Posted • Many people may hide challenges they’re experiencing to their mental health—at school, work, online or with family and friends. But constantly masking what you’re experiencing can feel draining and isolating. This year’s theme, “Unmasking Mental Health” encourages people across Canada to recognize the benefits of building connections by sharing openly and honestly about how they’re doing, really.

Everyone deserves a safe space to express themselves authentically without fear. Kids Help Phone is available 24/7 to offer confidential, non-judgmental support for whatever you may be experiencing.

Truth comes before reconciliation because there needs to be acknowledgement of the harm, validation for the and accountability. Reconciliation involves healing, building trust, preventing repetition and authentic forgiveness. Allyship is something you do rather than something you claim—-it’s demonstrated through behaviour and not self-declaration.

Another great read! This book is definitely filled with useful information for therapists on how to talk differently about problems in order to quickly generate possibilities. I am lucky enough to have participated in several trainings and consultations with Scot and this book definitely solidified those conversations!

We are often drawn back to the known and familiar because it is less scary however this enables patterns/habits to continue. True change requires us to step outside of our comfort zone and lean towards the unknown and unfamiliar. This allows for cycles to be broken and healthier habits to be created.

Headaches, joint pain, nausea, canker sores, brain fog (and the list goes on) are just a few symptoms that can be caused by suppressing our emotions. Let’s create space for us to embrace and honour every feeling instead of pushing them away. Take a moment today to pause, breathe and allow yourself to fully experience what you are feeling. #

This is a constant work in progress…and we work a lot on this in couples and family counselling. The only person you have control over is yourself! #

Had a blast working with this group of soccer players! They were learning about the power of mental health in sports (especially for high performance athletes). ⛸
