A New Approach
In today's society, when obstacles arise, the focus lies on addressing the symptom. But for meaningful relief and resolve, a focus beyond the surface is needed to get to the root.
​
Mental health education begins with learning a simple blueprint, a blueprint for being human. A set of ideas that explains how we develop as humans, and how this impacts our relationships to ourselves, others and the world. Through learning and experiencing this blueprint, one can easily understand the root and overcome any obstacle, allowing for more ease, happiness and success in life.

Five Class Series,

I have found the classes very eye opening, compassionate and inspirational. They provide a point of reference that puts in a positive context many questions that we often don't have an answer to or are ashamed of asking.

It was enlightening and was a reminder that I am not alone with the way I think. It's been a while since I was in a group discussion and it was great to be a part of it. I came away with new insights for myself and for my family.
