Tomorrow I begin the "Cultural Diversity" course in my Masters of Counselling Psychology degree. This post provides a great understanding of what it is like to be a person of biracial or multiracial heritage. Did you know that Canada's Multiculturalism Act (1977 & 1981) was the first such policy in the world? What are your experiences with cultural diversity in Canada...no really, I'd love to know! So tell me! The good, the bad, and everything in between..... #julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie, #culturalheritage, #culturaldiversity

I hope sharing this will be helpful for parents and kids alike! #julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie, #covidchristmas2020

I am not living under a rock (just academic work)however I may be very late to the table on recommending you check in with The Red Table Talks. One of my favourite researchers Dr. Brene Brown joins the table in this real talk on vulnerability. Let me know if you like it. #julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie, #redtabletalk, #brenebrown, #vulnerability https://www.facebook.com/jada/videos/1415364675320265/

This stopped me in my scroll this morning. It reminded me of the young clients I'm meeting who feel "behind", that they need to "be successful" and "can't keep up". Life has a way of redirecting the best laid plans. What if we are all exactly where we are meant to be? And it's all perfect just the way it is? What do you think? #julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie

"In a national survey of English-speaking Canadians, among 541 respondents with no direct experience of suicidal ideation or depression, more than one-third admitted to holding stigmatizing beliefs about mental health issues in men". Most people want to stop mental health stigma. Post to tell me what you've done to help stop mental health stigma or help someone with a mental health challenge...#julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie, #mensmentalhealth, #mentalhealthstigma

This weekend Dana and I are writing 15 page academic research papers on "Assessments" for our Masters Degrees. And then I saw this..... such a great and timely reminder! :-)

Happiness Hacks! :-) #julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie

This will be a different holiday season for all of us. We begin red level restrictions in Barrie tomorrow. Many are wondering what the next year will bring. Self-efficacy is a psychological term for feeling we can cope with whatever comes our way. Building our self-compassion, and sense of competency increases our self-efficacy. High self-efficacy is related to positive coping and resilience. #julielewiscounselling, #counsellorbarrie, #Selfefficacy

Pooh and Piglet are among my favourite psychology gurus. A bit of a read; well worth the time. :-) Happy today! #depression, #barriecounsellor, #mentalhealthmatters, #julielewiscounselling
