World Mental Health Day | October 10

Your mental health matters, today and every day.

Let’s break the stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind one another that it’s okay to not be okay. Take a moment to check in with yourself and the people around you. Sometimes, a little kindness can make a big difference.

Let’s create a world where mental health is understood, supported, and prioritized. 🌱

September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

As a clinic, we pause to listen, remember, and reflect. We honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, their families, and Indigenous communities across Canada.

It is an opportunity to acknowledge the truth of our shared history, to learn from the experiences and voices of Indigenous Peoples, and to reflect on our individual and collective responsibility toward reconciliation.

We encourage everyone to take time to listen, learn, and reflect, not only on September 30, but throughout the year. The commitment to truth and reconciliation should extend beyond this day through continued education, understanding, respect, and meaningful action.

little things to do in the morning BEFORE you go on your phone ☀️🤍
☕️ Make something warm to drink
Start your morning slowly and give yourself a moment to ease into the day.

📻 Turn on the radio
Listen to some music or a morning show instead of immediately scrolling.

📖 Read a few pages
Give your mind something peaceful and positive to focus on.

🧘‍♀️ Stretch
Gently wake up your body and release some of that morning tension.

🎨 Spend 10 minutes on a hobby
Do something just for you, whether that’s drawing, journaling, knitting, music, or anything you love.

Sometimes protecting your mental health starts with giving yourself a little space before the outside world gets your attention. 🌿🤍

This Sunday marks Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day, a time to pause, reflect, and honour the courage, dedication, and service of those who protect and serve our communities.

At YourTherpist, we recognize the unique demands and experiences that can come with serving as a police or peace officer. We are committed to providing specialized, confidential, and compassionate mental health care designed to support those who serve our communities.

On this day of remembrance, we honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and extend our gratitude to all who continue to serve.

As Ottawa Capital Pride approaches, we’re taking a moment to celebrate Pride and reflect on what it means to the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Pride is a time to honour identity, love, resilience, belonging, and the courage to live authentically. We are especially grateful for the many 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and families we have the privilege of supporting through our work.

At YTPC we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where everyone feels seen, respected, heard, and supported, exactly as they are.

This Pride, we celebrate you, stand with you, and continue working toward a community where everyone can thrive.
