Are you feeling lonely, isolated or in need of an empathetic ear to listen? Know that you are not alone, and support is there, offered by those who have walked in your shoes.
- Exploring Emotions & Behaviours - This virtual group challenges negative emotions and shares coping strategies to promote our own personal wellness. Peers will be asked to share a troubling experience and the group will work together to come up with solutions. This group runs every Tuesday from 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
- Mindfulness - Explore coping strategies to find moments of calm, inner peace, and healing in your day. Mindfulness is being fully aware of what is happening in the present moment without filters and judgements. Together, we develop compassion for ourselves and learn how to breathe during stressful moments. This group runs every other Monday from 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm.
- Family Support Group: A safe and non-judgemental space where family members can share experiences supporting loved ones with mental health and addiction challenges. Find resources and referrals, and a community to support your family, listen and understand what you are going through. This group runs every 1 st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 7 pm - 9 pm.
- The Meeting Spot (Virtual Drop-in) - Join us for a conversation, social connection, and community engagement. The Meeting Spot is a safe and inclusive peer-led virtual support group that meets from Monday through Friday. NEW: Every first and third Sunday of the month. Here, we strive to maintain a welcoming environment where you will find support and understanding from others who share similar experiences relating to mental health and addiction challenges.
- Tough Stuff - An All-Inclusive Addictions Group supports peers with challenges with substance use, food, and behaviours. This is a safe space for open and honest discussions, and meet others with lived experience, who know how you feel! This group will identify what triggers us as well as share coping strategies. This group runs every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 5 pm-6:30 pm.
