Wellness Support
Create a space for calm within yourself.
Our wellness supports can help you improve your overall well-being while reducing pain, stress and anxiety.
Trained volunteers provide these supports to people with life-limiting illnesses, dementia or caregivers experiencing high stress.
This program is offered free of charge through the generosity of our volunteers and donors, including the Halton Region Community Investment Fund.

Wellness Wednesdays Series
Join us for Wellness Wednesdays! A five-week series of wellness events. Each week we will explore different wellness topics to help with coping skills.

Self-Compassion Circle
The Self-Compassion Circle Series is a safe and dynamic space where like-minded people can find support, guidance and community, a place to gather and practice together. Self- Compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. Instead of just ignoring your pain with a “stiff upper lip” mentality, you stop to tell yourself, “this is difficult right now,” how can I comfort and care for myself at this moment?
The Self-Compassion Circle Series is a set of 6 sessions guided by 2 Self-Compassion Facilitators. Ana Nunes-Freitas, Wellness Care Manager & Educator and Nina Page, Bereavement and Hospice Care Counsellor of Acclaim Health.
Next Series: Summer 2022 – Session Full, February 2023 – Dates TBD
* Although the Wellness Wednesday Series is not a pre-requisite, it is strongly recommended to build knowledge surrounding Individual Wellness.
Be Well Hub
Join us every third Wednesday of the month from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. In this drop-in group, together, we will explore different topics pertaining to enhancing our individual and communal wellness.
Facilitator/Peer-led, we will review wellness articles of interest, share stories, experience a live meditation and encourage one another on our parallel wellness journeys. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to grow and encourage others.
Please note: although we will be touching upon personal struggles, our FOCUS for this group is to enhance our individual and communal well-being through exploring different coping strategies and moving from a surviving to a thriving growth mindset. If you require specific individual/ group support with your situation, a referral can be made for you.
