February is Black History Month
This year’s theme, “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations,” celebrates the powerful contributions of Black Canadians—past, present, and future. From nation builders who shaped our communities to today’s visionaries creating change, we honour resilience, excellence, and legacy. At Turning Point Counselling, we’re proud to reflect, celebrate, and stand for equity and inclusion in our community.

Friendship isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s essential to our mental health. 💛 Yet so many of us struggle to prioritize it, even as loneliness grows.

In the podcast, The Optimist, Maggie Penman explores why so many of us are craving deeper connection and what happens when we intentionally make space for new friendships.

Her journey reminds us that meaningful relationships support emotional resilience, reduce stress, and protect mental health across the lifespan.

Research shows that friendships matter for everyone — men and women alike. Strong social bonds help combat loneliness, improve wellbeing, and lower the risk of depression and anxiety. When connection is missing, mental health suffers. When it’s nurtured, we heal together.

Happy Birthday Catherine!!

Our therapist, Catherine is thrilled to be at a 3-day training in Toronto and learning from the very esteemed Emotionally Focused Therapy trainer and author, Leanne Campbell. This is a profound time for Catherine, as she has looked up to Leanne for years and has led her on the path of finding a therapy modality that feels like home.
On a personal level, Nala her dog is waiting at the livingroom window and is going to be super excited to see her face tonight when she gets back!! 💕🐕

🧡 During the National Week for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never made it home.
At Turning Point Counselling we recognize that mental health and wellness cannot be separated from truth, justice, and equity. Standing against oppression means listening to Indigenous voices, acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonialism, and committing to action in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities.
Reconciliation is not a single week—it is lifelong work. We invite you to read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and support Indigenous-led organizations and initiatives in our community. www.turningpt.ca

Today, the owner and operators of Turning Point Counselling, Geoff and Catherine enthusiastically hosted our annual appreciation brunch for their amazing team of therapists!
Catherine’s office was transformed to an elegant dining room and a delicious spread was enjoyed by all.
Special thanks to the Sober Sips in downtown Barrie for their non alcoholic Sangria and mimosas! What a treat!

Turning Point Counselling would like to thank all of their therapists and client care coordinator for providing excellent care and for their unwavering commitment to mental healthcare. We’d also like to this opportunity to thank our clients for choosing Turning Point Counselling for support. You matter to us. It is truly an honour that you gift us with the ability to walk with you through difficult times. Thank YOU! 💕
