Workshops

Meaningful conversations, practical tools and opportunities to connect.

WellNest offers interactive workshops for parents, children and youth on a variety of topics related to parenting, child development, mental health and family well-being.

Our workshops are designed to be engaging and practical, combining discussion, activities and opportunities to share experiences. Participants leave with new perspectives, helpful strategies and tools they can put into practice in their everyday lives.

Workshops can be offered in person or virtually and tailored to your group, setting and interests. We work with workplaces, schools, daycares, community organizations and families. We can even come to your home for a more informal gathering—think meaningful conversations, support, friends, drinks and snacks!

Testimonials

“Working with Eva here at our youth shelter has been truly amazing. Eva has provided a few workshops for our organization on self-care, wellness and mental health. Our youth has benefited tremendously on the wealth of knowledge that Eva demonstrates in this field and it was a pleasure working with her. I look forward in working with her again in the near future as our youth thoroughly enjoyed each moment with her.”
