Struggling with feelings of loneliness, depression and anxiety?

According to Harvard scientist Kasley Killam (and the longest study of human flourishing that has ever been done), the strength of our personal relationships is the biggest predictor of our health and happiness.

• On average, the idea is that we need to connect with at least 5 different people each week - this could be just saying hi to someone from the gym, or work, or church or a yoga class.

• We also need to nurture at least 3 closer relationships each week - with people who truly matter to us (family or friends).

• And we need to spend at least 1 hour each day interacting with others. This doesn't have to happen all at once - it can be done a few minutes at a time - and it can be combined with the time you spend running errands, doing grocery shopping, eating lunch, etc.

Like with any part of our health and wellness journey, these patterns of behaviour might take a little time and effort to develop. But by expanding our connections to others, we are able to fight back against some of the most common mental heal ailments that many people experience!

Do you find yourself staying up late, when you know you should be sleeping? Does the need for getting some uninterrupted quiet time to yourself mean more to you than a good night's rest (even though you know that you will regret it in the morning)?

"Revenge Bedtime Procrastination" is a very real thing! It happens for a few different reasons, and it can unfortunately cause some very serious problems with a person's physical and mental health, if it becomes a regular occurrence.

But there are ways to manage this pattern of bedtime procrastination. Learn more by checking out our Blog at https://tacitknows.com/bedtime-procrastination/

Without realizing that they are doing it, people who struggle with anxiety often develop patterns that end up making the feelings much worse.

"Managing Anxiety In Kids" outlines common mistakes that inadvertently strengthen the feelings of anxiety that people of all ages experience (making it even more challenging to feel balanced and in control).

Participants will learn the solutions that change these dysfunctional patterns so the anxiety can be successfully addressed and overcome. This session is designed specifically for parents, as they understand how to better help their children cope – but the information is applicable to anyone who lives with anxiety.

Join Tacit Knowledge and the Parkland & West Family Resource Network (Alberta Parenting for the Future Association) on September 23rd at 6:30pm MST (to 8:00pm MST) for this FREE, online Workshop.

Everyone is welcome to attend (you do NOT need to be a resident of Parkland County to participate.)

For such a simple concept, the search for true happiness can be quite elusive. The more we chase it, the harder it seems to be to find.

Join us in-person, on Tuesday, September 16th, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm, for this FREE community workshop – Finding Happiness. This session helps participants understand how to recognize what will truly make them happy, and provides steps that can be taken to create this satisfaction, joy and purpose in life, regardless of the challenges that also exist. And it teaches participants how to create the resiliency they need in life to lessen feelings of anxiety, depression and stress; and helps participants develop a stronger sense of intrinsic motivation and purpose.

Finding Happiness is open to anyone (you do not need to be a resident of Strathcona County to participate).

Registration for this event is requested (you can sign up at the door, but please register ahead if possible) – but there is no cost! For more information or to register: go to https://sclibrary.ca/

A good night’s sleep is an essential foundation for a productive and successful day. Sleep is the building block upon which we can create healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with physical discomfort, anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. But truly restful and energizing sleep can be an elusive thing, especially as we age.

Join us for this FREE in-person workshop - on Friday, September 12th - starting at 11am. Learn ways to address common sleep disturbance issues and create an atmosphere for deep, healing slumber, so you can wake up refreshed and ready to face whatever the day might bring. The strategies taught in this session are specific to anyone who is over the age of 50.

This session is open to everyone - participants do NOT have to be residents of Beaumont to participate.

There is no need to pre-register - interested attendees can just show up at the Beaumont 50+ Club (5204A 50 Ave, Beaumont, AB).

Ever find yourself replaying what you said in a meeting, over and over again? Or avoiding small talk in the break room? Or dreading presentation moments, days in advance?

When we are living with social anxiety in the workplace, we can often feel isolated, exhausted and on edge, even when we are performing well. Many of us silently struggle with the pressure to appear confident while we are feeling anything but that.

If navigating social situations at work feels overwhelming, you are not alone. Our therapists at Tacit Knowledge are here to listen, support, and guide you toward confidence and ease in the workplace.

UCLA researchers found that curcumin—the active compound in turmeric—can improve memory performance by up to 28% in older adults, over an 18-month period. Many studies have shown that curcumin’s powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties support brain health and reduce cognitive decline.

To get more curcumin in our day, we can add turmeric to smoothies, curries, soups, or even golden milk lattes. Just remember to pair it with black pepper to boost absorption!

Do you include turmeric in your diet? Let us know how you use it!

The process of increasing our mental wellness isn't big and immediately noticeable —it usually happens through quiet shifts.

When our mental health starts to improve, the heavy feelings (of worry, anxiety, pressure, depression, concern, etc.) that we have been carrying slowly lift. Our laughter starts to feel a little more genuine. We have the energy to care about things again. And we begin to remember what peace and calm feels like, even just for short moments.

These small but powerful signs remind us that we are moving in the right direction, even when there are still days when it might not feel like it. Recovery takes time - it comes in small steps - and each one is an accomplishment that we can be proud of!
