FREE Mental Health Workshops & Offerings

We know the world feels a little heavy right now, and that can be hard for kids, teens, and families. At Acorn Counselling, we care deeply about our community. That’s why, this summer, we’re offering a number of free workshops and short-term counselling sessions to support you and your family. These are simple, caring ways to help you and your child feel a little more grounded, connected, and supported—because no one should have to do it all alone.

Short-Term No-Cost Counselling

Meet with our Clinical Interns. These are caring, trained team members who are here to listen and support. Families can access up to three sessions at no cost, and spots are open to new clients. It’s a great way to get support for your child, teen, or family in a warm and welcoming space.

Mention “probono” on our form.

Free Workshops

Please note that these workshops below are not considered “psychotherapy” and are not a substitute for individual mental health assessment and treatment. If you or your child requires additional support, please contact us.

YOGA for Moms: Reset and Self Care

A calming yoga practice for moms focused on nervous system support, embodied awareness, and deep rest. This is a non-performative, judgment-free space where options are always offered and listening to your body is encouraged. Through gentle movement and intentional pauses, you’ll have space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and release built-up stress. This practice supports greater calm, resilience, and a sense of being more grounded in your daily life. You don’t need flexibility or prior yoga experience—just a willingness to pause and be with yourself and bring your mat!

We'd love to hear from you!

At Acorn Counselling, we create our workshops and resources based on what families tell us they need. If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover—through a future workshop, presentation, or blog post—please let us know. Whether it’s something you’re facing at home, or something you’ve heard other parents talk about, your voice matters. Together, we can keep building support that truly fits our community.
