Testimonials

Action Planning for Prevention & Recovery (APPR)

"The most beneficial part was being able to recognize and write down signs that others or I are not doing well so it can be noticed and addressed before it becomes a crisis.”

Grief and Mental Health

"It was an incredibly meaningful 2 hours spent with David Maginley. His use of such rich and textured language, which covered so many facets of grief, has given context to my own grief. He was so well-informed, experienced and kind. His presence was reassuring. I have already used the technique of placing my hand on my chest and have also visited a website that he highlighted (MyGrief.ca). Thank you so much for this workshop."

Art Therapy

"Art Therapy: I have PTSD and a recently-developed anxiety disorder. I've been off work for 10 months. This workshop was extremely beneficial to me. It gave me some new tools to use for calming my nerves and negotiating my anxiety disorder. Many, many thanks to Evie and the tech support. This is such a valuable use of mental health financial resources."

Therapeutic Touch®

"I have used this every day since learning it through
Self-Help Connection. It helps the pain from my arthritis"
