It’s easy to reach for a drink when life feels like too much.

A few glasses of wine to relax or maybe a little nightcap to help you sleep. You're just taking the edge off. No big deal....

But when self-medicating becomes your go-to way of coping, it’s often a sign that something deeper needs attention.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we work with people who use alcohol to manage stress, anxiety, trauma, or emotional pain and help them explore what’s really going on underneath.

Through trauma therapy, CBT, and holistic support, we help our clients find real ways to cope, regulate, and heal.

You don’t have to rely on alcohol to get through the day. There are better tools and we can show you how to use them.

It’s Movember! The perfect time to check in with the men in our lives.

Behind the smiles, many men are struggling silently with stress, addiction, or the pressure to “keep it together.”

Let’s remind them that reaching out for help isn’t a weakness; it’s a sign of courage.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we support men through therapy that helps unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, or substance use, you don’t have to go through this alone.

Do you suppress your feelings?

You don’t have to pretend everything is fine.

Healing is about creating space to feel what you’ve been holding in and learning how to release it.

Whether it’s trauma, addiction, grief, or emotional overload, you don’t have to carry it alone.

With the right support, release becomes relief.
And from there, real healing begins.

Stress isn’t always obvious.

If you’re repeatedly reaching for a drink to unwind or zoning out for hours on your phone, that’s not healthy stress relief. And it won’t help you manage stress in the long run.

These ways of coping can easily turn into self-medicating — whether it’s alcohol, cannabis, prescription meds, or other substances that offer short-term comfort but long-term consequences.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we help clients explore the root cause of their substance use and build healthier ways to cope with life’s pressures — not just for International Stress Awareness Week, but every single day.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse.
We’ll help you learn how to manage stress before it manages you.

What is CBT?

Are you spiraling with ruminating thoughts? Stuck in an anxious loop and wishing you could change? Do you want to understand how those thoughts influence your emotions and actions?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and evidence-based tools available to help you regain clarity and a sense of control.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we use CBT to help clients overcome mental health and addiction challenges by changing old patterns and building healthier coping skills.

CBT gives you the tools to help with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and more. Combined with trauma therapy, mindfulness and other holisitic therapies, clients using CBT quickly feel more in control of how they respond to stress and triggers.

When you understand your thoughts, you can change your life.

Curious whether CBT is a good fit for you? Let's talk about it!

What does food have to do with recovery?

More than you think!

Addiction doesn’t just impact your mind — it depletes your body, disrupts sleep, messes with mood, and weakens the immune system. That’s why nutrition matters.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we treat food as part of the healing process with healthy, nourishing meals that rebuild energy, balance blood sugar, and support emotional regulation.

🧠 Proper nutrition helps the brain recover.
💤 It supports better sleep.
❤️ It’s one of the simplest ways to show yourself care and commitment.

And it works. Studies show that people who improve their diet in early recovery are more likely to stay sober over time.

Our latest blog has everything you need to know: https://cfhh.ca/blog/role-of-nutrition-in-recovery-how-it-speeds-up-healing/

If you’re in recovery and your body still feels “off,” nutrition might be the missing piece!

Have you relapsed? Is shame holding you back?
Shame is not a recovery strategy.

Recovery is a lengthy process, and it's rarely laid out in a neat, straight line. Shame over a relapse only deepens the cycle.

While relapse feels like a setback, it can also be a powerful moment of clarity, giving you a chance to regroup, recommit, and get real about what you need right now.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we support clients who have relapsed and are ready to try again. Our team offers compassionate, non-judgemental care to help you rebuild your recovery — stronger this time, with more experience.

You're not alone, and you're not a failure.

🧭 Inpatient vs. Outpatient Rehab: What’s Right for You?

You finally make the call.

Your voice shakes. You say the words:
"I think I need help."

And then comes the response you didn’t expect — you have options.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we know that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people need full-time care in a peaceful, structured environment.

Others thrive with the flexibility of staying at home while attending therapy.

So how do you know which path is right for you?

In our latest blog, we break down:
✅ The key differences between inpatient and outpatient rehab
✅ Who each approach works best for
✅ How to make an informed choice based on your life, your needs, and your readiness

Whether you’re looking for a full reset or a more flexible option, the most important step is this: starting somewhere.

💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

When disaster strikes — whether it’s a conflict, a pandemic, a wildfire or a personal crisis — mental health often becomes the silent casualty.

Fear, grief, and trauma don’t disappear when the emergency ends.

That’s why access to mental health care during and after crises should be an essential service.

At Centres for Health and Healing, we support clients impacted by large-scale emergencies and personal upheaval, as well as those navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, and burnout.

On World Mental Health Day, we're committed to:
🌍 Expanding access to care in crisis
🌍 Prioritizing trauma support
🌍 Treating mental health as a fundamental right, not a luxury

Let’s build systems that care.
