In March 2025, we hosted our 1st ever Minding Stress workshop with Alberta Health Services. 20 attendees joined us for 3 weekly sessions where we learned practical skills to help us deal with stress. Here are just a few of the comments we heard about these sessions
I really enjoyed the stress sessions; have more ideas to help me with what comes my way, stress-wise. The instructors were both wonderful. Thanks to you and those others for organizing it.
Below are a number of the resources the AHS staff shared during the workshop
