Enjoy a few laughs while revving up your resilience


No matter who you are, we all face stretches of stormy weather. UpLift is a one-of-a-kind wellness program designed to help you navigate those difficult times. 

This webinar series was created by Josh Martin: a cancer survivor, author and regular guest facilitator for the Canadian Mental Health Association.  In each of the modules below, you’ll find obstacle-busting advice and practical resources, drawing on lessons learned from lifeโ€™s awesome and absurd moments.

Rainy Days Therapy

RP (Qualifying), Ex.A.T

How often have you had to leave parts of yourself at the door? It can be hard to love and accept yourself, especially when you live in a world where you are told to keep parts of yourself hidden to fit in.

I am a queer, neurodivergent Asian psychotherapist, using an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed frame. I work using the arts as a vehicle to find your inner voice, and creativity, and explore your strengths and resources. Learn more.
