Group and one-on-one support at Victoria College
The Wellness Interns offer group and individual coaching and support sessions as part of Emmanuel College’s Master of Pastoral Studies, Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy education program. Wellness Interns function under the supervision of a registered psychotherapist and social worker and are supported through the Office of the Dean of Students.
The focus of individual coaching and group supports do not fall under the regulated practice of psychotherapy but can include supportive care, emotional support, spiritual and mindfulness practices, information and education, strengths-based coaching and solution-focused techniques.
Weekly Workshops
Join us for a casual group session. Over a warm beverage and a sweet treat, take some time to prioritize your wellness this year and learn strategies, find support, and create space for developing a more balanced life as you navigate the many changes a new academic year can bring.
