Winter
Winter’s shorter days and low light can dampen mood and energy—especially for people newly immigrating to Canada, who are also adjusting to culture, routines, and support networks. If you notice feeling lower or more tired, try simple home practices: open blinds early, sit near a bright window, keep a steady sleep schedule, move gently each day, and add small “warmth rituals” (tea, music, calls with loved ones). A daylight lamp used in the morning may also help. And if the heaviness lingers, counselling can offer a safe, culturally aware space—in English or Spanish—to feel supported and build a plan that fits your life.
