📢 Today we published an Open Letter to the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors 📢

Recently, the BCACC disclosed member information to Pacific Blue Cross (including, in some cases, clinicians' home addresses) without first obtaining consent from its 10,000+ members.

To our knowledge, NO client information was involved, and the disclosure was limited to Registered Clinical Counsellors' information.

Regardless...

👏 Consent. 👏 Matters. 👏

The BCACC communicated this directly to its members rather than through a public statement, and have yet to respond privately to questions about their repeated overreach and steps beyond their mandate. So, we're giving them the opportunity to respond publicly to our questions instead.

While prompted by this most recent incident, the Open Letter raises broader questions about:

🏛️ Governance
🔍 Transparency & Accountability
🤝 Member Autonomy
📋 Organizational Priorities

Professional associations play an important role. With that role comes responsibility, restraint, and transparency.

We hope this contributes to a respectful conversation about the future of our profession.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌿 - a meaningful reminder that self-care isn’t just for the hard days, it’s something we can practice every day. 💙

At Coastality, we’re passionate about supporting mental wellness as a proactive, intentional part of life, not just something we turn to when things feel overwhelming.

Check out our latest article to learn how small daily habits can make a big difference, and why we’re choosing to focus on “mental wellness” over “mental health".

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Coastality! 🌸

Today we’re celebrating every kind of mom - birth moms, chosen moms, stepmoms, single moms, fur moms, mother figures, and those navigating this day with love and complexity. 💛

Motherhood is a journey filled with joy, challenges, and a lot of emotional multitasking. So today, we’re not just honoring the love you give, but also the care you deserve.

Here’s to:
🧘‍♀️ Taking five quiet minutes (guilt-free).
💬 Reaching out when you need support.
💖 Making space for your own mental wellness.

You’re doing amazing - and it’s okay to need a breather too. We're here for you, today and every day. 💐

🌸 Spring isn’t just for tidying your home - it’s a great time to clear out the mental clutter too.

If you’ve been carrying stress, overwhelm, or emotional weight through the start of the year, you’re not alone. This season invites us to slow down, check in with ourselves, and make space for what really matters.

💭 What thoughts or habits are you ready to let go of?
💡 What would a lighter, more intentional version of you feel like?

Whether you're showing up for others every day or trying to stay afloat yourself, this is your reminder: your mental space deserves care, too.

Let’s talk if you’re ready to release the weight and create space for clarity and calm. 🌿

Happy Easter Weekend from the team at Coastality! 🐣

Whether you're chasing kids through the yard with a basket, dodging awkward family questions, or just fully committed to couch mode with DoorDash from McDonald's (no judgment here!) - we hope you’re carving out a little time for you.

Step outside for a breath of fresh air (even if it’s just to the porch). Nature helps. Science-ish. 🌿

Sending all the chocolate-fuelled good vibes and a reminder: you're doing just fine. 💙

Our main office is closed until Tuesday, but check your individual clinician's availability for bookings!

Feeling drained from endlessly scrolling bad news? You might be caught in a doom scrolling loop - and it's more common (and harmful) than you think.

📱 Doom scrolling can quietly ramp up stress, anxiety, and even burnout. But the good news? You can break the cycle.

Here are a few simple ways to reset your digital habits:

🔒 Set Boundaries: limit your screen time and create tech-free zones throughout your day. Your mind needs time to rest.

🌈 Curate Your Feed: follow uplifting, inspiring content (like ours! 😉), and mute or unfollow accounts that bring you down.

🌿 Engage in Offline Activities: move your body, enjoy a hobby, or reconnect with loved ones - real-world joy hits different.

🧘 Practice Mindfulness: a few deep breaths or 5 minutes of meditation can make a huge difference.

💻 Want more tips and insights? Check out our full resource article on how to stop doom scrolling and reclaim your peace:

It’s finally Friday and let’s be real—our brains are halfway in weekend mode already. The hustle’s been real all week, but before we dive headfirst into plans, parties, or full-on couch mode, take a beat.

Your mind’s been carrying a lot—give it some space to breathe. Mental wellness isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what you need to feel grounded, even if that means just existing in sweatpants and soft lighting for 48 hours.
Weekend vibes: soft, slow, and guilt-free. 🌊🧠💫
