Healthy Living: Live a life that reflects who you are

Identity & Transition: Build a life beyond the uniform

You know how to be strong on the job.  You’re expert at helping others.  Now, it’s time to care for yourself.  

Many years of personal sacrifice take a toll.  Knowing who you are outside of work can become a challenge. Reclaim parts of yourself that may have been lost and discover what’s really important to you.

Open to veterans, military members and first responders who are currently working, transitioning to something new, are off work but plan to return, or who have retired. 

Upcoming groups 

Wednesday group: September 6, 13, 20, 27 & October 4

Friday group: September 8, 15, 22, 29 & October 6

Emotions Management: Stop faking good & start feeling good

Build confidence.  Reconnect with yourself.  Discover your true potential.

Break away from negative thinking patterns, understand how your emotions affect your behaviour, and learn how to gain control.  Develop healthy lifestyle habits and improve the relationships that are important to you.

This program will return again soon, please contact our office if you are interested in being notified once dates are set. 

Overcoming Trauma: Your past is not your future

This group helps to calm an overtaxed central nervous system.

Avoiding traumatic memories and situations that trigger PTSD symptoms prolongs injury and limits recovery from these experiences. Working together as a supportive group, we will reprocess traumatic events, allowing natural recovery to happen.

The peer support offered in this group approach is particularly helpful in addressing moral injuries.

Care for the Caregiver

A program for those in supporting roles 

Rediscover your strength with this workshop series.  Find out how you can use self-care practices to become more resilient as you support someone who has PTSD or other Operational Stress Injuries. Gain insight about how these injuries affect those we care about.  Learn how to communicate in a way that allows you to reconnect in a meaningful way.  This program is designed to provide support and community to partners, family members, and close friends of people who are recovering from traumatic exposure.
