Are you a woman seeking self-discovery? Are you searching for ways to build hope, belonging and connection? Introducing CMHA Recovery College Camrose’s Monthly Women’s Self-Discovery Circle! Join us as we gather together in a safe and supportive environment to explore various topics and practices aimed at enriching one’s sense of inner balance and well-being. In each session, we will have engaging conversations and activities focusing on mindfulness, self-care techniques and coping strategies that can support you through life’s ups and downs.

CMHA in Alberta, in partnership with the Government of Alberta, Ministry of Children’s Services, has developed a peer-to-peer family support program. Caregiver Connections provides peer support for parents and caregivers of individuals with mental health concerns. With the support of trained peers with lived experience, parents and caregivers will learn how to best take care of themselves, ask for help when necessary and learn about the importance of boundaries. It is a safe place to gather together for shared stories, education, resources and support.

Are you looking for a way to help process your thoughts, manifest your goals or just get some stress relief? Journaling can reduce stress, anxiety and depression, improve sleep and bring us a greater sense of focus and clarity. Writing is even shown to help us heal from trauma. Bring your own journal and join us for this facilitated journaling circle where we will write, create and learn about ourselves. (If you do not have a journal, we are happy to provide one for you!) No journaling experience necessary, but writers of all varieties are more than welcome. This space is focused on mutual support, personal empowerment, validation and self-awareness.  Sharing is entirely optional. Explore different journaling prompts & creative exercises aimed towards wellness & self-discovery.
