Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly stressed? Are you struggling with achiness, weight gain, acne or irritated skin, sleep issues, low energy, anxiety, or depression? Are you finding it hard to concentrate, or to remember things - or to be as creative as you would like?

These could all be signs that you are producing too much (or too little) cortisol - one our main stress hormones. High cortisol especially can affect your physical health - your mental focus, memory and motivation - and your emotional well-being/regulation.

Join us via Zoom on April 28th – 6:00pm to 8:30pm (MST) – for a FREE Workshop focusing on "How To Manage Cortisol Levels Naturally".

In this Workshop, you will learn:

*How to recognize the warnings signs, when you are producing too much/little cortisol;
* How to dump excess cortisol from your system, when it is being overproduced (to lessen the problem side effects);
*Natural strategies for enhancing the production of other chemicals in your system, to keep your cortisol in proper balance.

This FREE Workshop is being facilitated by Kim Silverthorn, BA, MPCC, CT of Tacit Knowledge - in partnership with Beaumont FCSS. *Everyone is welcome - you do NOT need to be a Beaumont resident to participate.

Please contact Beaumont FCSS at 780-929-1006 or fcss@beaumont.ab.ca to register and to access the Zoom link.

Anxiety often grows in the space between “what if” and “I don’t know.” When uncertainty feels unbearable, the mind tries to predict, control, and prepare for every possible outcome.

But peace doesn’t come from having all the answers — it comes from learning that we can handle not knowing. 🌫️✨

The process of navigating our grief can feel impossible. The loss we feel whenever we experience the unwanted ending of a relationship/connection that mattered greatly to us (through death, divorce, job loss, a move, or a shift in our core identify, for example) can be imposing, intense and overwhelming. We sometimes feel stuck – like we are drowning in the pain and anger and depression and helplessness that we are feeling. But, there is hope.

We invite you to join us for "Grief, Loss and Healing" - a FREE 5 session Mental Wellness Support Group Program. This Program is being offered by Tacit Knowledge, in partnership with Beaumont FCSS.

This program will help participants learn how to manage and cope with feelings of grief and loss, so the healing process can begin. Participants will also understand the normalcy of what they are experiencing (and to assess if their own grief might be developing into a bigger issue, which could require more help).

This Program will be offered online/via Zoom, Monday evenings, from April 6th to May 4th, inclusive - from 6:30pm to about 7:45pm MST, each night. (The first session DOES happen on Easter Monday.)

*Everyone is welcome - you do NOT have to be a resident of Beaumont to participate.

*Participants can attend all or some of the sessions, as they are able (you do NOT have to attend every evening to get something helpful out of the Program).

For more information or to register for this Program, please contact Beaumont FCSS (780-929-1006) or email fcss@beaumont.ab.ca.

You might be surprised to realize that your environment, the people you surround yourself with, the habits you develop, and how you speak to yourself — these things all shape your mental wellbeing.

Are you making choices that nurture you? ✨If not, it might be time to make some changes!

Today’s teens are facing unprecedented levels of stress - from academic pressure and social media to uncertainty about their futures. And many parents feel unsure how to help without overstepping or unintentionally increasing the anxiety their child is facing.

Resilience isn’t something teens automatically develop. It’s a skill that grows through supportive relationships, guidance, role-modelling and practice.

Join us for this FREE Raising Resilient Teens Workshop – via Zoom – on March 17th – 6:00pm to 8:00pm (MST). The workshop will offer parents clear, research-informed tools to help teens navigate setbacks more effectively and build the lifelong skills needed for success and healthy mental wellbeing (by strengthening coping abilities, emotional regulation, and confidence).

This Workshop is available to EVERYONE – you do NOT need to be a Beaumont resident to participate.

Please contact Beaumont FCSS at 780-929-1006 or fcss@beaumont.ab.ca to register and to access the FREE Zoom link.

Being emotionally reactive is not random — and it’s not weakness.

Emotional reactivity can come from stress, burnout, lack of sleep, grief, hormonal shifts, trauma history, chronic pain, loneliness, unmet needs, nervous system overload, or simply carrying too much for too long.

Sometimes it’s not that you’re “too sensitive.” It’s that your system is overwhelmed.

Understanding the "why" is the first step toward changing the reaction into a healthier response (and truly being able to get your needs met). 💛

We know that it can be challenge to find affordable mental health supports that are offered by experienced, well-trained therapists (not just from students/interns). So Tacit Knowledge has partnered with TWO different organizations, to help our clients access the sessions that they need, without the financial barriers. There are NO waiting lists for our Subsidy clients.

The Lionheart Foundation provides subsidized mental health support (both counselling and Neurofeedback sessions are available) for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-25) in Edmonton and the surrounding communities (Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, Sherwood Park, Fort Sask, St Albert, etc) who are facing anxiety-based challenges (including low esteem, OCD, panic attacks, self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and depression). The number of sessions is dependent upon each client’s needs (and is NOT capped at the same amount for everyone). To apply go to https://lionheartfoundation.ca/edmonton/ (and let them know you would like to see someone at Tacit).

Beaumont FCSS provide access to Neurofeedback sessions to people who reside in Beaumont – this is an income-based support program. Clients can apply over the phone (at 780-929-1006) – approval is immediate. Participants will be approved for 10 Neurofeedback sessions (plus the Intake and Evaluation sessions).

If you have any questions about these Subsidy Programs, or about Tacit's Counselling and Neurofeedback Services, please feel free to reach out to our team anytime (counsellors@tacitknows.com). If we are not the right fit for your needs, we would be happy to help you connect to other options that could be!

Need a little cheat sheet for the type of Magnesium that has been shown to help improve the quality of your sleep?

Remember to take your Magnesium about 1.5-2 hours before bedtime, to allow your body time to digest and convert the supplement into it's working properties. And always check with a pharmacist or a doctor, before starting any supplements that might counteract with other medications that you take (or allergies that you might have).

A good night’s sleep is an essential foundation for a productive and successful day. Sleep is the building block upon which we can create healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. But truly restful and energizing sleep can be an elusive thing.

If you work in the hospitality industry (in any position), please join Tacit Knowledge for Dear Brain: I NEED Sleep! This is a FREE Online Mental Wellness Workshop – being offered on Tuesday, February 10th, at 7:00pm. The session runs for 1 hour. Participants will learn ways to address common sleep disturbance issues and create an atmosphere for deep, healing slumber, so they can wake up refreshed and ready to face whatever their day may bring.

This Workshop will NOT be recorded – it is a live-only event.

This Mental Wellness session is being offered in partnership with the In The Weeds YEG Program – which is a program that is committed to nurturing mental wellness and restoring humanity in Edmonton’s hospitality community.

This Workshop is available to everyone who works in the hospitality industry, in the greater Edmonton and outlying areas. To register for this FREE session: please go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dear-brain-i-need-sleep-how-to-get-good-quality-sleep-tickets-1980221007339?aff=oddtdtcreator

So many of us try to process our feelings by "thinking" our way thru them. We try to understand them - or explain them away - or problem solve the situation that caused them. We use the cognitive part of our brain to cope with our feelings because this sometimes gives us a sense of control over the situation.

But truthfully, this jump to the thinking part of our brain just ends up with us avoiding the feelings and stuffing them into our emotional baggage box. And unfortunately, all of those feelings will resurface again, at another time - usually when we least expect it (often as an "over-reaction" to something else that is going on)!

In order to manage our emotions in a healthy way, we have to allow ourselves to "feel" the feelings. This means we have to connect to the emotions that have been created by embracing the discomfort and then releasing it (physically and emotionally). Processing our emotions means we are willing to recognize what we are feeling, and then allow those emotions the time and space to be experienced and then set free.

For more information about managing emotions in healthy ways, please feel free to reach out to our team at any time! We offer a wide variety of services (Counselling, Neurofeedback Training, Workshops, Support Groups, etc) that can help! www.tacitknows.com
