Community Wellness Workshops
Introduction
I offer educational wellness workshops for community groups, healthcare settings, and organizations across Northern Ontario.
These sessions are practical, skill-based, and grounded in both nursing and psychotherapy practice. Each workshop is designed to provide clear information, usable tools, and space for respectful discussion.
Workshops are educational in nature and are not therapy sessions.
What to Expect
Workshops typically include:
• Clear education on the topic
• Practical strategies and skill-building
• Printable worksheets or handouts
• Guided discussion
• Space for questions
Sessions are designed to be accessible, grounded, and relevant to the community hosting them.
Workshop Topics
Current workshop offerings include:
• Healthy Seniors: Staying Safe, Steady & Supported
• Caregiver Burnout & Resilience
• Nervous System Regulation & Stress Management
• Healthy Workplaces & Burnout Prevention
• Understanding Trauma & Emotional Regulation
• Addictions & Community Support
Additional topics can be developed based on community needs.
