Birthing a child is an historic family occasion. It can be a very emotional, awesome and even stressful time for parents-to-be. The Wellness Centre is here to support you, especially in this unusual time.  Pandemic or not, everyone needs to be ready for baby’s arrival.

Get ready for birth by attending four Prenatal Information Meetings given by the perinatal team from Jeffery Hale Community Services.

Due to COVID-19 and the most recent government measures that will be in place, it is yet to be decided if the meetings will take place online or in person, or both.   The decision will be taken one month prior to the meetings.

For more details and to register for these meetings, please visit the webpage of Jeffery Hale Community Services.

Join us as we learn to cook some traditional Irish recipies, just in time for Saint-Patrick`s Day! Taste what you cooked and bring home a portion.

Mindfulness is the art and practice of of being fully aware of what’s happening in the moment – emotionally, cognitively, in any way!  It involves nourishing the capacity to be conscious of what you’re doing and of what is happening around you, as well as inside you, with open curiosity, kindness and an attitude of non-judgement.  Mindfulness can be particularly helpful during stressful times because it can help us step back from our stormy minds, procide a calmer perspective, and reveal healthier choices available to use.  It can also help when we need to focus on a difficult or complicated task by reducing the ‘chatter’ of our internal monologue.  While it may come naturally to some, mindfulness takes practice to master.

Join professional psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in-person at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for a 1.5-hour session in Mindfulness.
