Hey ladies! we see you, we hear you, and we’re cheering you on. 👏

Being a woman in business is brave, creative, and powerful in all the right ways. Today, we’re celebrating the women who pour their hearts into what they do like lifting others up, creating meaningful work, and building community along the way. 🌿

VK Wellness was co-founded by Kara and Vanessa and is now home to eight amazing women entrepreneurs — Mara, Angela, Chelsea, Julie, Frani, Amy, Tarra, and our allied partner Nancy. Each one brings something special to our team and to the people they support.

Join our FREE Women’s walk N talks this Sunday November 23. Visit https://vkwellness.ca/workshops-events/

Here’s to all the women building something beautiful — in wellness and beyond. We’re with you, girl! 🤍

Mental Health Commission of Canada Commission de la santé mentale du Canada Opening Minds - Changer les mentalités

Stigma shows up everywhere, in quiet assumptions, side comments, missed chances to speak up. But it only sticks around if we keep feeding it.

Mental Health First Aid helps people across Canada cut off stigma’s supply line. Learn how to spot it. Talk about it. Disrupt it.

Mental health doesn’t wait, and neither do we. From Australia to 35 countries, over 8 million people have learned to act, listen, and support. It’s our turn to step in, step up, and make a difference. Are you in?

Get certified in MHFA. Let’s show up for each other. 🔗https://ow.ly/vvAE50WU6y2
