life and the resulting impact. Together, the group will learn and share coping skills, self-care strategies, and healthy boundaries.
