💭 Men’s Mental Health Matters

At Park Integrative Health, we believe men deserve a space to talk about what’s really going on, without judgment or expectation.

We’re now offering dedicated men’s mental health sessions with therapist Mac Fellows (MSW) and/or Registered Provisional Psychologist, Jacob Taylor. These sessions are designed to help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, or anything else that you may need to talk about.

🧠 67% of Canadian men have never sought mental health support, yet so many are carrying heavy stress and burnout. Seeking help isn’t weakness; it’s self-awareness and strength.

Just as you care for your physical health, your mental well-being deserves the same attention.

👉 Or contact our clinic to book a discovery call with Mac or Jacob.

Better late than never, right? And boy, are we glad we took the time to gather our community to celebrate. 🎉

Thank you to Mayor Rod Frank, all of our practitioners and team members, and, of course, our incredible community, who showed up to honour Synapse.

Fall 🍂 is upon us. For some, the changing of the seasons brings out an unwelcome visitor: allergies. 🤧

Seasonal allergies are allergic reactions to a trigger that is usually only present for a specific time of the year, like spring or fall. Commonly referred to as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies can occur due to pollen being spread by the wind. Those who are allergic to pollen may also find themselves sensitive to dust, mould, and even animal dander.

While there is no specific cure for seasonal allergies, there are over-the-counter medications that people use to combat uncomfortable symptoms. But did you know there is an effective, non-medical approach to helping reduce seasonal allergies?

Acupuncture.

The World Health Organization considers seasonal allergies, including asthma and sinusitis, as respiratory diseases that are effectively helped by acupuncture.

Studies show that Acupuncture helps calm the exaggerated response to allergens that are associated with spring allergies. Even during seasons when allergies are more manageable, Acupuncture can balance and strengthen the imbalances that may be contributing to your allergic reactions.

If this sounds like something you'd benefit from as we shift to the fall, book a session with a member of our talented acupuncture team through the link 🔗 below:

Whether you have specific concerns about your child’s learning or you’d like to better understand how you may support their educational journey, a psychoeducational assessment may be a great option for you.

Through a psychoeducational assessment, our Registered Psychologist helps you understand where your child is at and offers assistance beyond what teachers in a regular classroom can provide. They can also clarify a child’s strengths, diagnose learning or attention issues, and provide concrete recommendations for school and home.

We’re currently offering complimentary 30-minute consultations for psychoeducational assessments for parents (children will be included in follow-up appointments) with mental health team member and Registered Psychologist, Morganne Stubbs. Psychoeducational assessments are currently for children aged 6 to 16.

Please contact us to book a consultation at info@pihealth.ca or by calling 780-570-8480.
