Good Sunny Morning!

v  The Primary Care Network has launched a campaign to help fight social isolation in a simple, and yet impactful way – by saying “hello”.  Just because we are staying 6 feet apart and wearing a mask doesn’t mean we can’t say, hello. You can follow along on Instagram adding your own greeting using the hashtag #SayHelloBurnaby and following @SayHelloBurnaby. There is a virtual gala on January 28th at 7pm to raise funds and awareness of the Say Hello Burnaby campaign. For more information on this clever campaign, check out Say Hello Burnaby | Home.

v  I read an interesting article this morning in Halifax Today outlining some really helpful strategies on how to personally navigate the pandemic. You can read the full article here, but to start you off, here’s a couple offerings:

1.       Stay socially connected with people you care about and love. Phone calls, texts, FaceTime, skype and even snail mail can keep our social connections in tack helping us feel together.

2.       Establish and maintain a sense of agency – getting into a routine is a powerful way to accomplish this!

v  The Power of Play – Book a Wednesday morning one-on-one play session with me, Anita – Enjoy a private play space with your little one as I coach and model child-led play, establishing healthy boundaries, turn taking and so much more with parents/caregivers and their child. Call/text or email, 604-723-9548 or email aolson@fsgv.ca to see availability.

 

Have a lovely sunny Monday!
