Hamilton

New Hamilton Location

May 28, 2019 by Juanita Leave a Comment

It is always bittersweet to change locations. I have enjoyed my time at 16McMurray street in Dundas, and I will especially miss the fish tank and the Dundas locale. That being said, I am excited to share my new location as of June 17 at 430 York Blvd in Hamilton at the Hamilton Centre for Personal Development. It is a beautiful space that I’m looking forward to sharing with you.

I will be keeping my Thursday Burlington location for now.

The new space is located at the corner of Locke street and York Blvd in Hamilton. The parking entrance is off of Locke Street, and there is free street parking too.  It has easy access to the 403, being just minutes away.

The building is shared with De La Sol Yoga Studio, Studio Zee Pilates, and so much more. My entrance is located on the York Blvd side. Just go up the one set of stairs and I’m there. If you need wheelchair accessibility, please let me know and I will share the details.

I will continue to be available Mondays and Wednesdays. See the link for hours and details.

Hamilton Centre for Personal Development Open House

If you want to see the new space or anything else that is offered in the building, there will be an open house on June 14 from 6-9pm called the Night of Light.

Child & Youth Mental Health Resources in Hamilton and Burlington Areas

February 15, 2018 by Juanita Lepage Leave a Comment

I recently attended a free workshop about depression & spirituality run by the LOST Organization in Hamilton – an inspiring new(ish) Non-Profit in Hamilton.  LOST stands for Living Outside of Suffering and Trauma.

They offer yoga, peer-group support, and creative time for people of any age, either with mental health issues or those supporting others with mental health issues. This place could be great for teens or adults.

The organization was created by a woman, Rebecca, who has depression and was tired of waiting for publicly-funded supports to become available to her.

The workshop I attended was packed and it was easy to see why. Events and support are either free or at a low cost.  Go check them out.  It’s not restricted by geographic area.

Here’s a quick list of other publicly-funded child and youth mental health supports in Hamilton & Burlington.

Tools to Use at Home

If you’re a parent on a waitlist or wanting tools to try now at home, go to Mental Health Foundations.  If you’re looking for local support using these tools, you can Contact Me.

If you have a burning question about mental health, a question that no one seems to be able to answer, or if you find google isn’t giving you what you want, check out Quora.  You’ll find questions and answers about all kinds of mental health concerns and very well written answers either by professionals in the field of child and youth mental health or from people who have anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, and so much more. Please note that the answers provided on Quora are not reviewed for accuracy, but that that the content is a much better quality than other forums I’ve reviewed. Please use your best judgment.
