🧠 EMDR Therapy 🧠

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapeutic approach that helps clients process past experiences, current challenges, and future worries that may be causing emotional distress. Our therapists use EMDR to lessen the emotional intensity of difficult experiences and support you in moving forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Now offering direct billing to over 25 insurers.

🎉 Shoutout to Hailey & Laurie! 🎉

Big cheers to our very own Hailey and Laurie, who were recently recognized by the Fort McMurray Public School Division for their incredible commitment to student excellence! 🏆‍💫

These two amazing humans spend their days popping into schools all across our city, mentoring, supporting, and inspiring the next generation. If you’ve seen them in your hallway, now you know why—they’re kind of a big deal! 😉

They’re not just mentors.. they’re champions for children, youth, and our entire SOS community. Whether it’s lending an ear, sharing a laugh, or helping a student shine, they’re making a difference every single day. 💛

So next time you see Hailey or Laurie in your school, don’t be shy—say hi, give a high-five, or even toss them a “you’re awesome!” 🙌

It’s Mental Illness Awareness Week, a time to open our eyes to the realities of mental illness. Mental health is a right for all people and critical for the wellbeing of our community.

This year, we focused the Wood Buffalo Community Grant applications on mental health and resilience because our region has faced so much adversity. From the pandemic to natural disasters, this community continued to face issues with care—but we need to lift each other up.

Some Other Solutions is available 24/7 at 780-743-4357 (HELP) for confidential, anonymous and non-judgmental support. If you or a loved one are struggling, please know that you are not alone. This community is here to help.
