Let’s Get Social

Social connection is essential to mental health, and still too many people in Canada feel lonely.
This May 4–10, CMHA’s Mental Health Week invites us to COME TOGETHER, CANADA through small, everyday acts of connection.
Because connection strengthens mental health.
Connection …doesn’t have to be big to matter. Invite someone for a walk. Share a coffee. Start a conversation. Show up at a community event.
Little moments of coming together can create stronger relationships, stronger communities, and stronger mental health for everyone.
The more we reach out, check in, and come together, the stronger we all become.

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+) in Canada. The red dress symbolizes the lives lost and the absence of those who are missing. As we observe red dress installations and images in our community today, we are …called to reflect on the reality that more than six in ten (63%) Indigenous women have experienced physical or sexual assault in their lifetime in Canada.
Beyond a day of remembrance, today is a call to action to examine the ways we all can play a role in promoting safety, dignity, and systemic change for Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people.
Today, May 5th, Two Row Creeations is holding a memorial event from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM in Museum Square, Woodstock. All welcome.
For full event information, please visit their facebook page and consider ways you can support locally.

Today is the International Transgender Day of Visibility.
It’s a chance to recognize the presence, contributions and everyday lives of trans, non-binary and Two-Spirit people in our communities.
Today we take a moment to recognize trans lives in our community and consider what it looks …like to move from awareness to real action in our day to day, and we invite you to join us in this work!
It could mean speaking up when it’s safe to challenge misinformation or stigma.
It could mean sharing accurate resources or stories that reflect real experiences on your social media.
It could also mean supporting, donating or even volunteering with organizations doing this work in right here in Oxford County.
Never underestimate the positive impact of creating spaces where people feel respected and safe to be themselves.

It takes a Village! Or in this case, a County. 🫶
This week we closed our building for unexpected repairs, to ensure the highest level of safety for our staff and those who receive services. However, a closed building does NOT mean a stop to the important work that we do, so alternate …locations were required.
The willingness of so many community partners to provide space demonstrates our shared commitment here in Oxford County to keeping children, youth and families safe, strong, and connected.❤️
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to those who offered space, and more importantly, for being so dedicated to positive outcomes for families in our community.
Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts,
City of Woodstock,
Oxford County,
United Way Oxford,
Wellkin,
& Oxford YMCA.
