The Causes, Prevalence and Impact of Eating Disorders
What’s your relationship with food? Do you keep things casual or is it love? Or maybe it’s an obsession? A toxic lover you just can’t quit? This week, we interviewed our Peachey Counselling and Family Support team member, Registered Social Worker, Kate Brockbank, about the causes, prevalence and impact of eating disorders.
Ok, it’s 2021. Now what?
“I can’t wait until 2020 is over.” How many times have you said that to yourself? For many of us the end of 2020 somewhat equated to the end of the pandemic. That somehow once the clock struck midnight we would be able to leave the nightmare of 2020 behind. What are you thinking now?
Coping With The ‘Holiday Blues’
The holidays are supposed to be a joyful time of year, but for many people it can be a lonely, isolating, and stressful experience. Why is it like this? This week, we interviewed our Peachey Counselling and Family Support team member, Registered Social Worker, Kate Brockbank. Read what she had to say about coping with seasonal depression, most often referred to as the ‘holiday blues.’
Dealing with Covid-19 During the Holidays
This year, in true 2020 fashion, the added stress of having a ‘Covid Christmas’ is making it hard to feel that holiday spirit. This week, we interviewed Patricia Ramos, a Registered Psychotherapist here at Peachey Counselling and Family Support, to get her thoughts on how to deal with the stress, anxiety, depression and feelings of isolation brought on by COVID-19 this holiday season.
Do You Feel Like Giving Up?
Mentally speaking we are all tired of this pandemic. We thought - just wait until summer, just wait until fall, just wait until the new year and things will be different, better, back to normal - but they’re not. This week, we interviewed Stefanie Peachey, a Registered Social Worker and Founder of Peachey Counselling and Family Support, to get her thoughts on how we can manage our stress and build resiliency in this unprecedented time of uncertainty.
Women and Abuse
In total, Canadians have spent $7.4 billion to address the aftermath of spousal violence. Clearly, domestic violence affects us all, and cannot be ignored. We interviewed Natalie Lafleur, a Registered Social Worker here at Peachey Counselling and Family Support, to get her thoughts on the topic of women and abuse to gain insight into how women might receive abuse, as well as how abuse can manifest itself in relationships.
