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 a program for self-identifying women and non-binary folks who feel belonging in women’s spaces who see 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 9-week time period, we will incorporate social support, personal goal setting, psycho-education, and mindfulness activities. Each week, we will explore a different nature-based activity such as hiking, voyager canoeing, equine-assisted learning, yoga and more.

In addition, individual counselling sessions 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.
