In honour of our book drive happening now, we’re going to share some new book recommendations!

Let’s start with Adam Grant’s Think Again. It’s a great read to consider how we form opinions and take in information, and whether we are able to revise those opinions when we get new information or if we double down on our convictions. There is a great list of questions at the end to support us in developing the critical thinking skills needed to think again!

Check out Adam’s book here: https://adamgrant.net/book/think-again/

And consider dropping off some new or gently used books at our or any of the drop off stops for the Great Book Roundup

Whisk & Roll Bakery
The Happy Hippo Co.
Reel Treats Popcorn and Sweets

As we support reading programs at Children’s Aid Society of Oxford County, Oxford Earlyon, and Domestic Abuse Services Oxford

You may have noticed that we've been a little quiet over here at Journey Well! The last little bit has been difficult for our team for both personal and professional reasons, but we are getting our feet back under us! Our hope is to move forward with integrity and lots of respect, empathy, and grace. To that end we want to share some upcoming things to keep an eye out for:

The Great Book Roundup starts TOMORROW! Watch for details for book drop-offs and programs we are supporting!

Patti and Laura will be facilitating a Couples Workshop call Hold Me Tight. Looking for support for you and your partner, but maybe aren't feeling that couples therapy is right for you or just want something to deepen your relationship? Keep an eye out for details and registration!

Finally, March 2026 marks Journey Well's 5 year anniversary! We will be hosting an open house event on March 7 so save the date to come and visit us!

We look forward to connecting as the new year gets under way!

The holidays can bring all kinds of different things. If anxiety or stress are one of those things consider how you can manage those through self compassion, setting boundaries, and being clear on what you need to feel ok with the holidays!

Sometimes anxiety doesn’t disappear during the holidays. It just puts on lights and keeps buzzing anyway. If your brain feels a little tangled right now, you’re not alone. Go gently with yourself this season.

Despite the festivities and desire for them to go well and be all that we want (or we’re told they should be), the holidays can be stressful!

Sometimes the holidays don’t replace our anxiety… they just wrap it in twinkle lights.
If this season feels a little heavier, a little louder, or a little more tangled than usual, you’re not alone.
You’re doing your best, and that counts.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women marks the launch of the UN’s UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against Women and Girls campaign.

Globally, almost 1 in 3 women have experienced intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their lifetime, and our digital world provides new ways for this to happen.

Today, consider how you can support survivors, and those helping survivors like Domestic Abuse Services Oxford and Ingamo Homes, in our community.

This year on National Child Day, we’re reminded that all children deserve the opportunity to express themselves and take pride in who they are. These actions help our children to develop their identities and connect with others.

How are you celebrating the uniqueness of the children in your life today?

Grief touches all of us at some point, yet we rarely talk openly about it. That silence can make an already difficult experience feel even more isolating. If you’re looking for resources for yourself or a loved one that is experiencing grief, visit VON Sakura House Hospice, Compassionate Grief Support , or our blog on dealing with grief at https://bit.ly/43zk5nA .

In a time when we are flooded with information, it’s so important to check our sources and critically assess what we are taking in. Our friends at Oxford County Pride shared this series of questions we can use to do just that!
