Counselling Groups and Workshops That Meet You Where You Are
Some things are easier to work through in a room full of people who get it. Our counselling groups and workshops in York Region give you practical tools, honest conversation, and proof you’re not the only one dealing with this. No diagnosis needed. No long-term commitment. Just show up.
Everyday Workshops β Stress, Parenting, Grief, and More
The everyday stuff quietly wears people down: constant stress, communication that keeps breaking down, low self-esteem, parenting overwhelm, grief that doesn’t fit into a tidy timeline. Our workshops tackle exactly this β real tools for real life, running throughout the year. Check our Events Calendar for what’s coming up next.

Not Sure Where to Start?
Are workshops the same as counselling?
No β workshops are educational and peer-support sessions, not one-on-one clinical counselling. For individual support, visit Speak with a Therapist.
Can I join the Understanding Substance Use series if I’m not using substances myself?
Yes β it’s open to anyone affected by substance use, including family, friends, and anyone who wants to learn more.
