Our lovely clinician, Nicole Wright has created a DBT skills group for young adults. This group will be held at Open Skies in the evenings from 6-7:30pm on the posted dates above!

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build healthier coping skills.

DBT focuses on four key skill areas:
✨ Mindfulness – Learning to stay present and aware in the moment.
 🧩 Distress Tolerance – Handling difficult situations without making them worse.
 💬 Interpersonal Effectiveness – Communicating needs clearly and maintaining healthy relationships.
 🌊 Emotion Regulation – Understanding and managing strong emotions.

DBT teaches practical, real-life tools to help people respond to challenges with greater balance, self-awareness, and resilience.

Many people find DBT helpful for anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and relationship struggles.

The cost is 300.00 and Nicole is willing to reduce cost based on individual needs. Contact openskiesnicole@gmail.com to reserve 1 of only 8 spaces available.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach that helps us recognize that two seemingly opposite things can both be true at the same time. Does that sound like something you and your youth may be navigating? You’re not alone.

I’d like to invite you to a four-week DBT skills group for approximately 10 families, designed to learn and practice the DBT model together. This group will support both caregivers and youth to better understand behaviors, build acceptance, and create meaningful change.

Group Details:
Duration: 4 weeks (attendance at all sessions is required)

Participants: Youth and an adult caregiver attend together

When: Tuesdays, starting February 27
March 3, 10, and 17

We will focus on the following DBT skills:
Distress Tolerance – learning how to navigate emotional pain
Emotional Regulation – recognizing, understanding, accepting, and managing emotional responses
Mindfulness – increasing awareness of thoughts and feelings
Interpersonal Effectiveness – communicating needs and boundaries effectively

Cost: $300
I never want cost to be a barrier to accessing support. Please contact me directly to discuss financial options.

-with warmth, Nicole Wright (RSW)

🌌 Land of the Living Skies. 🥹 🙏🏽

We drove outside the city tonight to watch the majestic sky dance and remind us that this universe we live in so very beautiful. I was so grateful and likely annoyed my family with 85 sky analogies to life/mental health.

Tonight, I’m reminded again of how colourful life is and if you’re reading this Mother Nature is speaking to us tonight- telling us to slow down and enjoy a playful dance or two ourselves. She reminds us to light up our own paths and make magical moves.

You may have seen today’s U.S. announcements about autism. We want to clear up a few points for families in Canada:
❌ Myth: Tylenol in pregnancy causes autism
✅ Fact: Research does not support this as a proven cause. Studies have shown only a correlation - NOT causation. Medical organizations in Canada do not recognize acetaminophen as a cause of autism.
❌ Myth: Leucovorin is a treatment for autism
✅ Fact: Leucovorin may support language development in a very small subgroup of children with a rare condition (cerebral folate deficiency). More research is needed to determine its safety and efficacy within the Canadian healthcare context. It is not a recognized or approved treatment for autism overall.
❌ Myth: Vaccines cause autism
✅ Fact: Extensive research has found no link between vaccines and autism. Vaccines are safe, effective, and critical for protecting children’s health.

In Canada, our health policies and medical guidance are based on the best available science. Autism is complex, and there is no single known cause or cure. What we do know is that early, individualized, evidence-based support makes the greatest difference in a child’s development. ♾️
If you have questions about autism services, assessments, or supports, please reach out. We’re here to help. 💙

☀️ 🌳 KOREMBI 🌳 ☀️ is a word I recently learned that comes from the Japanese language/culture. The word korembi (木漏れ日) is a compound of 木 (ko, “tree”) and 漏れ日 (morebi, “leaking sunlight” or “sunlight filtering through”).

One thing about me is that I always find ways to connect nature to themes of interconnectedness, hope, mindfulness, and the broader aspects of life. Nature has a way of symbolizing these deeper truths, making it a perfect reflection of the way we experience and grow through life’s ups and downs.

The light filtering through the trees is ever-present, always shifting, and shining in unique ways at different times. The sun doesn’t stay in one spot—it moves, illuminating parts of the forest that may have once been cloaked in shadow.

The dance between light and shadow reminds us that our journeys are full of ebbs and flows—never quite linear, but always evolving. At times, we may find ourselves lost in moments of doubt or uncertainty, yet these periods are integral to our growth. Just as a forest thrives with both light and shade, our challenges and triumphs work in tandem to build resilience and deepen our understanding. The light will always return, and it’s through the contrast with the shadows that we come to truly appreciate the clarity it brings.

Such a fun night with our good friends Tania & Mike at the Bring Em Up Gala! The Bring Em Up organization provides support for immigrant and refugee children, helping them integrate into sports!

The narrative shared by the presenters was really touching and really illustrated the unique challenges that our immigrant families can have when moving to a new place and how sports can be an integral part of belonging and mental wellness.

Happy Social Work week to all my friends, colleagues and peers! This year’s theme ‘social work is everywhere’ is certainly very true. Most social workers I know have chosen their profession as they are intrinsically drawn to social advocacy, justice, and the pursuit of uplifting humanity.

Social workers often have a personal identity that aligns with their professional identity with their values for connection, compassion, non-judgment, fairness, and empathy often being just “who they are.”

As a result, they are often practicing SOCIAL WORK EVERYWHERE. With the sociopolitical and economic climate shifting rapidly, I have observed social work transmitting through our communication and conversations all around us, everywhere.

We are providing education, seeing what we can do in our control to assist, and standing committed to our ideals and belief systems that fight for equality routinely. Seeing humans in their environments lends us the ability to treat them as such, and doesn’t end with just therapy but connecting them to resources and providing advocacy often.

To all my social workers out there, you do change the world. You are everywhere, always. Sending extra love to you this week.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I would like to flip the narrative from intimate love to human love for one another. As the world is increasingly feeling more divided and daily news sheds light on human pain, I wonder if love day could be a reminder that human-KIND (emphasis on kind) can find simple ways of uplifting one another, making each other feel like we belong to a community and sharing in togetherness. However, you do that, can be creative and unique. Maybe, you talk to someone who appears lonely. Maybe you reach out to a friend you’ve missed. Maybe, you volunteer or engage in advocacy. Love day ought to be a reminder of spreading love daily. Trust me, those small moves, can create a lot of change for someone.

Sending togetherness and love to you and yours from Open Skies. ❤️
