There are only a couple more days before I give this live presentation on Thursday at 5 PM EST. I'll be repeating the live presentation again this Saturday, the 24th, at 12 PM EST. I'll be presenting on Post-Traumatic Growth, the Neuroscience of Trauma, Resilience, and how Trauma affects Relationships. It's going to be fun :)

Reserve your seat for either day with The First Responder Behaviour Health Institute using this link: https://frbhi.com/resilience-recovery-post-traumatic-growth/

I hope to see you there.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health 🌱

New Youth Mental Health Group – Starting February 2

Raising a young person today comes with unique challenges. Stress, anxiety, emotional struggles, and social pressures can feel overwhelming—for both youth and parents.

We are starting a Youth Mental Health Group designed to provide a safe, supportive, and age-appropriate space where young people can:

🧠 Learn healthy coping and emotional regulation skills

💬 Express themselves in a guided, non-judgmental environment

🤝 Build positive peer connections

🌱 Strengthen confidence, resilience, and self-awareness

📅 Start Date: February 2
👥 Who: Youth ages 11-14
📍 Location: 183 1st Ave West
⏰ Time: Mondays from 6:30 pm -7:30 pm

This group is facilitated with care, confidentiality, and a strong focus on emotional well-being. Our goal is to support youth while giving parents peace of mind, knowing their child is learning healthy tools for life.

We believe healing happens in safety, connection, and compassion.

We’re honoured to share that Healing Connections Psychotherapy has been selected as a 2026 Canadian Choice Award Winner for Mental Health Clinics in North Bay 🏆
