Gentle Teaching Stories: “It has such a unique meaning and purpose in everyone’s life.”

Gentle Teaching Stories:

“It shines a light on the needs and emotions of others to ensure they feel safe.”

July 25, 2023/inBlog, Gentle Teaching, Stories

Gentle Teaching has genuinely transformed the person I am today, but most importantly, the person I am continuously working to become. I have been with COR over a year now and am constantly reminded in my day to day life the positive impacts Gentle Teaching has had on my life. It has not only showed me a fundamentally different way of approaching life here at COR, but it has allowed me to approach my everyday life differently.

Through my training, through the conversations, within my education, and through my supportive role here at COR I have been exposed to the importance of empathy. Gentle Teaching has indisputably opened my eyes to the ability to understand why individual people react in the ways they do, and to have the skills to foster relationships that can work collaboratively with people to become happier and healthier.

“The Gentle Teaching philosophy has such a unique meaning and purpose in everyone’s life, and I believe that is the pure beauty in it.”

For me, I have grasped raising Gentle Teaching as a way of living, not only for myself but so that I can positively make my mark on each person I encounter. Gentle Teaching has embedded in me the importance to take on every day with the hopes of lifting others up through collaboratively and patiently working together.

Applying Gentle Teaching to my everyday life has been a transformation I could have never imagined when I began here at COR. I have learned to value each person for who they are genuinely, but more importantly, to live a life of empowering each other. I have always been a team-oriented person. With the addition of this philosophy, they want for the empowerment of everyone around me, they strive to build everyone’s confidence with their own identity, and their meaning is amplified.

A great weekend at the Queen City Marathon! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A big congratulations to the COR employees and people we support who took part in this year’s events. It was wonderful to see everyone out there challenging themselves, cheering each other on, and enjoying the experience together.

Thank you to the Queen City Marathon organizers (@runqcm @runreginaqcm) and volunteers for another fantastic event.

For Diana, it’s a chance to meet other support workers, share ideas, and keep learning from one another.

If that sounds like the kind of space you’d like to be part of, we’d love to see you at PSD CON!

Serving up some beach volleyball before summer slips away! 🏐☀️

Did you know the University of Regina has beach volleyball courts? We made our way over for some friendly competition, and safe to say, everyone came ready to play. 😎

Big thanks to the U of R for having us!

Knowing how to recognize when someone may be struggling and feeling confident enough to offer support are skills that can matter in ways we may not always see.

Rachelle shares more about Mental Health First Aid Certification, what you can expect from the training and why building these skills can make such a difference in how we recognize, respond to and support those around us.

“If you’re only taking care of or cared for, then where’s your ability to grow? It’s more about evolving together as a community than one person caring for another. That’s a shift.”

Back on the pitch for our 3rd Annual Cricket Day 🏏

We had a great time at Douglas Park Cricket Pitch learning more about the game, practicing our skills, and giving cricket a go together!

A big thank you to the Cavaliers Cricket Club, the oldest cricket club in Regina, for sharing their love of the game with us and teaching us the ropes!
