This 8-week psychotherapy group is designed specifically for men who have a history of trauma and are seeking a supportive space to better understand how to transform their trauma and develop healthy emotional regulation skills. Each week, participants will develop a deeper understanding of trauma, explore tools for healing, and participate in group discussion with other men. The program includes a 30-minute one-on-one intake session, 16 hours of group work, a trauma workbook, and a 30-minute one-on-one debrief session at the end of the group.
The next available session starts on Wednesday September 10, 2025 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm for eight consecutive weeks.
Price: $800 (covered by most insurance plans) - a sliding scale payment option is available for those who would benefit from a reduced fee.

Parents Forever
For many parents, it can be a shock when they realize that their adult child is suffering from an addiction. Reactions can vary along a wide spectrum, from anger and blaming to guilt and shame. Addiction can often be a lonely road, not just for the person directly impacted, but also for their family members. One of the more beneficial things a parent can do when facing such a situation is to seek support.
The Parents Forever program is a professionally facilitated support group for parents of adult children (18+ years of age) struggling with substance use disorder and other addictive behaviours. In a safe and non-judgmental environment, participants will share and learn from each other and develop strategies and tools to build resilience and maintain the best possible relationship with their loved one. Each week, the group will connect around a particular theme, such as supporting without enabling, setting firm and sensible boundaries, improving self-care, and learning effective communication strategies.
The group meets every Friday from 10:00am to 11:30am in-person at the Centre (except the first Friday of each month where the group meets virtually using our secure virtual platform). The next session begins on August 15, 2025.
Price: $20.00 per week (covered by most insurance plans) - a sliding scale option is available for those that would benefit from a reduced fee.
To register as a participant, please contact Lynda@hoperecovery.ca or Starr@hoperecovery.ca.
Once registered, participants can attend as needed each week.
