Mental Health: Regain Your Sense of Meaning

Improving your Mental Health enables you to have greater confidence and increased self-esteem. When we are mentally healthy, we are
more positive towards life and the people within our social circles. We have increased energy, are able to be more creative, can take on more risks and cope with life stressors with greater ease. We’ve all heard or read about how to improve our Mental Health and Well-Being through exercise, eating right, reducing and managing stress. But there’s a difference between knowing and doing – and sometimes the problems and stressors prevent us from doing and being our best selves. Sometimes we need help to regain our sense of meaning and purpose, to learn new strategies for coping, to find balance between work and play and maintain fulfilling relationships. And that’s where counselling can serve you.

Community Counselling Program Helps Improve Your Mental Health and Well-Being!

Community Counselling is a free counselling service that has been offered to Langley and Aldergrove residents since the mid 80’s. The
program provides a confidential and nonjudgmental space for clients to address challenges be they emotional, situational or relational. LCSS serves all Langley residents inclusive of the LGBTQ2AI+ community. Counselling provides solid strategies, techniques, and frameworks to strengthen and improve client’s view, mood, life balance and resiliency. We all, at one time or another, are faced with an issue we are not able to navigate on our own. Whether you are seeking child or youth counselling, individual counselling, parenting or co-parenting counselling, or couples counselling, our counsellors are compassionate, empathetic, and committed to helping you.

The Community Counselling program delivered more than 1400 hours of counselling to over 240 couples and individuals last year. Since opening in the early 1980’s, Langley Community Services Society is proud to have provided more than 40,000 hours of free counselling, helping over 7000 individuals and couples over the last 35 years though this program alone.

Feeling Ashamed: My Story as a Parent

Suzanne: I thought I was incapable of being a good parent. I was having more problems parenting and being a wife than anyone I knew. I felt like a failure and was ashamed, so I never told anyone how much I struggled. Stressed out I finally went to my doctor who suggested counselling and that’s where I found out how out of balance my life was. I gained insights into my struggles and the reasons around them, learned how to structure my life so I, and my family could finally get what we each need – at least some of the time. With this new awareness and a much more balanced life I feel happier and more confident and that is making me a better parent and wife.
