Join registered clinical psychologist and owner of Empowerment Psychology Dr. Missy Wolfman and ICF-certified burnout coach Clarissa Hirst for the second of three Winter Wellbeing Workshops designed to help you maintain your wellbeing during the colder months.

This session can be attended as a stand-alone, even if you didn't attend the first one. If you did attend the first one, this will be a helpful check-in point and also contain new content and discussion points!

During winter, the good habits we cultivated earlier in the year when motivation was strong and the sun was shining can become harder to maintain. As the days grow shorter and colder, we can find ourselves slipping back into old patterns of behaviour that don't serve us.

In this workshop, you'll learn how habits are formed, and how they can be changed, engage in guided small group discussions and come away with a plan to ensure those bad habits don't derail you. Plus, you'll get plenty of support and accountability from others in the group. Just like the first session, this workshop will be content-light, designed to empower you to take action for yourself in a way that works for you.

So bring a pen and get ready to tackle those bad habits in a friendly, non-judgemental and low-pressure environment.

We'll be running one final workshop in July - date and details TBC.
