Mental Health Information

Once you know your tire is flat you need to know how to use the tools to change it, or the right number to call for help. Mental health issues can be the same. Reaching out to increase awareness and learn about the tools that work for you can be scary - but once you start the work - change can come quickly.
Call or PM for more information and how short term counselling can help.

Changing beliefs after bullying isn’t easy.
Sometimes the hardest part is that you don’t feel the new, positive belief right away. Just like learning to shoot on your weak side in hockey, it takes practice, repetition, and patience before it feels natural.

Bullying can plant harmful stories about who we are, but with support and consistent action, we can rewrite those stories into ones of strength, belonging, and self confidence.

Bullying leaves lasting marks on confidence, relationships, and mental health—but it doesn’t have to define the story. As a counsellor specializing in bullying prevention and recovery, I focus on the practical psychology that helps people move forward with strength and resilience.

🎙️ I recently shared insights on the Practical Psychology Podcast—from why bullying happens to what we can need to do about it in minor hockey through my project www.puckofftobullying.com

✨ Whether it is workplace, school or sports if you or your child have been impacted by bullying, know that there are evidence-based strategies that can help. You’re not alone.

Boundary setting is needed for self care, autonomy and independence. It is the stories we carry that tell ourselves that in order to be a good person we carry others - to the sacrifice of serenity and acceptance.

The key to healthier relationships is teaching clients how to establish boundaries.
That’s why we’ve created this free infographic where bestselling author and boundaries expert Nedra Tawwab classifies boundaries into 6 common areas with examples of what they include.

So much of our fear is recycled memory—old stories replaying themselves as future worries.

But what if you paused today and asked yourself this one question…
Not to fix anything.
Not to heal it all at once.
Just to witness what remains when the past no longer defines you.

💭 Ask yourself: If I didn’t have a past, what would I still be afraid of? Share below.

Doing nothing is doing something. Every moment is an opposite to learn and grow. To rest and reset.

If all you did today was survive, that is enough. If all you did today was rest, that is enough. There is no reason to make yourself an enemy. Illustration by
