Welcome!

Welcome guests! The intent of my blog is to provide a place to post information related to children, families, mental health concerns and aspects of life that impact these. I often find great information that would be nice to share with others such as, interesting readings, videos, or links. Nothing on this blog should be taken as advice on its own, however, as readers/bloggers you should consult with your family doctor or mental health practitioner if an issue seems relevant to you.

Teen Run Group - Team Unbreakable

The GBFHT in Collingwood is running our third running group for youth struggling with depression, anxiety, and suicidality. Call 7054445885 if you live in the area and are a high school student. Bring a friend! You don't need to be a runner or even know how to run.

Olympic Fever

Ever wonder how the athletes keep their focus and motivation? Check out this link that outlines research and CBT strategies that help our athletes to be competitive.

I'm thinking, if it's good enough for them, it's likely good enough for us!
