The holidays can be meaningful, and overwhelming, all at once...

Between packed schedules, family dynamics, and the pressure to make everything feel “just right,” it’s easy to lose touch with yourself. Mindfulness isn’t about doing more, it’s about gently coming back to the present moment, again and again.

As you move through this season, consider:
• Slowing down and checking in with your body
• Setting gentle, compassionate boundaries
• Letting go of perfection and choosing what truly matters
• Allowing ease where you can

Presence matters more than perfection.

If this season is feeling heavy, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Support is available, and small moments of care can make a meaningful difference.

To Our Fellow Bereaved Parents,

✨ This evening, we gather for the Worldwide Candle Lighting Celebration — a sacred tradition created by The Compassionate Friends to honor children who have died ✨

At 7:00 p.m. local time, candles will be lit across the globe in a continuous wave of light, as parents, siblings, grandparents, and loved ones come together in remembrance. Each flame is a tribute — to a life cherished, a bond unbroken, and a love that endures beyond time.

As you light your candle, may you feel the presence of this global community holding space with you — in grief, in memory, and in love. 💙

With love, light, and gentle solidarity, 💙✨

💙 Honouring Everest Through Story

We’re honoured to share My Brother is Still With Me, a meaningful children’s book created by Nicole Ripley, founder of OK Clinical Therapy Group and the Everest Legacy Fund, and loving mother to Everest Conboy.

This story was written in tribute to Everest, a joyful, curious, and compassionate boy whose light continues to guide the work we do at OK Clinical. His spirit lives on in every family supported through the Everest Legacy Fund, and in every effort to help children navigate grief with gentleness, connection, and hope.

One of our managers, Nathan Hayward, had the privilege of supporting this project through illustration coordination and production, contributing to a book deeply connected to Everest’s memory and Nicole’s vision.

✨ Purchase the book on Amazon here or by searching 'My Brother is Still With Me': https://a.co/d/0qNb6Nq

All proceeds support the Everest Legacy Fund, helping provide grief resources and accessible counselling for children across the Kootenays.

Thank you for helping us honour Everest’s legacy. 💙

Let's Talk About Mental Health in the Workplace.

The workplace can be a major source of both purpose and pressure, and sometimes, the signs of stress or burnout sneak up on us.

So what stress and burnout can look like? How can you recognize them early? Here are some simple steps that can make a meaningful difference in your daily well-being.

✨ Stress becomes a problem when it’s constant.
✨ Burnout often shows up gradually — through exhaustion, detachment, or drops in performance.
✨ Small changes, healthy boundaries, and supportive conversations can help.

If you notice these signs in yourself, a coworker, or a friend, you’re not alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not failure.

At OK Clinical, our team is here to help you navigate workplace stress and build healthier rhythms, both in and outside the office.

If you’re needing support or want to learn more about counselling options, you can connect with us anytime at info@okclinical.com or calling us at 250-718-9291

🌟 Today is 🦋

Did you know that 1 in 14 children will experience the death of a parent or sibling before turning 18? Grief can be overwhelming and isolating, yet children’s needs are often overlooked.

This day reminds us to recognize and support grieving children, highlighting an important truth: Children. Do. Grieve.

Join us in raising awareness and wearing blue today to show support for grieving children everywhere. Together, we can foster understanding, compassion, and community for those navigating loss.

We’re now halfway through Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and the conversation is just as important!

Men often carry stress, worry, and responsibility quietly. Reaching out for support isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a step toward feeling grounded, connected, and understood.

At OK Clinical, our team is here to listen, support, and help you navigate whatever you’re carrying.

You don’t have to do it alone.
