About this event
It is impossible to get through life without varying degrees of adversity. Some of the challenges we face are biproducts of choices we make, like moving to a new community or changing jobs, while others come into our lives like unwelcome house guests.
Like a sailboat that is prepared for all conditions, what if we could trust in ourselves to weather the storms? With a healthy resilience practice this is possible.
Join us on Saturday February 11 from 10 a.m. to noon, at the SOS Community Services Centre in Parksville for a free seminar where you will learn new ways to revive and restore your sense of well-being.
The seminar will be led by Cindy Thompson ACC, M. Sc, RCC, who is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Executive Coach. Over the past two years Cindy has been studying resilience and learning from the lived experience of her guests on A Resilience Project podcast. Drawing on 30 + years in the counselling field and the distilled practices of her guests on the podcast, she will give you a starter kit of resilience practices to help you thrive.
Panelists include representatives from local mental health service organizations.

About the organizer
SOS was started by three local women in 1968. They were concerned that the needs of local school children were going unmet, and seniors required assistance with basic necessities. They called on their friends and neighbours and formed SOS. In 1969, SOS Thrift Shop was opened to provide a secure funding base for the Society’s vital programs and services. Volunteers continue to be the backbone of SOS. Over the decades SOS has expanded, thanks to community support. Programs and services have evolved with the changing needs of the community. Today SOS provides dozens of free and subsidized programs to residents of all ages living in District 69 (Nanoose Bay to Bowser). SOS is truly the essence of the word Community.
