Okanagan Peeps! We are offering the STOP Program again thanks to the diligent grant writing efforts of the amazing Michelle from John Howard Society Okanagan & Kootenay. As always, it is in person, and fully funded. If you know a man who could benefit from learning good relationship skills, send them this link.
STOP is a great program we've been privileged to facilitate since 2017.

LOCAL TO THE OKANAGAN - RESOURCES FOR MEN

Are you finding it hard to be truly honest with yourself and your loved ones about the challenges in your relationships? Whether it’s struggling with intimacy, keeping secrets, or feeling disconnected, you’re not alone. Understanding where you stand is the first step to healing and building stronger, healthier connections. Curious about how ready you are to recover and grow?

Discover your Relationship Recovery Readiness Score here https://www.rrrscore.wacs.ca

A private, judgment-free scorecard to help men assess problematic sexual behaviours, recovery readiness, and whether support could help them rebuild honesty, control, and healthier intimacy.

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual — and even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure sometimes.

Counselling can provide a supportive space to navigate parenting challenges, strengthen connection with your children, improve communication, and build tools for the hard moments.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Sometimes support for the parent is one of the best gifts you can give your child. 💚

Feeling stuck in heated conversations? Try these simple prompts to rebuild connection at home:
“What do you need from me right now?”
“Can we pause and come back in 20 minutes?”
“Help me understand how you feel.”
We use family-centred methods that improve conflict resolution and cohesion.

Starting counselling can feel intimidating. A lot of people wait until things feel unbearable before reaching out for support. But healing doesn’t begin when you have everything figured out — it begins when you decide to start.

You don’t need the perfect words. You don’t need a crisis. You don’t even need to know exactly what’s wrong.

Sometimes the hardest part is simply booking the first appointment, showing up, and allowing yourself to be supported.

Small steps still change lives. 💚

I remember meeting a client from Kelowna who thought therapy was out of reach. Low fees and bilingual sessions changed that. They found support in our clinic on Bernard Avenue and online, learned coping skills, and felt fewer barriers to care. We started this work to widen access — and we mean it.

Therapy doesn’t always have to happen in an office. 🌿

For some people, sitting across from someone in a room can feel a little too formal, intense, or “stuffy.” That’s why Chrissy offers Walk & Talk sessions upon request — a more relaxed way to connect while getting fresh air and moving your body.

Whether you feel more comfortable opening up side-by-side instead of face-to-face, or you simply love being outdoors, this can be a gentle and grounding alternative to traditional therapy sessions.

Reach out to learn more or request a Walk & Talk session with Chrissy. 💚
