Our Approach to Mental Wellness
What is Mental Wellness?
Mental Wellness is achieved by feeling balanced, connected with others, and ready to meet the challenges life brings our way! There are many interconnected factors that influence our mental wellness that are evidence-based, such as:
Social connectedness and interacting with others
Exercising regularly and staying active
Eating healthy, getting quality sleep
Expressing feelings and emotions effectively
Practicing mindfulness, positive self-talk, and learning to be present in the moment.
Learning coping strategies to manage & accept difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions when difficult situations arise.
We believe that developing mental wellness and maintaining our mental health requires learning the vital skills that our programs offer!
Raising Strong Minds
Proactivity vs Reactivity
Life is beautiful, but as we grow up, it is not always easy! Our programs aim to teach youth Social Emotional Learning Skills (SELs), mindfulness, self compassion and other vital skills to prepare them to face life and all it may bring their way. These skills help them develop resilience, strengthen their mental wellness and ultimately raise strong minds that are ready to take on the world!
Let’s be Pro-active not Re-Active!
Check out this analogy:
If you knew that one day your child was likely to be placed at the top of a dangerous mountain and tasked with skiing down, don’t you think they would have a greater chance of making it down safely if they already had the skills they needed and knew how to ski? If they attempted this mountain without prior training or experience, they would likely get hurt on their way down, it would take much longer, and they may even be left with injuries, permanent scars or never return form the mountain.
This mountain reflects the challenges our children may face in life. If we know life will have challenges, let’s be proactive and teach our kids the vital skills they need to be successful first! This way, if they find themselves at the top of a mountain one day, they will have the skills they need to navigate these challenges successfully!
