Creating Balance in Your Life
In today’s environment of competing demands, relentless commitments, and a consistent feeling of shortage of time, balance often does not come easily or naturally. A conscious effort, deep commitment, and clear priorities are required to create and protect one’s sense of balance. This seminar will help participants explore how their current choices impact their work-life satisfaction and help them to develop strategies to achieve a greater balance in life.

Healthy Active Living
Anyone can benefit from regular physical activity. Research shows that moderate amounts of physical activity on most days of the week can improve your health and quality of life. This seminar will teach participants about the benefits of being active as well as the risks of inactivity. They will also learn about the components of fitness and activities, and the six stages of behaviour change toward a healthier lifestyle.

Care for the Aging
With an aging population, elder care responsibilities are now becoming a reality for an increasing number of Canadians. This multifaceted role is quite different from any other, and many individuals may find it very challenging to investigate and learn about the critical issues they will face as a caregiver for older loved ones. This seminar will enhance caregivers’ decision- making ability and increase their likelihood of experiencing caregiving as a positive and rewarding role.

Understanding Depressive illness
Individuals suffering from depression often feel distant from friends and loved ones and can find it difficult to perform to their maximum productivity in the workplace. They can often have high rates of absenteeism or be unfocused. This situation is exacerbated by the stigma that still exists around depression and the reluctance to discuss it openly at home or at work.
The facilitator will encourage participants to shatter popular myths and misconceptions about depression and to increase their understanding of the causes, triggers, and symptoms of depressive illness. This seminar will also explore ways in which depression can be successfully treated.
