Workshops / Support Groups
A Safe Environment for Learning and Growth
Root & Renew offers trauma‑informed workshops designed to support individuals, caregivers, and community members across Central Alberta. Each workshop is a new take on support groups and blends grounding tools, education, and space for connection, helping participants understand their nervous system, navigate grief, or find steadiness during stressful seasons. These sessions are warm, accessible, and rooted in real‑life skills that people can use long after the workshop ends.

Grief and Loss Workshop
6:30 - 8:00 pm every 4th Monday of the month at Second Story Wellness, 5215 49 Ave, Innisfail
This workshop will identify and explore types of loss experienced such as a changing job, changing relationship, changing living situation or death. The goal is to educate and for the participants to leave with tools to manage the effects of loss. Email admin@rootandrenew.net to register.
Cost - $25 per session, includes snacks and worksheet. Led by a trauma-trained mental health professional, cost may be covered by health benefits.
This is similar to a support group, but instead of peer-led, it is led by a registered health professional, providing education and not just talking in a semi-formal setting.
