PEACE-Free Peer Group and Family Law Webinar




www.peacefss.ca


No matter what you’re experiencing, you’re not alone.

As human beings, we are wired for connection. During stressful times we need a safe space to feel supported and to connect with others.

We are that space and connection.

We’re here to walk beside you and help you find whatever you need in this moment.

  • We reconnect you with yourself through mindfulness and self compassion;

  • We connect you with others through peer mentorship, peer groups, webinars and workshops;

  • We connect you to helpful online and community resources and services;

  • We support your wellbeing by connecting you to trusted and dependable care professionals who are specifically chosen because of their shared values and compassion.

With the right support, knowledge, and care, even the toughest moments can become opportunities for healing, growth, and reconnection.

At the heart of what we do is a commitment to helping you find PEACE — Patience, Ease, Acceptance, Clarity, and Empowerment — in every step of your journey.







What if you didn't have to go through challenges and stress alone!?? 

Join us for some time together to connect and find strength in knowing you're not alone in this! 

New free peer groups starting February 2nd!!




Are you separating or divorcing and have some questions about your legal rights and responsibilities?

Join us on February 11th for our free online Family Law Q&A webinar!

Good Morning Ladies,


I hope this weekend was amazing for you all. 
What a difference the sun makes!

1. Serotonin Surge - the feel good hormone is prompted by the sun
2. Better Sleep - Seeing bright light in the morning tells your brain to stop the melatonin production (sleep hormone) thus giving you a reset and being able to help you sleep at night
3. Boost in vitamin D!
4. Stress reduction - you're moving outside, thus slowing down the cortisol stress hormone.



Tuesday Feb 3
What are you like at your best? A Practical Strengths Workshop for Everyday Life
This interactive workshop helps you understand what you naturally do well — and how to use those strengths more effectively in real life.

Using the VIA Character Strengths framework (a short assessment completed in advance), we’ll explore:

  • What strengths actually are (and why they matter)

  • How to use your strengths intentionally — without overdoing or underusing them

  • How strengths show up under pressure, at work, and in relationships

  • How to recognize strengths in others to improve communication and connection

This isn’t about fixing yourself or digging into the past.It’s about gaining clarity, confidence, and practical tools you can use right away.

Through guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and a hands-on strength-spotting exercise, you’ll leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of how you operate at your best

  • Practical ways to apply your strengths in daily life

  • Greater confidence, resilience, and self-awareness

  • Stronger connections with the people around you

No experience required. Just show up ready to participate.

Stress Reset: Practical Tools to Regulate Stress and Strengthen Mental Performance

Stress does not just live in your head. 

It lives in your nervous system and directly affects focus, decision making, sleep, patience, and performance.

In this short and impactful session, you will learn how stress actually works in the brain and body, and how to shift out of constant pressure mode so you can respond instead of react, think clearly under stress, and feel more in control day to day. This is not about talking more or doing more. It is about learning how to work with your nervous system so it works for you.


All Participants who Attend will Receive:

A complimentary Self Hypnosis audio to use at home

A 50% off offer for any Westend Hypnosis Program when a Free Screening is booked on the spot or that day
