Waves of Change

Do you experience anxiety or worry? Is stress getting in the way of your daily life and goals? Do you feel like you are the only one suffering? You are not alone.

Waves of Change is aimed toward women* 19+ who identify anxiety as a barrier in their lives and are looking to develop resources and coping strategies to help them manage anxiety and stress. This program fosters positive mental health through a group counselling program based in the outdoors. It takes a holistic health perspective and builds resiliency and skills which can hopefully be integrated into the women’s lives moving forward.

Spanning over a 5-month time period, we will incorporate social support, personal goal setting, psycho-education, and mindfulness activities through bi-weekly group meetings (2 times per month) as well as a 2- day wilderness therapy adventure at the end of May. Each month, we will explore a different nature-based activity such as hiking, voyager canoeing, Equine-Assisted learning, Yoga and more.

In addition, one monthly individual counselling session will be available to each participant to help transfer learning from group process to each individual’s personal context and needs.

Unfortunately, there is no transportation available. Participants must find their own way to program locations. Criteria for the program are that you must be over 19 years of age, female-identified, and physically able to hike and play in nature.

*WOC is also open to non-binary identifying people. We strive to make our programs accessible, safe and welcoming for all people regardless of gender expression, sexual orientation, race, etc. Please reach out if you have questions or ways we can better support you.
