At Wholesome Psychology, we believe that building a healthier community starts with open, accessible conversations around mental health. As a locally rooted practice serving Edmonton and St. Albert, our community mental health workshops are designed to provide individuals, schools, businesses, and organizations with tools, knowledge, and compassionate support to foster emotional well-being. These workshops are part of our larger mission to destigmatize mental health and empower communities to thrive.

Why Community Mental Health Education Matters

Mental health isn't just a private issue—it’s a community responsibility. Whether it's navigating stress at work, supporting a child with ADHD, or creating inclusive environments in schools, education is key. Through our workshops and consultation services, we aim to equip people with the confidence and skills to better understand mental health, communicate effectively, and support one another.

Based in Edmonton and St. Albert, Wholesome Psychology brings a localized, trauma-informed, and relationship-centered approach to every workshop. Our facilitators include registered psychologists and emerging professionals who combine clinical knowledge with real-world empathy to create safe, educational, and empowering spaces.

What We Offer: Topics Tailored for Impact

Our workshops cover a wide range of timely and impactful topics that can be customized based on the needs of your group, whether it's a classroom of high school students, a team of educators, a corporate HR department, or a community group. Some of our most requested topics include:

• Building Self-Esteem and Confidence: Exploring how early life experiences shape self-worth, and strategies to build a positive self-image.
• Understanding ADHD and Executive Functioning: Supporting individuals, educators, and families in recognizing and navigating ADHD symptoms and executive skill challenges.
• Emotional Regulation and Coping Skills: Teaching practical tools for emotional awareness, distress tolerance, and healthy expression.
• Stress Management and Resilience: Equipping participants with strategies to identify stress triggers and build adaptive resilience practices.
• Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Introduction to breathing techniques, grounding strategies, and meditation practices that enhance mental clarity and calm.
• Effective Communication and Conflict Resolution: Promoting healthy dialogue, assertiveness, and problem-solving in personal and professional settings.

Whether you’re a school administrator, community leader, or employer in the Edmonton region, we’ll work closely with you to design a program that aligns with your group’s unique goals and demographics. Our workshops are structured to be interactive, informative, and inclusive, with time allocated for discussion, Q&A, and resource sharing.

Workshops Led by Professionals & Supervised Student Clinicians

As part of our commitment to accessible care and community engagement, we offer select free or low-cost mental health education sessions led by our student clinicians. These clinicians are graduate-level psychology students receiving supervised training through Wholesome Psychology. Their workshops provide valuable insight while also supporting the development of the next generation of therapists.

Past workshops have explored topics like self-compassion, anxiety management, and ADHD awareness, often hosted in libraries, schools, or online formats. These offerings are reviewed and supervised by registered professionals to ensure quality and accuracy, while also broadening access to mental health education throughout Edmonton and St. Albert.

Supporting EDI: Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in Mental Health

Our workshop model is built with a deep respect for equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). We understand that cultural identity, race, gender, ability, and socioeconomic status all shape how individuals experience mental health. Our facilitators strive to create welcoming environments where every participant feels seen, valued, and heard.

Whether discussing trauma, intersectionality, or neurodiversity, our goal is to center lived experiences and challenge systemic barriers to well-being. This focus is central to our practice and part of the culture we aim to build across our locations in Edmonton and St. Albert.

Consultation for Schools, Businesses & Nonprofits

In addition to educational workshops, Wholesome Psychology provides mental health consultation services for organizations across Edmonton and surrounding areas. We partner with:

• Schools: Offering staff development, parent education nights, and classroom presentations.
• Businesses: Supporting workplace mental health policies, team-building, and burnout prevention.
• Nonprofits & Community Centers: Co-developing mental health programming, training volunteers, or supporting vulnerable populations.

These consultations are collaborative and tailored. We listen first—understanding your values, goals, and concerns—then we co-create solutions grounded in best practices, ethics, and compassion.

Breaking the Stigma, One Conversation at a Time

Our workshops are more than just presentations—they are catalysts for change. We believe that by speaking openly and honestly about mental health, we normalize these discussions and help reduce the stigma that still prevents many from seeking help. The impact of these conversations ripples through families, classrooms, and workplaces.
