Seeds of Success
Who we are:
Seeds of Success is Northwood’s Mental Health and Wellness support program. Our goal is to promote good mental health and healthy living, which allows participants to feel, think, and act in ways that help them enjoy life and cope with its challenges.
Who Participates?
Seeds of Success is open to long term care residents in Halifax and tenants living in Northwood Manor or Towers. Individuals can access the program if they have a mental health condition or are experiencing symptoms that interfere with daily living or routine and can benefit from structured group programs.
Symptoms that interfere with daily living and routine may include:
- Mood swings
- Excessive fear, worry, or anxiety
- Social or family isolation
- Difficulty coping with daily problems
What we do:
Healthy living is about striking a balance in all aspects of life; social, physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual. At Seeds of Success, we work with participants to set goals and achieve balance.
Weekly programs focus on achieving participant’s identified goals in a supportive, social, and welcoming environment.
