Often, we are kinder toward others in our life than we are toward ourselves. Why focus on being more compassionate with yourself and living more in the present?
Self-compassion and mindfulness have been shown to increase well-being, resilience, and the ability to cope with stressful life experiences.
This 8-week support and psycho-education group is intended to give you practical tools to be more compassionate to yourself, increase self-acceptance, and build inner strength.

Children In Between is a program designed to teach parents and children the impact of children witnessing relationship conflicts between their parents.
The program will teach parents how to support and assist their children as they adapt to changing family relations, and help children learn how to articulate their needs and feelings to their parent(s).
The program also teaches the child ways to tell the parents that they are being put in-between, as well as to identify areas where this commonly occurs.
Research shows that over 60% of children who experience their parent’s separation or divorce have adjustment difficulties and may feel unhappy, angry, dissatisfied with life, depressed, and deeply lonely, but most of the damage is caused not by the divorce itself, but the on-going conflict between the parents.
The goal of this program is to empower parents and their children to adopt healthier communication and conflict resolution practices based on mutual respect and understanding. Please note there is a mandatory parent component preceding the children’s portion.

Independence is where we aim when we are ready to stop being dependent: and interdependence is where we go when we realize that independence doesn’t hold all the answers.
This group is a space where we do not judge each other or ourselves for where we have been or where we are; where we focus on what is working and making it stronger; where we celebrate successes and share skills and ideas for how to make it through to where we really want to be.
This is a place where dreams can be born and nurtured with love and tenderness. Where hearts learn how to safely share their hurts and struggles and how to receive support from peers. Where we practice valuing our selves with the compassion and esteem we lavish on others.
Together, we grow, and we make progress moving forward in the direction we want to go.
Meets weekly, an open group, that will begin this fall.
