MENTAL WELLNESS FOR ALL

Strive to Thrive is a FREE 5-week interactive program where participants explore their wellness symptoms and improve their mental health by developing skills, knowledge and practices to empower them to THRIVE!

Who would benefit?

Anyone 18 years of age or older, who is looking to make a change to improve their mental wellbeing. This is NOT an individual therapy program, but rather a group that gathers weekly to learn more about mental wellbeing and learn new tools and resources for their toolbox, that will help them to THRIVE in life.

Is there a cost?

There is no cost to attend the 5 week program. Each participant will receive a Participant Manual with valuable information from the program that is theirs to keep.

How long is the program?

The STT program is 5 weeks in length, 1 ½ hrs per class. Sessions are held once per week for 5 weeks consecutively.

How is the program delivered?

The program is delivered both in person and virtually via MS Teams.

Do I have to come each week?

Yes, to get the most out of the program, participants should attend each session. Each session builds upon the next, so upon registration, the commitment is for the full 5 weeks. Upon completion of the 5 weeks, a Certificate of Completion will be issued to the participant.

What can I expect at a session?

Class 1 (Intro)
We will explore the difference between mental distress, mental disorder and mental health problem. Participants will learn how physical and mental stress are related and how we can reduce the stigma around mental health.

Class 2 (Thriving)
This session focuses on identifying “thriving vs surviving” and the challenges that we face that make this difficult sometimes. We look at daily practices that can help us to thrive and we complete activities to reinforce this concept. We introduce the idea of daily practices and the importance of incorporating these into our daily lives.

Class 3 (Transitions)
This session focuses on change and our reactions during these times. This is particularly useful as it encompasses all transitions that can occur at any stage or age. (ex. Graduation, retirement, divorce, having children, etc.). We explore how our thoughts contribute to our feelings about these changes.

Class 4 (Resilience)
This session has participants discuss what resilience is in response to stress. Our discussions are around what resilience entails and focuses on the things in our lives we can vs cannot control. This section also focuses on helping participants identify short term vs long term coping and helpful vs unhelpful strategies.

Class 5 (Building Connections)
This section focuses on connections and exploring the different types of support in our lives. We have participants discuss the benefits of support; how a wide variety of supports assist us and whom we feel we can share our stressors and joys with .
