Does it feel like you're floundering in a place you don't recognize? Do you feel alone? Are you dealing with issues that you never imagined you would be dealing with? Are you new to Canada or a newly posted military family member? Life often doesn't play out the way we expect and those whammies can throw us off course in a split second. Reaching out for support is the first step to getting back on track.

You are someone who is struggling to cope with life's stressors including relationship issues, difficulties in the workplace, recent or historical trauma, yours or a loved one's difficulties wth alcohol or substances.

You have an interest in building a stronger connection to how your body and mind signal to you that you are not coping well and learn to trust and respond to those messages in an effective way, reducing your symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety.
