Who We Are
Tantalus Wellspring Society (TWS) is a Squamish-based registered charity committed to bridging gaps in mental health and wellness services. TWS grew out of the identified need for affordable mental healthcare in our community. Our aim is to ensure all community members have access to both preventative and responsive support and services. We are committed to helping empower people in their own mental well-being by providing access to activities that support mental wellness through community-based workshops and activities. We are also committed to ensuring that individuals, families, couples and youth have access to qualified therapists.
What We Do
We recognize that access to services which support mental wellbeing is limited and as a result, many community members are unable to access preventative, holistic and responsive clinical services provided by qualified practitioners. TWS aims to ensure that every member of our community has access to these services and help bridge funding gaps for individuals and families that may slip through the cracks.
How We Help
Squamish and the Sea To Sky corridor are fortunate to have an abundance of highly skilled practitioners able to offer an array of services that support mental health and wellness. TWS has been working with some of the amazing and talented mental health and wellness practitioners in our community for the past few years. Together we have been able to provide members of the community with access to an array of learning opportunities including counseling, yoga and meditation, grounding and shielding, walking the medicine wheel, dental care, healthy communication and music therapy, to name a few. We also spearhead two primary projects, Empowerment & Choice and The Collaboration Project. (Learn more about those projects below.)
Empowerment and Choice
Counseling Support for Youth, Families and Individuals
We envision a community where mental health supports are financially accessible to all community members. If you require financial assistance to access professional mental health services, subsidies are available through Tantalus Wellspring Society’s Empowerment and Choice Counselling Program. There are many excellent therapists practicing in the Sea-to-Sky region, with whom we have partnered to work under this program, and we are happy to provide a list of these therapists upon request.
Due to support from community members, Greg Gardner, 100 Women Who Care (Squamish) and the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, we are able to open to intakes for 2026.
