The Youth Engagement & Empowerment program is available
for youth and operates five days a week (Tuesday to
Saturday) and is free to register. Transportation and food are
provided. Participation is required, and our goal is to provide
a safe space where youth can develop self-esteem, leadership
skills, and healthy relationships. We offer evening, summer,
and Saturday day programs, including cultural activities and
on-the-land camps. We aim to reduce illegal behaviors and
drug use among indigenous youth and address their mental
health concerns. Our team includes Elders, youth workers, and
various facilitators. We care about urban Indigenous youth and
are here to help and support them and their families.

In April we recognize the National Day of Mourning, marked annually in Canada on April 28, dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives, suffered injury or illness on the job, or experienced a work-related tragedy. It is not only a day to remember and honour those lives lost or injured due to a workplace tragedy, but also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses and deaths. At Mont St. Joseph Home we work collectively to be the employer of choice for our staff.

Adjustable beds can enhance mobility by providing support for individuals with mobility issues, making it easier to get in and out of bed independently. By adjusting the bed’s position, users can find a comfortable angle for movement, aiding tasks like dressing or eating in bed. This increased independence can improve overall quality of life for those with mobility challenges, promoting a sense of autonomy and reducing reliance on assistance.

Beginning the process can be the most challenging, there is no right or wrong way, or to what extent you will declutter. Focus on taking care of yourself, doing what feels right, and not rushing. Some tips: set small, achievable goals; let go of guilt and remember removing belongings doesn’t weaken the connection or the memories; ask for help if you overwhelmed; consider if you will save things for yourself, for others, donate, sell, or throw away; remember giving your family a meaningful gift can be priceless. The process can itself be meaningful and is an opportunity to help you process grief.
