Stress and anxiety are at an all-time high, but you don’t have to face them alone. Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care is launching a new virtual Stress & Coping Group through the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program. Starting October 15, this free online group will run weekly on Zoom and is open to anyone in Ontario aged 18 and older.

Life can feel overwhelming — whether it’s work, relationships, finances, or mental health challenges. This program is designed to help you:

• Understand stress and coping

• Identify and track stressors

• Practice problem-solving strategies

• Build healthier thought patterns

• Communicate assertively

• Develop social support systems

• Manage the physical effects of stress

• Strengthen resilience with self-compassion and values-based living

Unlike traditional programs, this group offers daytime sessions and weekly open admission, making it easy to join whenever you’re ready. The welcoming, non-judgmental format ensures you’ll feel supported while learning tools you can apply right away.
