Upcoming course/group highlights this month:

Plan for Wellness & Recovery (PWR)
(5 sessions) – starting Thursday, August 1, 1:00 – 3:00 PM, Online
We use PWR as a tool to maintain wellness and manage periods of feeling unwell so we can live our best lives. In this peer-led course, participants are encouraged to reflect on themselves, what they are like when they are well, identify stressors, and develop wellness strategies to improve their well-being.
PWR can be used for everyday life as well as to prepare for events, both planned and unexpected. By having and using your Plan, you may have fewer difficult times and when wellness challenges arise, you will be better prepared to get through them.
Your Recovery Journey
(5 sessions) – starting Friday, August 2, 2:00 – 4:00 PM, VCH 520 West 6the Ave, Vancouver, BC
Feeling stressed by the news of the day? Join others to explore strategies to help cope with uncertainty and manage stress. Led by peer facilitators and developed during the pandemic, this 4-session course looks at stress, worry and anxiety, and common thinking traps that can affect our mental wellbeing. This course also includes many additional tools.
SMART Recovery *NEW TIMES ADDED*
Tuesdays, 6:30 – 8:00 PM, Online
Sundays, 6:30 – 8:00 PM, Online
SMART Recovery (Self Management for Addiction Recovery) is a free support group open to anyone seeking science-based, self-empowered addiction recovery.
Talking With Your Doctor
Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2:00 – 3:30 PM, In-person at VCH Three Bridges Community Health Centre
Get the most out of your time with your doctor!
Peer facilitators lead this 1.5 hour interactive workshop to empower patients to be active participants in their health care. An active patient asks questions, voices concerns and has opinions about their care which they share with their doctor(s) and other healthcare professionals. Using the PACE framework, we explore common challenges with doctor-patient interactions and learn techniques on how to improve them.
