Resilience Report

Your Monthly Breath of Fresh Air

Why Try Courses at Peak Resilience?


We have a few exciting new courses (one starts February 27th!) all based on research by Brené Brown on Shame Resilience. This video explores why attending groups can be so transformative. 

Take a peek at our group offerings here.

Is my problem really that important?

Amanda Hamm discusses how to acknowledge your privilege without discounting your own struggles and experience. More compassion for yourself = more compassion for others!

Did you know: Canada's International Assistance Policy is Feminist?


We discuss intersectional feminism a lot at Peak Resilience (mainly because mental health is a feminist issue). We also believe that it's important to think of feminism in a global sense, because a large percentage of the women in this world are facing many more barriers than we can imagine here in Canada. 

That's why we were impressed to see that the Canadian Government's International Assistance Policy is based on feminist principles. We're highlighting this here to show that progress is being made... especially when the media (and what's happening in politics) can make us feel like we're going backwards.

RESILIENT SOUNDTRACK


February can be a bit over the top about love and relationships. So at Peak Resilience we're focusing on encouraging you to love yourselves, whether your in a relationship or not. Who better to teach us self-love than Beyoncé? Her performance of "I was here" shows how she celebrates her life, love and contributions to the world. 


I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that and something that I left behind
When I leave this world I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember so they won't forget

I was here, I lived, I loved
I was here, I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here

I wanna say I lived each day until I died
And know that I meant something in somebody's life
The hearts I have touched will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference and this world will see
I was here, I lived, I loved

I was here, I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here, I lived, I loved

I was here, I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here
I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because I was here

I was here, I lived, I loved
I was here, I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know I was here

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here, I did, I've done
I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here, I did, I've done
I was here
