• 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.
