During COVID-19, many of us have more time on our hands. In the past, we’ve told ourselves “When I have time, I’ll learn how to….”. Now is an excellent time to learn new ways to take care of yourself and expand your wellbeing toolkit. Join our facilitators to explore how you can use self-compassion in these uncertain times. We will have a chance to practice some self-compassion exercises, imagine how you can weave them into your life, and share ideas and feedback with the group.

Samantha Johnson, BSW, MACP has worked as a social worker for the last 18 years and recently completed her Masters in Counselling Psychology. She is now a counsellor at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm and views self-compassion as an important tool in supporting our mental health and wellness.
