A new hospitality industry peer support system recently launched in Calgary and aims to provide mental health education and resources to the city’s foodservice community. the Hospitality Healing Project was created by a group of hospitality alumni who now provide mental health and chronic pain services at the Calgary location wise mind.
Some of the complementary services of the Hospitality Healing Project include 15-minute consultations, a resource toolkit, Sunday peer support sessions, walks and talks with industry advocates, and an HHP hotline, along with a selection of services subsidized such as one-on-one counseling sessions and group therapy sessions.
“The Hospitality Healthing Project allows us to give back to those currently working in the hospitality space where many of us started,” says SABI Mind co-founder Heesoo Cho. “This initiative was built on the pillars of increased mental health awareness, alternative forms of healing, and education on mental health issues that should be more mainstream within the hospitality industry.”
