Sharing my mental health with others: creating a positive experience
Mental health is a vital part of wellbeing, yet changes in our mental wellbeing are to be expected during our life. These can be due to common developmental changes, life events, or significant and unexpected challenges and opportunities. A key skill to maintaining and improving mental wellbeing is the ability to seek support when experiencing stressors in life. This seminar seeks to empower participants to share their mental health with others by exploring situations when sharing with others can be beneficial, common characteristics we should look for when choosing someone to confide in, and practical strategies to consider when creating a plan for when, where, and how to share.

August 2025 TELUS Health
COMPLIMENTARY WEBINAR (Available on the TELUS Health One):
The modern workplace can be a chaotic environment that contributes to high levels of stress. When feeling overwhelmed, we tend to ruminate and go into “autopilot” mode. Over time, a mind-body disconnect occurs and our innate capacity for self-awareness, self-regulation and self-care decreases. Mindfulness training can bring about remarkable changes in the workplace, benefitting not only those who attend the training. It has a ripple effect that can extend to the entire organization.

July 2025 TELUS Health (Employee Assistance Program) Information
COMPLIMENTARY WEBINAR (Available on the TELUS Health One):
Our minds and bodies need rest and recovery breaks to allow us to relax and reduce the effects of stress. While everyone has days that are hectic and unfocused, consistently feeling stressed out, rushed, or on the go can have a detrimental impact on a person, increasing their risk of experiencing serious physical concern, such as heart disease or stroke. This seminar will show you how to make time to calm down and reduce stress, using both proactive and reactive relaxation techniques.
