Mental health is not about reaching a certain destination, but rather about the journey and the process of getting there.

It's about taking care of yourself along the way and learning how to cope with life's ups and downs. Keep making progress, taking one step at a time. 🌟

Repeat after me: it's ok to not be ok.

We all have days when we feel overwhelmed, anxious or just plain down. It's important to remember that these feelings are normal, and it's okay to ask for help when we need it.

Let's create a culture where we can openly discuss mental health without fear of judgment or shame. Remember, you are not alone, and there is always help available.

Coping mechanisms aren’t all bad!

While maladaptive (harmful) coping mechanisms should be avoided, there are mechanisms that can be effective and positive. Things like setting healthy boundaries, self-care (think eating nourishing foods, drinking water, getting outside, getting enough sleep), and mindfulness practice can all be powerful tools to help us cope.

What’s a healthy coping mechanism you practice?

I’ve been there…

Being married for 12 years, having had 4 children, and continuing working, I understand the challenges of everyday life. I found my passion for mental health after I struggled with post-partum depression and had other stresses in my life that were out of my control. This time in my life was very difficult because I didn’t know how to begin getting help.

As a Licensed Practical Nurse, I have been serving the local communities of Spruce Grove and Stony Plain for 14 years. I have a passion for Community Health and have now specialized in Psychotherapy.

I would love to see therapy become a part of family practice medicine and mental health status checks becoming part of yearly physicals. This more holistic approach to health would go a long way toward improving mental health in the community (not to mention decreasing ER wait times and taking some pressure off of the health care system).

I am proud to be offering an accessible, affordable mental health support service to Spruce Grove and area. If you need someone to talk to, I’m here.

Self-care isn't just about bubble baths and face masks. It's also about treating yourself with kindness and compassion.

As a mother, I know that it can be easy to put our own needs last. But when we prioritize self-kindness, we give ourselves the love and support we need to show up for others (including our spouses and children).

This might mean taking a break when we feel overwhelmed, saying no to things that don't serve us, or simply acknowledging and accepting our emotions without judgment.

Remember, self-kindness is not selfishness! It's a necessary part of taking care of ourselves so we can be our best selves for our families and loved ones.

How will you practice self-kindness today?

Building adaptive coping mechanisms is like building a toolbox for your mental health journey.

Just as a toolbox is filled with tools to help fix things, adaptive coping mechanisms are tools you can use to navigate life's challenges in a positive way. Whether it's journaling, meditation, or talking to a trusted friend, building adaptive coping mechanisms can help you feel more empowered and better equipped to handle whatever comes your way.

So take the time to build your toolbox and invest in your mental health – you deserve it!
