Counsellors tackling the complicated interplay of anxiety, depression, and addictions often face challenges in knowing where to begin. Adding to this complexity are any potential obstacles that may come up when trying to facilitate meaningful change for clients. This program provides a comprehensive understanding of anxiety, depression, and addictions, as well as how they are interconnected. You will gain valuable skills in addressing these mental health challenges, along with strategies for implementing harm reduction techniques. You’ll learn effective approaches for managing anxiety and depression, as well as essential training in suicide intervention and life promotion. This is an opportunity to gain a robust set of tools for working with clients in crisis and complex mental health challenges.

Facilitator: Heather Woodward

MSW-IK, RSW

Heather holds a Master of Social Work degree based in Indigenous Knowledges and is a Registered Social Worker with nearly 25 years of experience in the helping field. She has spent much of her time working directly with children, youth, and families. In the first half of her career, Heather’s passion was working with youth of all genders (ages 11-24) that have been impacted by violence, sometimes with gang involvements, all forms of trauma (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual), addictions, mental health, and with individuals living with a FASD. More recently, she has pivoted her focus, and her passion has become wholistic wellness for helping professionals. She believes that even in the thick of trauma and/or crisis, people can use relationships and laughter to work through these critical moments. Heather values the lives and stories of everyone she has the honour of meeting and walking with on their life path. She is an energetic and engaging facilitator who strives to find ways to build connections and relationships with everyone. Read blogs written by Heather here.
