BRIDGE
Group Support for Parents Navigating Depression (thebridgeproject.ca)
The BRIDGE program spans over 16 weeks, offering a nurturing space for parents navigating general distress and depression. Through weekly group telehealth sessions, BRIDGE helps you realize you're not alone, creating a community of understanding and support.
BRIDGE is built on the rich, foundational therapy insights of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT is a form of talk therapy based in part on the teachings of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, DBT is specifically attuned to the unique issues faced by individuals who feel things more intensely than others.
In addition to weekly talk sessions, BRIDGE participants have access to videos and worksheets to help address and improve parenting skills and approaches, especially in emotionally charged situations. Weekly short surveys serve as a time of reflection, and help participants track their journey towards greater well-being.

Group Support for Parents of Emotionally Expressive Children
Navigating the emotional tides of our children is sometimes the most challenging aspect of parenthood. But the beauty of the parent-child bond is its potential to weather any storm, learn its lessons, and blossom through understanding. SPACE invites parents to come together, learn, and grow.
We've designed SPACE to meet the unique needs of families in which children's emotions run deep and strong, aiming to turn challenges into the stepping stones that build emotionally resilient children, stronger relationships, and, ultimately, stronger families and communities.
In SPACE, parents learn skills focused on emotional expression (their own and their child's), which helps foster a nurturing environment that allows expression, addresses immediate behavioral and emotional needs, and lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy relationships. SPACE helps cultivate positive, empowered, understanding parents, which benefits the entire family.

BEAM
App-based program focused on family mental health & family relationships (thebeamprogram.com)
BEAM is a 12-week program designed for parents experiencing mental health challenges. With the flexibility for today's busy families, the BEAM app offers videos, interactive forums, engaging activities, and progress monitoring. BEAM aims to address more than just the average parental tips and ideas, offering an easy-to-navigate roadmap through the challenges of anxiety, depression, and anger within the family, as well as the sleep issues these challenges often make worse.
We've designed every aspect of BEAM to address the diversity of family dynamics and ensure a personalized experience. With our community partners, we continually refine BEAM to make sure the program and accompanying app is accessible and inclusive. Full Hearts Lab envisions BEAM as a space where every interaction propels you and your family closer to lifelong positive mental health and nurturing relationships.
