❤️ Happy Holidays from Harmony Haven 💚

As the year comes to a close, we want to offer a gentle reminder: the holidays don’t have to look a certain way to be meaningful.

For some, this season is filled with connection, laughter, and tradition. For others, it can bring grief, stress, loneliness, or exhaustion. Wherever you find yourself, your experience is valid.

We hope you’re able to rest when you need to, set boundaries where helpful, and spend time, whether with others or alone, in ways that feel nourishing and grounding to you. Small moments of care count.

May this season offer you moments of ease, softness, and self-compassion. And if it feels hard, know you’re not alone and support is always okay to reach for.

Wishing you peace, warmth, and gentle care, now and into the new year 🤍

- Michelle

One of my absolute favourite parts of my career and journey as a Social Worker has always been the people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. Over the years, I’ve met some truly incredible humans, and two of them have now officially joined the Harmony Haven team!

🩷Jonayca is now accepting new in-person clients! Her warmth, empathy, and commitment to creating safe, healing spaces shine through in everything she does. Anyone who works with her quickly feels seen, supported, and deeply cared for.

💜 Alisha is an MSW Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency student who will be supporting all things Harmony Haven, from program development to community engagement (and everything in between!). She’ll be accepting new clients at a reduced fee in the new year. Her passion for culturally grounded care and her heart for others inspire me every day.

I’ve had the joy of working closely with both of these amazing women, and I can’t say enough about their care, selflessness, and genuine dedication to helping others heal and grow. Harmony Haven is so lucky to have them, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue this journey together.

Please join me in welcoming Jonayca and Alisha to the Harmony Haven family! 🤍

Just a few more spots in the 11+ group for anyone interested 😊

We’re excited to introduce Roots & Resilience: a fun, supportive program designed to help kids build confidence, manage emotions, and develop healthy coping tools.

Each week combines learning, creative activities, and mindfulness practices and will cover topics such as emotions, managing anxiety, confidence, bullying, communication, and self-esteem. Each child will leave with practical skills, take-home tools, and a stronger sense of resilience and belonging.

Program Details:
📅 6 weeks - Mondays: October 6, 13, 20, 27 and Nov 3, 10
💲 $250 total - $41.67 per session
💳 Reimbursable through extended health insurance.
Receipts will be sent after each session.
📝 To register: Sign up for the first session in Jane, and we’ll reserve all 6 for your child.
Limited spots available per group. 2:10 ratio.
🥐 Snacks and beverages will be provided.

One session does fall on Thanksgiving Monday. While I was initially hesitant, it actually feels like a perfect fit with that week’s theme focusing on gratitude and mindfulness, and what better time to practice gratitude than on Thanksgiving itself? 🍂✨

We’d love to have your child join us for this special program.

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Today, on September 30, we honour the survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never made it home. This day calls us to listen, to learn, and to take action toward healing and reconciliation.

We also acknowledge that the impacts of residential schools continue to affect Indigenous communities through trauma, grief, and loss. Mental health is deeply tied to truth and reconciliation. Healing happens when stories are heard, when support is accessible, and when we walk together in respect.

As a mental health agency, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. We are committed to fostering safe, inclusive spaces for healing, and we encourage everyone to reflect on how we can support reconciliation in our daily lives.

🧡 Wear orange today.
🧡 Learn from survivors’ stories.
🧡 Take action toward reconciliation.

If today brings up difficult feelings, know that support is available: 📞 The National Indian Residential School Crisis Line is available 24/7 at 1-866-925-4419.

Every step toward reconciliation is a step toward collective healing. 🧡

Share with caregivers you may know who would benefit from peer support! 💞

Gentle reminder: Healing isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up for yourself, even in small ways. 🤍

Take it one step at a time. Rest when you need to. Ask for help when it feels heavy. And remember, you are deeply loved and appreciated, just as you are. ✨

In such a short time, Harmony Haven has grown beyond what Steve and I could have imagined on our own. I feel deeply grateful, blessed, and incredibly excited for what the future holds.

Welcoming Stacey and Narmeen to our team means that families who might face a conflict of interest with one of us can still receive safe and supportive care through Harmony Haven. It also means that parents can receive support alongside their children, while honouring a safe space for each individual. Their skills and expertise align so beautifully with our vision, enhancing the holistic care we can provide to families.

I’ve long dreamed of a space where families can access holistic, person-centered, culturally relevant, and trauma-informed care, and with Stacey and Narmeen joining us, that dream feels closer than ever.

Stacey will be able to provide direct billing through NIHB and her practice is one that is deeply rooted in supporting Indigenous individuals and families as they unpack cultural identity, address the impacts of intergenerational trauma, and connect with their roots and spirit.

Narmeen offers a wealth of experience in navigating autism services and supports, and carries a deep understanding of behavioural strategies and supports. Narmeen is also able to provide psychotherapy in Urdu and Hindi.

Huge welcome to the team!! 💞
