About Kapwa: Kapwa Counselling is a Toronto-based group therapy practice rooted in community care, cultural responsiveness, and making mental health more accessible. Kapwa is a Filipino concept meaning shared identity. We believe mental health support should feel like coming home.

Info: Check out local vendors, artists, and meet our Kapwa Therapists. All are welcome!

Info: In this introductory workshop led by art therapy student Drea, participants are invited to explore self-compassion using mixed media. By playful art journaling and mindfulness exercises, we will practice shifting the way we relate to ourselves with greater kindness.
Through art making and storytelling, participants can build practical tools for self-acceptance and self-love. No artistic experience is needed. All levels of art-makers are welcome.

Info: Experience a gentle introduction to music therapy in a welcoming and supportive environment. Bring yourself, your voice, and an openness to explore the therapeutic use of music and self-expression.
This workshop will include a grounding experience with a singing bowl, guided vocal exploration, music listening, and a collaborative songwriting activity led by Music Therapist Cynthia Fay.

Info: Sing your heart out, show off your talent, enjoy karaoke with your friends and new pals!
