Good Life Collective

Boundaries, but make them… pasta-friendly 🍝. Clear boundaries = healthier relationships, less burnout, more space for what matters. When learning clicks like this, you know there's some smart up and coming therapists in the wings!

Mental Health First Aid isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are organizations.
The Essentials route builds shared awareness, common language, and practical tools for recognizing and responding early.
The Certification route goes deeper, preparing designated team members to respond confidently in higher-impact or crisis situations.
Both can be delivered either in-person, or virtually, and both support healthier, more responsive workplaces.
Choosing the right option depends on your team, your environment, and the level of support you want to build. Have questions? Pop an email to [email protected]

Whether the season feels exciting and joyful, overwhelming, or griefy, we're wishing moments of peace and joy to all.

Join us in Mannville for this important conversation on June 25th

We all know these last few years have been tough for producers; the lack of rain, our political climate, problems with shipping due to strikes or tariffs, just to name a few. Following the pandemic many people have been struggling, alone, for a long time. As our levels of resilience decrease, the statistics for negative outcomes increase too, and so we feel that creating space for mental health conversations is needed.

Join M-M-I F.C.S.S for a few hours next week and explore ‘real-life’ examples from agriculture, share resources and explore the idea of help-seeking. This session is available in person (with a complimentary breakfast) or virtually from the comfort and privacy of your own home. If everyone goes, no one goes alone!!

We're thrilled to welcome Student Therapist, Sarah, to our crew. Sarah will be completing practicum hours towards her 3-year Expressive Arts Therapy program. She brings a ton of experience to this space, bringing more than a decade of counselling experience in supporting folks with eating problems and body image concerns.

She's shifting focus a bit now, opening up to see clients with women's health issues, depression, anxiety, and a multitude of other concerns that may arise. She also recently completed her Somatic Experiencing Practitioner training, so she approaches all of her work from a trauma-responsive, attachment-informed lens.

Best part? She'll be seeing clients at a reduced rate of $60/session, and available for virtual sessions for your flexibility.

If you're interested in getting booked in with Sarah when she opens the books to take a limited amount of new clients in May, pop an email to [email protected] and we'll add you to the list.
