Happy Monday, all! Today’s post is just a quick one about understanding emotions and some reminders we all need to hear every now and then about taking a non-judgmental stance when it comes to how we experience various emotions! And remember, therapy is a great tool for exploring, understanding and expressing emotions in ways that align with your values so check out our website for more info on our practitioners and reach out today for a FREE 15-minute consult or to book your first session.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, which is also referred to as Orange Shirt Day. We wanted to take some time to chat about the history of residential schools, how this commemorative day came to be, and some facts and stats about historical and current realities that our Indigenous people face.

We continue to have a lot of work to do to show true allyship to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples as they work towards sovereignty, the healing of ancestral trauma, their fight to protect land, language and culture, and the realities of living in a country that utilizes genocidal tactics as a form of continued colonization and assimilation. It is integral that non-Indigenous people do the labour necessary to remain educated and informed about both the past and present atrocities Indigenous peoples face in this country.

Every Child Matters🧡.

The tech world has always been a fast-paced industry that requires constant innovation, and a lot of tech jobs are done remotely leaving many tech professionals in isolation while they work. According to OSMI data collection surveys, which are international, about 50% of tech professionals are diagnosed with a mental health condition, about 70% recognize the impact mental health struggles have on their productivity at work, and about 50% report feeling burnt out.

Here at Will Therapy Services we offer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training which is a certificate program created by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Our MHFA workplace training looks to build confidence in employees to recognize the signs of mental health issues, provide initial support to someone experiencing a mental health crisis, ways to guide that person toward community supports, and the importance of self-care!

Did you know that Will Therapy Services offers Workplace Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training? Well, we do! Many of us spend quite a bit of time at work and although we are not all mentally ill, we all have mental health in the same way that we all have physical health. We often are not sure how or lack the confidence to respond to a co-worker who is struggling which means many of us avoid even trying. With Will Therapy Services MHFA Workplace Training you and your colleagues will get the chance to learn more about mental health in general and ways to help someone through the crisis moment until they are able to access more formal supports. MHFA Workplace Training will give you the tools to not only help others, but also to better understand and even help yourself, and in turn reduce the societal stigma that is too often a barrier to asking for or offering help! Check out our website - https://www.willtherapyservices.com - for more information on MHFA and how to contact us with interest or any questions!
