🚨 Did you know?

1 in 3 young men in Canada believe asking for mental health support is a sign of weakness.

We think it takes way more strength to speak up than to struggle alone.

💙 It takes courage to say you're not okay.

💙 It takes courage to ask for help.

💙 It takes courage to let someone support you.

If things have been feeling overwhelming lately, start with one conversation.

Talk to a friend.

Talk to a parent.

Talk to a teacher.

Talk to a coach.

Talk to someone you trust.

You do not have to carry everything on your own.

Last Thursday, we had our last Youth Drop In until fall. The youth had a blast doing emotion tie dye - we wrote down common emotions we were facing and colour coordinated them to the colours we used to tie dye our shirts!

Stay tuned later this summer for the announcement of the start back date... it'll be here before you know it😃

Wellington Resource Centre, Clairmont Alberta

Meet the Thoughtlings of the June 12th Childrens Workshop! 👾

Thoughtlings are the unhelpful thoughts that sometimes pop into our minds without being invited. They can sound like self-doubt, worry, fear, or criticism, and often try to convince us that their messages are facts.

After reading The Tale of Tilly and the Thoughtlings, workshop participants created their own Thoughtlings to give these thoughts a face, personality, and name. By turning an unhelpful thought into a character, we can begin to recognize it, challenge it, and understand that we don't have to believe everything it tells us.

This activity helps build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience by teaching us to separate who we are from the thoughts we experience. When we can spot a Thoughtling, we can choose how to respond rather than letting it take control.

✨ Sometimes the first step to managing an unhelpful thought is simply noticing it—and realizing it's just a Thoughtling trying to get our attention.
