Today is World Kindness Day 2025!

In a world that often feels fast-paced and disconnected, today invites us to pause and be intentional with kindness. It doesn’t take much to make a difference—send a quick message to check in on a friend, buy a coffee for someone behind you in line, hold the door a few extra seconds, or simply offer a genuine smile.

Small gestures, when done with love, have the power to lift spirits and spark connection. They remind us that kindness is universal—it’s something we all have the ability to give and receive.

So today, let’s choose to slow down, notice the people around us, and create a ripple of good that stretches far beyond ourselves. l act at a time, we can make 2025 a little brighter, a little softer, and a lot more kind.

Remembering the Brave – November 11

This Remembrance Day, we honour the men and women who stood courageously in the face of danger, who protected our freedom, and who gave so much so we could live in peace. Their sacrifices are the foundation of our nation, and their legacy calls us to remember, reflect, and act with gratitude every day.

The poppy is more than a symbol—it is a promise to never forget. On this day, we pause in silence, we reflect on the stories of courage and resilience, and we give thanks for the freedoms we often take for granted.

At Shalom Counselling Centre, we join our community in remembering the fallen and supporting those who continue to serve. In honour of this day, our office will be closed and will reopen on Tuesday, November 12, during regular hours.

Let us carry forward their legacy by living with compassion, courage, and respect for one another.

In Alberta, November is Family Violence Prevention Month.

This is a time to reflect on the relationships that shape our lives and to shine a light on an often-hidden issue. Family violence affects individuals, families, and communities, and fostering understanding, support, and awareness is crucial to breaking cycles of fear and isolation.

Awareness is a powerful tool. By opening conversations about family violence, we dismantle the barriers of silence, encourage others to share their experiences, and empower those in need to seek help. Every voice matters, and every story has the power to inspire change. Together, we can create communities where compassion thrives and where everyone feels safe to express their struggles.

At Shalom Counselling Centre, our team of experienced counsellors are here to listen, guide, and support you. We provide a safe space for anyone affected by family violence, offering understanding, practical guidance, and care. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or supporting a loved one, our doors are open to help you navigate these challenging moments with strength and hope.

This month also calls us to focus on building healthier relationships within our communities—relationships grounded in kindness, respect, and open communication. By modeling these principles, we create spaces where conflict can be addressed constructively, voices are heard, and everyone feels valued. Each small action contributes to a culture of safety, respect, and connection.

This November—and every month that follows—let us commit to standing together, raising our voices for those in need, and working toward a future where family violence is not tolerated. Together, we can make a difference—one conversation, one connection, one act of compassion at a time.

Movember is an annual event involving growing of moustaches during the month of November - it is more than a month of growing moustaches—it’s a movement to raise awareness for men’s health, both mental and physical. It’s a reminder to check in on ourselves and the men around us—our fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, grandfathers, and friends. Together, we can start meaningful conversations and support one another through life’s challenges.

At Shalom Counselling Centre, we believe in creating spaces where hope grows and healing begins. Our team of counsellors are here to listen, guide, and walk alongside the men in our community—offering a safe and supportive environment to talk about the things that matter most.

This Movember, let’s break the silence, open conversations, and remind the men in our lives that they are never alone on their journey toward wellness.
