New Skills for Safer Living Group
Self Help Alliance, CMHA and Lutherwood are excited to offer the Skills for Safer Living group to youth aged 14-16 and their guardians. If your child has experienced thoughts of suicide, self-harm and/or are engaging in self-harming behaviours this group will help them:
- Learn to better understand their feelings and how to talk about them
- Decrease the thinking patterns that may be contributing to self-harm or thinking about suicide
- Gain control and choices in crisis situations to increase safety
As a guardian, Skills for Safer Living will help you:
- Increase understanding of risk and protective factors
- Increase ability to respond to suicidal/self-harming thoughts and behaviours
- Understand skills being taught to youth
To register, contact Angela Weber-Thompson at 519-623-9383 x 4306. Please inquire at your earliest convenience as space is limited
