We, at Nova are here to create a safe space wherever you are in your journey.
Please reach out, remembering you’re not alone.
Mental health concerns don’t look the same for everyone ♥️

Ever notice mental health awareness and discussions come up AFTER a death by su***de, a crisis situation or someone famous talking about it ?

In order to take care of our physical health we are constantly reminded to be aware of certain signs and symptoms. Schedule check-ups, know the indicators etc.

If we really want to “change the conversation” and “end the stigma” we need to work on prevention and making services accessible

Simply put; mental health, is health. Let’s start treating it the same as the rest of our health.

During the holiday season it is OK to experience a mix of emotions. Through the hustle and bustle please remember the greatest gift is kindness 🤍❄️

If you find yourself struggling, please know you are not alone. We wanted to take a minute to share some quick tips (below in the photos) that may be helpful for the holidays.

Determine your support network- personal or professional connections - those that can assist you through the challenges and experience the joy with you this season ❤️

There is SO much power in gratitude. Focusing on what we are thankful for and identifying and reflecting on what we DO have in our lives, boosts positive thoughts and improves mood.
However, the trend of “attitude of gratitude” can also be misleading. We can be thankful and still be struggling - it’s important not to confuse the two.
Being grateful people doesn’t always equate healthy people; it’s simply one piece of the puzzle and it is still necessary to incorporate other methods of healing ❤️‍🩹
✨ NOVA Counselling + Wellness Services is currently accepting new clients✨

Summer is here (questionable in NL) and for so many it’s been a long awaited period; as we ease back into a somewhat “normal” life.

Isolation can be hard. Being unable to travel can be hard. Not having the ability to engage in your typical activities can be hard.
But, for many of us CHANGE Is hard - even positive change. Maybe you’re not feeling the happy, anticipatory feelings that others are.

That is OK … we are here to discuss and help overcome challenges as we prepare for the new road ahead

As individuals we often try to connect ourselves to another persons experience. However, our experiences with trauma , grief/loss and mental health concerns are very individualized. Well intentioned statements that start with “ ya but, stay strong, at least etc” can be very isolating to people who are struggling.

Speaking to a non judgmental, trained mental health practitioner is an important first step to healing. Your experience = your feelings.

Many people have voiced their feelings since Friday’s news. Another two weeks in Level 5...are we ever going to get out of this? How can I survive another lockdown? I need to see my family. I feel so alone.
Right now, we’ve been told that PHYSICAL isolation is necessary to maintain physical wellness
But MENTAL isolation does the opposite; holding in your feelings, otherwise known as “bottling things up” can wreak havoc on your physical and emotional well-being. This, in turn impacts your overall wellness and your actions; how you perform at work, interact with others, the list goes on.
We get it! And we are here.
We’ve established a platform where we can connect even while physically distancing.

Reach out today, you’re not alone. ♥️

Isolation fatigue; loss of connection; monotony; uncertainty; fear; hopelessness...these are some of the many terms we hear as we move into the second week of Lockdown 2.0 in our province.
These feelings are often amplified for those experiencing already existing mental health issues...We’ve been asked to adapt literally all areas of life.
We get it! This is HARD. But we are in it together and we’ve adapted too. We are happy to offer virtual sessions; we may need to PHYSICALLY isolate but you do not have to be alone, connect and reach out ♥️

Did you know you don’t have to live in St.John’s and surrounding areas to meet with our counsellors ?

We are still offering virtual sessions - which means we can meet with individuals all over Newfoundland and Labrador. Don’t let your location be a barrier to seeking help. E Mail us at : novawellnessnl@gmail.com and inquire about our virtual services.

💫Accepting new clients💫
It’s but at NOVA we believe everyday’s message should be “let’s talk”. After the year gone by, there are new and different kinds of challenges to face; frankly, we live in a different world. We are here to help. Most, if not all the people around you are struggling in some form; mental health support looks different for everyone-some people have a diagnosis, some don’t; and that is okay!
Talking helps, sharing helps, support helps. And we are here; we are in this together. Reach out to us if you or someone you know needs to talk ♥️

🍂🍁Fall is in the air; it’s a season of new beginnings and a season of hope for many. But it’s also a time many find challenging; facing new changes, new life chapters, the unexpected, navigating this new “Covid world” and the anticipation and worry of a potential second wave and the economic impacts... you are not alone and we are here to help.
