Are you finding yourself in a slump? It makes sense - its February!
We've collected a list of ideas for you to try to make it through, and guess what Spring is not too far away! Here are some ideas for you to get through it well :) Embrace Natural Light Ensure you get exposure to natural sunlight during the day. Open curtains, go for a walk outside, or sit by a window to maximize your daylight exposure. Stay Active Engage in regular physical activity, whether it's indoor exercises, winter sports, or simply taking a brisk walk. Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve mood. Create a Cozy Space Make your living space warm and inviting. Add blankets, pillows, and soft lighting to create a comfortable and cozy environment. Connect with Others Socialize with friends and family, even if it's through virtual means. Maintain social connections to combat feelings of isolation. Practice Mindfulness and Relaxation Incorporate mindfulness practices, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated. Proper nutrition can have a positive impact on your mood and energy levels. Book a Day Retreat Check out the upcoming retreats in the London area we are offering here. Invest in Self-Care Prioritize self-care activities such as hot baths, skincare routines, or pampering yourself. Taking care of your physical well-being can positively impact your mental health. Also you can book a counselling session with Olivia or Juliana to talk through difficult feelings you might be having. Look at our schedules here. Remember that everyone is different, so it's essential to find what works best for you!

The Benefits of Virtual Counselling for Youth 1. Accessibility: Virtual counselling eliminates geographical barriers, allowing youth to access support from the comfort of their homes. This is especially crucial for those who may be hesitant to seek in-person help due to stigma or other concerns. 2. Comfort and Familiarity: Teenagers and young adults are inherently comfortable with technology, making virtual counselling a natural fit for their communication preferences. The familiar environment of online platforms can encourage a sense of openness and ease in expressing thoughts and emotions. 3. Anonymity: Virtual counselling provides a level of anonymity that can be appealing to youth. The ability to communicate without the fear of judgment or running into someone they know in a waiting room fosters a safe space for self-expression. 4. Flexible Scheduling: The demands on a young person's time can be unpredictable, with academic commitments, extracurricular activities, and social obligations. Virtual counselling offers flexibility in scheduling sessions, making it easier for them to integrate mental health support into their busy lives. Virtual counselling is not just a solution for the present; it is an investment in the mental well-being of the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. We are available evenings and weekends to support youth ages 12-24. ![]() Meet Juliana Simon - a Registered Social Worker who lives in Windsor but can see clients all across Ontario thanks to our Jane platform.
