Workshop List

  • The phrase “trauma-informed” gets used a lot—but do you truly understand what it means, and how it can transform the way you support your loved ones?

    Join us for an empowering, eye-opening workshop designed specifically for caregivers and family members. You’ll gain practical tools and compassionate insight to help you show up with greater empathy, awareness, and emotional intelligence.

    Whether you're supporting a child, partner, parent, or friend—this workshop will help you deepen trust, reduce conflict, and create safe, healing-centered relationships.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • What it really means to be trauma-informed

    • How trauma impacts behavior, emotions, and communication

    • Simple, actionable strategies to bring more patience, clarity, and compassion into your daily interactions

  • Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone’s emotional or mental state was putting them or others at risk? It can be overwhelming and frightening—especially when you're unsure of how to help. In this workshop, we’ll explore what a mental health crisis looks like, how it evolves, and most importantly, how to safely intervene. You’ll gain practical techniques to support those in crisis and make sure everyone stays safe

  • Being an informed advocate is key to ensuring you or your loved one receive the care you deserve. Understanding patient rights, speaking up, and navigating the mental healthcare system can make all the difference in achieving better health outcomes. In this session, you’ll learn how to confidently advocate for yourself or your loved ones, ensuring voices are heard and appropriate care is delivered

  • Mental illness is often misunderstood, and the stigma that follows can be just as damaging as the illness itself. In this workshop, we’ll open up honest, respectful dialogue around mental health stigma—what it looks like, how it affects real lives, and what we can do to break it down. Whether you're a professional, a caregiver, or someone who simply wants to understand more, this is a space for awareness, empathy, and change.

  • Trauma is more than just a moment—it’s a lasting emotional response to deeply distressing events. It can reshape how we connect, cope, and move through the world. In this session, we’ll explore the ways trauma shows up in people’s lives, how it affects relationships and daily functioning, and how we can compassionately support those experiencing traumatic grief.

  • Living with mental illness can be a heavy burden, not only for those affected but also for their loved ones. In this workshop, we’ll redefine what resilience truly means and explore practical coping skills that can help you navigate the many stages of the mental health journey. Whether you’re living with mental illness or supporting someone who is, you’ll leave with valuable tools to foster strength, understanding, and progress.

  • Carrying grief and guilt can feel like an overwhelming, unnecessary weight. Guilt can fuel distress, while grief can be a heavy burden to bear. In this workshop, we’ll explore the complexities of grief, including ambiguous loss, and how guilt can lead to shame and low self-esteem. More importantly, we’ll focus on how to move toward healing and personal growth, offering practical steps for beginning your journey to emotional well-being

  • Do you struggle to say no? Find yourself putting others’ needs before your own, to the point of stress or illness? Feel responsible for others' emotions or guilty for taking care of yourself? If you're experiencing compassion fatigue or burnout, it's time to establish boundaries. In this workshop, we’ll dive into the importance of emotional boundaries, learn how to set them, and explore self-care techniques to protect your well-being.

  • Personal growth isn’t automatic—it’s intentional. Many want to grow, but few know where to begin. That’s where we come in.

    This transformative workshop is designed to guide you through the journey of self-awareness with compassion and clarity. You’ll learn practical steps to evaluate where you are, envision who you want to become, and build the character to sustain lasting growth.

  • Are your thoughts running wild?

     Do you find yourself stuck in negative thinking, paralyzed by fear, or spiraling into overthinking?

    You’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck.

    In this powerful workshop, we’ll uncover common thinking traps that fuel anxiety and self-doubt — and more importantly, you’ll learn practical tools to challenge and reframe them. Walk away with mental clarity, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of control.

    It’s time to take your mind back.
