O, H & S Wellness World

The O, H & S Committee attended the first annual Hearts & Hands Conference designed to recognize the dedication of care givers and support workers in the various positions in BC. Discussions included keeping our energy levels high and taking time for ourselves.  The conference was upbeat and energetic with lots of door prizes and give aways.  Other topics included  Baggage and Boundaries with regards to care givers, Dementia with some role playing involved so participants developed a better understanding of this very complex illness.  All in all the conference was very informative and a successful fun experience.

 Henry House News
 
The team at Henry House celebrated a joint birthday since all the guys have
October birthdays. Robert's family was especially happy as this was his first party ever with friends. Robert moved into Henry House this past summer and is settling in very nicely; he's made a great addition to Henry House. Though he has been welcomed by all of his housemates Rob has found a special bond with Steve who seems to have taken on a "big brother" role.

 CLBC's Widening Our World (WOW) Awards

Every year, Community Living BC's Widening Our World (WOW) Awards celebrate the different ways people are building inclusion across B.C. 

The WOW awards are intended to show everyone in B.C. what an inclusive community looks like. When you nominate someone for a WOW Award, we are asking you to answer questions about how the person(s) you are nominating is making their community a place where people of all abilities are valued and respected.

We know people are doing this work all across the province. Whether it is an employer, teacher, support worker, volunteer, self advocate or someone else breaking down barriers, we are looking to you to tell us about it - and show us what it looks like!
