Mental health and getting through this together
<p><strong>Guest: Sabrina Moosa of Kerry’s Place Autism Services </strong></p><p>We are all multi-dimensional as developmental services workers. We don’t want to bring our stress from work into our homelife, and we don’t want to bring stress from our homelife into our work! We bring our own communities with us to our work – and this week’s episode we have discussion about mental health, and how we are human in our work! Sabrina discusses her passion for bringing wellbeing skills to her community as a South Asian woman with family from Pakistan, as well as her work in developmental services. Sabrina shares some details about what aspects of mental health interest her. Sabrina also speaks as a front line worker about how much she appreciates the pandemic pay to help her get through the 12 hour pandemic group home shifts with no days off. We all hope that pay increase continues after the pandemic! Developmental staff are worth it! </p><p><strong>About Sabrina Moosa </strong></p><p>Sabrina is a direct service professional at Kerry’s Place Autism Services. She is a master's student in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, and she did a post-grad certificate in addictions and mental health from Durham College.

Days Like This – Music as a Reminder!
<p><strong>Guest: Adriana McVicker of Community Living Windsor</strong></p><p>We know it’s a challenge helping staff get feet on the ground after working 12 hours shifts – day in day out. We also know the pandemic WILL shift and we will slowly regain more normalcy, and staff will be able to take some well deserved time off. In the meantime, how do we help our staff take a breath, feel valued. In this episode, we meet Adriana McVicker from Community Living Windsor. Adriana shares with us some of the ways she and her team have been supporting staff during the hard times of Covid. Adriana talks about the Conscious Care model, and the power of a song – how her organization shares links with uplifting songs from artists like Van Morrison. They are also offering Mindfulness sessions for staff online. We close the session out with a mindfulness meditation from Adriana. </p><p><strong>About Adriana</strong></p><p>Adriana is a proud daughter, sister and auntie who lives in Windsor ON. For the last 13 years, has worked with a service provider in developmental services in various roles including direct support and in positions of management including support services, staff development and project management.

Connecting with culture on the Six Nations Reserve
<p><strong>Guest: Joel Jamieson from Community Living Six Nations</strong></p><p>Joel Jamieson shares his journey of growing up with his sister with Down syndrome, and learning to show her how to use the washer and dryer using colourful stickers, when he was 10 years old. Joel’s love for his sister comes through in his commitment to supporting people with disabilities in his career which has brought him to supervising community inclusion at Community Living on the Six Nations reserve. Joel teaches us some Oneida greetings, and shares examples of how connecting with culture has been so important for folks on the reserve. Joel loves golfing, so Sue closes with a guided meditation using the imagery of the greens one would see in the nature of a golf course. </p><p><strong>About Joel</strong></p><p>Joel Jamieson is a <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haudenosaunee" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Haudenosaunee</a>, or Iroquois native from Oneida of the Thames. He has worked 35 years with community living with 3 different agencies. Joel’s sister Gwen has Down syndrome, and calls Joel every single night at 7pm, just like clockwork. Joel’s life as a brother to Gwen has fueled his passion in developmental services, and has led him to a life with this work, including his current position as community inclusion supervisor at CLSN. </p><p><strong>Community Living Six Nations: </strong><a href="http://communitylivingsixnations.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://communitylivingsixnations.ca/</strong></a></p>
