Hey CCYYC community,
We’re excited to keep our new series, “Let’s Talk About…”, going! The series is all about sharing helpful information on mental health and starting more open conversations in our community. We hope you watch, comment, and share these videos to help spread awareness and support each other.
This week, we’re joined by Gemma Leonard, a registered psychologist, counsellor, and clinical lead from Kindred Connections Society. Gemma reminds us that it’s easy to get caught up in the negatives and lose perspective, even though reality is usually a lot more balanced. She encourages us to think back to times when we didn’t feel as stressed and to explore what was happening then, so we can better understand our emotions now. It might not solve everything, but it can give us a helpful and concrete step in the right direction.
This series is designed to give mental health professionals a platform to share the knowledge and insights they have gained throughout their careers with the public. The goal is to help everyone feel more informed, supported, and connected.
We at CCYYC are excited to bring you more content like this every Monday.
And as always, remember that you are not alone. Someone is here to talk whenever you are ready.
Have you used this approach in your own life? What are some other ways you manage your stress and well-being?
