NEW: Tough Stuff is updating its format to increase the group’s focus and the healing environment. It will be a 6-session group, with a certification of your attendance at the end.
Tough Stuff runs every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month | 5 PM – 6:30 PM
There will be increased structure by the facilitators, and the opportunity for deeper sharing and personal exploration. We understand that healing from our substance and behavioural challenges requires the opportunity to grow and learn from one another.
The topics for the 6 sessions are:

Self-Compassion
Strength in Vulnerability
Forgiveness
Inner Child
Mindfulness and Meditation
Connection & Community

This is a group for open and honest discussions about what drives us to do what we do! This is a safe space to meet with others with lived experience, who know how you feel!
The Krasman Centre operates from a harm reduction perspective, we are here to support you with any goals you may have.
Please note registration for this cycle (October to December) is now closed. We will begin our next group on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. Please register using the online registration form if you are interested in participating in the next group. You will be contacted when the group begins.

Negative Self-Talk:

Do you find that your inner critic is controlling your life?
Do you have ruminating thoughts you can’t control?
Are you experiencing feelings you can’t identify?

Guess what, you are not alone.

This virtual group will challenge negative emotions and share coping strategies to promote our own personal wellness. Peers will be asked to share a troubling experience (personal or not) and the group will work together to come up with solutions that enable the individual to feel in control of the situation.
Join us every Tuesday from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm.
