About Wellness Matters Talks
We’ve been offering free community talks since 2014, as part of our ongoing commitment to providing accessible mental health resources in our community.
Each session is led by one of our therapists on a topic that comes up often in our work.
Talks run about 60 minutes and include a presentation and time for questions. They’re offered as webinars, so you can join from anywhere. When you join live, you’ll have the chance to ask the presenter your questions directly. Can’t make it? You’ll find our full library of over 100 past talks below.
Navigating the World in High Definition: Practical Tools for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
Learn how to leverage high sensitivity as a superpower both at work and home as we deconstruct the myths about sensory-processing sensitivity and share strategies for building resilience and thriving.
Why Connection Heals (And How to Rebuild It When You’re Exhausted)
This talk is not about doing a ‘how-to’ on boundaries or emotional intelligence. Instead, we are going to talk about the hidden ingredient in all of those things that makes any skill, boundary and any conversation actually work. We will learn about connection. Why it is hard, why it matters and what actually helps when you feel stuck, unseen, or alone in a relationship, including the one with yourself.
Taking ACTion: The Power of Psychological Flexibility
What is psychological flexibility and how does it apply to everyday experiences like anxiety, relationship difficulties, and self-criticism? Join us as we explore how to notice our thoughts and feelings, and choose to respond to them in ways that move you toward your goals. Let’s challenge the idea that you must feel “ready” for change. Learn how to apply principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to begin making meaningful changes in your life today.
