Thank you for helping us keep the Momentum for our Anchor Men’s Support Group!⚓️

✨SAVE THE DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 20TH 4-7PM ✨

Momentum Counselling has been offering life-saving mental health services to Edmonton’s men through the Anchor Men’s Group for over a decade. The Anchor Men’s group provides essential weekly support to men facing a variety of mental health challenges.  Men are statistically less likely to seek mental healthcare, and Anchor addresses this by offering a service free of charge, with no barriers to participation. Many of the men who attend have shared that Anchor is the only place where they feel truly understood and supported.  With weekly attendance averaging 50 participants, and nearly 2,500 participants over the course of a year, Anchor serves as a vital support system for those who might otherwise fall through the cracks of the traditional mental health system. ⚓️

Funding for this group has recently ended, so we are planning a fundraiser to help save this critical resource for men.  Our fundraiser will include a BBQ, street hockey in our parking lot, and a silent auction.  This fundraiser is not only a call for donations, but also creates a space to celebrate men, to support men’s mental health, and to encourage social connection and community engagement.  ☀️😎⛱️🏒

We would love to take this opportunity to invite you all to join us in support of men’s mental health! Whether you’re an organization member, community partner, supporter, or someone passionate about mental wellness, your presence will make a difference. 

Feel free to drop by any time between 4-7PM!

We look forward to seeing you there! 💙💙

The Living Life to the Full (LLTTF) course supports youth by equipping them with practical, evidence-based strategies grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to manage everyday challenges. The course is based on the Five Areas Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model as developed by Dr. Chris Williams – an expert in CBT and Professor in Psychosocial Psychiatry. Over 8 weeks, the program empowers young people to understand the interconnectedness of their thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping them build resilience, enhance self-confidence, manage stress, and address unhelpful thoughts. By promoting self-management skills and emotional well-being, the course fosters holistic personal growth and better coping mechanisms for life’s stressors.

In 8 fun, friendly 90-minute sessions, Living Life to the Full Youth (aged 13 to 18) helps youth make a difference in their lives. Adapted from the adult LLTTF course, each session is moderated by a youth-certified LLTTF facilitator and includes a booklet, handouts, exercises and discussions. The course includes fun activities and group challenges to help youth practice and develop their skills. The facilitator will present a new topic at each weekly class that provides simple, practical skills for coping with stress, problem-solving, boosting your mood, and busting bad thoughts.

Youth can sign up by emailing info@momentumcounselling.org or calling our reception team at 780-757-0900 ✨✨✨

Halee and Eathan Knutson are running the Edmonton Marathon in honour of Laurie — Halee’s mom, their family’s heart, and a woman who lived with fierce love, deep honesty, and the strength to face her mental health struggles head-on.

Laurie passed away by su***de on July 15, 2024. Her story didn’t end there — because now, mile by mile, Halee and Eathan are turning their grief into purpose. They’re raising funds for Momentum Counselling’s Women’s Wellness Group — a program that offers safe, supportive spaces for women navigating mental health challenges. The kind of space Laurie deserved.

Due to funding cuts, this group is at risk, and Haley and Ethan have so graciously chosen to fundraise to support the group, turning their personal loss into a powerful call for healing and hope.

This run is for Laurie. For every woman who’s ever felt like she was too much, or not enough. For every person trying to find their way back to themselves.

Please consider donating or sharing. Every step counts. Every dollar matters. Every voice helps carry this love forward. 🫶

Yesterday, our team participated at the Career ConneXion Event at the Breadin Centre for Career Advancement! They provide responsive services that empower and connect people to fully contribute to our community through pathways to education and employment. We spent time speaking to folks about our merger with the Mental Health Co-pilots as well as openings for volunteer positions within the agency! ✨😊
