Managing Emotions

Date: Thursday May 2nd

Time: 10:00am – 11:30am

Location: Canadian Mental Health Association 103-1873 Main Street

Emotions are reactions to meaningful events and these changes occur in our thinking and our perceptions as well as in our physiology. All emotions provide us with information that primes our bodies to act in a certain way.

Unfortunately, understanding what our emotions are really communicating to us and then trying to manage our responses to them can be challenging.

This workshop aims to address this complex topic in a way that we can all relate to, by welcoming group discussion in a safe nonjudgmental environment while highlighting ways to better regulate our emotions.

Peer Support and Group Facilitation

Date: Monday June 10th

Time: 10:00am-12:00pm

Location: Canadian Mental Health Association Main Street 103-1873 Main Street

This workshop was created to support those who want to support others and aims to generate meaningful discussion on the most important points of peer support and group facilitation.

The session includes education on the importance of maintaining boundaries and awareness of our intentions for sharing personal experiences. There is also a focus on confidentiality and understanding its limitations as well as managing different behaviours that may occur in a group setting.

This workshop is for anyone whose passion is to help others including professionals, support workers, caregivers and individuals taking on a peer support role. The vision for this session is that both those with experience and those who are beginning their journey as helpers can come together to share ideas and support each other.
