Virtual Groups that can be accessed by any residents of Newfoundland and Labrador
Did you know that group based therapy can be just as effective as individual therapy in addressing a wide array of mental health and addictions issues? In fact group interventions offer some unique benefits, such as shared support and connections with others. Check out some of the groups we are offering at NL Health Services. These groups are facilitated by skilled mental health clinicians in our province.
This drop-in group is available to any residents of Newfoundland and Labrador, age 18+. This group aims to provide a safe space for individuals to meet and explore topics related to their mental health. Group topics can vary from week to week, based on the needs and interests of those present. This drop-in group can be attended as needed and sign up is ongoing. There is no obligation to commit to regular attendance for this group (however weekly attendance is also welcome). Facilitators are trained mental health clinicians from NL Health Services.
The Mental Health Drop-in Group will be offered on Tuesday’s – starting January 19th from 5:30 pm – 7 island time (5 pm – 6:30 Labrador).
Please email nlgroups@nlhealthservices.ca to get more information. Please indicate which group you are connecting for in your subject line.
Have you experienced problems with alcohol, drug use or gambling? Would you like to connect with others who are in various stages of recovery? This group is for the person who is just starting out in looking at their substance use or gambling, or the person who has been making changes and is seeking some supports to continue.
The Addictions Drop-In Group is available to provide a safe space to connect, learn, and grow; with skilled Clinicians providing support and guidance to the process. This group is available for people who may not need, or cannot commit to, weekly attendance (however weekly attendance is also an option). It is also available for those who may be interested in exploring harm reduction options. The only commitment required is that you are clean on the day you attend group.

We would like to invite you to take part in our Wellness Wednesday’s. Wellness Wednesdays provide the opportunity for all residents of the province (age 18+) to learn information, and tools, to support good mental health. These sessions are offered by local mental health staff who are a part of the Mental Health Program of NL Health Services. Each week there will be a different topic of learning. People can attend one week, or as many as they like.
*What these sessions are for:
Sometimes we can get overwhelmed looking for the right information to help us improve our mental health. Sometimes we have not had the opportunity to access information and learn effective skills. These sessions will provide a safe, low barrier way to access information that is effective and relevant to you. Sessions will be offered by zoom so that people can access them from the comfort of their own home, no matter where they live in the province.
*How it works:
Email nlgroups@nlhealthservices.ca to register to get the zoom link (you need to register prior to 3:00 on the day of the session you wish to attend).
When emailing please indicate the date you are seeking to register for.
Sessions are free.
People are encouraged to turn their camera on, but it is not mandatory (you also do not need to provide your name when attending).
If you have any requests or suggestions for additional topics please feel free to let us know. Future sessions to be announced.
