Discover hope, belonging & connection

Get your day off to a good start by doing a few small things together online with like-minded people who could use a morning boost. We do some belly breathing, grounding, gratitude, and activity planning together every weekday morning. This week's learning emphasis is Eight Strategies to Help Manage Stress and Emotions.

Emotions affect us in many ways, including our mind, body, and behaviour. Sometimes we have a hard time recognizing or managing our emotions.  This 2-session course explores our relationship with emotions, as well as discussing and learning coping strategies, and understanding of our Zone of Tolerance.  We also look at how to expand our capacity to manage our emotions and strengthen healthy reactions to them.

Strong friendships give us the power to be our true selves; when we have strong friendships, we feel respected and valued and we work hard to find ways to show our friends that we respect and value them. Strong friendships take work! This course will help you learn about yourself, what you say, the way you act, and how all of your actions can affect relationships with others. Focusing on these aspects, helps us gain confidence in our relationships and we will be more likely to achieve our friendship goals.
