Expecting a baby in the midst of a pandemic is certainly not something any of us ever wished for!  It is, however, a current reality for many local English-speaking parents-to-be.  The Wellness Centre is here to support you in this highly unusual time.

We’re in the process of setting up a FREE  online session  with Camille Nadeau, a bilingual doula, to take place on April 8, 2020. Learn all about Camille in a recent article about her in the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph newspaper. Our goal  is to answer your questions and help better prepare you for labour and delivery as you welcome your little one.  We also hope to help you connect with other expectant parents who are living the same reality.

Topics to be covered

Camille Nadeau will cover these topics in this online doula session:

• The current situation in the local obstetric system at CHUL, SFA and the MDN de la Capitale-Nationale.
• How to prepare for the ideal birth you had in mind given this new reality.
• Tips and advice on how to handle stress before, during and after delivery.
• Suggestions for your life partners: tips to help them during labour.

Questions to get to you know you better

To make the session as useful to you as possible, please answer these questions when you register by email:

1. Where are you giving birth?
2. What is your due date?
3. Is this your first birth?  If not, what are the ages of your other children?
4. Are you planning to breastfeed?
5. Are you planning on a natural birth, or are you open to analgesics or anaesthesia?
6. Write down three words to describe your ideal birth.
7. Tell us your biggest concern.
8. Other questions? And remember, parents-to-be, there is no such thing as a silly question!

Special notes and how to register

No personal, medical questions: please keep those to ask your doctor or midwife.

Each session is limited to 10 families, so register today by emailing Jan Anderson, Community Organizer: janderson@jhpartners.net and don’t forget to include your answers to the above questions!

Join us for an informative videoconference session dealing with the subject of  Elder Abuse.  Mistreatment is a single or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person. It can take many forms and be intentional or unintentional. Sometimes mistreatment  can be  hard

to recognize or assess. It’s important for us to become more aware and protect ourselves and others from elder abuse,  ageism and mistreatment. Learn more about this important subject with  François Desmeules, CIUSSSCN Social Worker and Facilitator with the It’s Not Right! outreach program.

Do you feel  bit like a cocooned  caterpillar in the midst of  these unusual pandemic circumstances ? What if you took this time to empower yourself by linking with other caregivers?

Consider joining  a series of online caregiving  sessions to help you  face the future with a new mind set and greater resilience for what lies ahead.  All you need is a smart phone, tablet or laptop with webcam. You can also join by landline, if you prefer.

Our facilitator Jeannie Potter, Interpersonal  Coach, former occupational therapist with a specialty in mental health and a caregiver herself, will guide participants  through the following sessions.

Session 1 – April 22:            Moving Beyond Survival Mode

Accept the invitation to dream bigger. Identify what you would like to have more of in life and what you want less of, especially in this unusual period of confinement and reflection. Recognize what drains you? Provide and obtain support from other caregivers while learning to value those things that are personally motivating and energizing.

Session 2 – May 13:             Exploring Stressors and Strengths

Discover how to use your strengths to creatively manage personal and collective problems and challenges. Learn how to develop  new strategies to thrive in the midst of a pandemic.

Session 3 – June 10 :             Supporting  Yourself in Difficult Times

Explore researched practices that involve changing our brain and behaviour through new mindsets and experiences. Learn how to support yourself and others in life-changing ways.

EPIQ Volunteer, Dana invites you to  celebrate the summer solstice with a cleansing spa night. Now more than ever is a great time to cleanse ourselves inside and out while welcoming this wonderful time of year. So put on your comfy summer jammies, grab a glass of whatever quenches your thirst, and join  in on  an interactive vitual spa night.

Dana will be giving a hair mask tutorial with the ingredients listed below. We may also do facials and a tutorial on “dry brushing”. Many of the ingredients for the mask and facial you probably already have in the house, and if not can pick up cheaply and easily at  your local  pharmacy or grocery store.

Registration by noon on the Friday prior is  necessary since our get together will be done via teleconferencing and we need to send you the login details.

Hair Mask Ingredients:

• Coconut oil
• Pink Himalayen salt (or any salt that is not fine. Himalayen sea salt works too!)
• Tea tree, lavender, peppermint or rosemary essential oil
• You will need a bowl and a towel

Face Mask Ingredients:

If you already have a mask –  use that!   If not then you’ll need:

• Honey
• Oats (preferably big oats)

If you have micellar  water, toner, and moisturizer, please have close at hand as well. If you do not have a dry bush ,that’s ok!  Dana will explain the proper way to use one. Any questions – feel free to contact her.

The Wellness Centre is offering a series of four art therapy sessions this fall for caregivers who have lost a loved one. Art therapist, Sophie Lessard-Latendresse will guide participants as they process and release emotions related to their individual losses while encouraging them to make sense of their feelings. These art therapy sessions will provide a safe place to honor and remember lost loved ones. It can help guide grieving caregivers towards transformation as they allow themselves time to process the significance of this journey.
