How Creative Options Supports People With Disabilities in Regina

July 25, 2023/inBlog, Gentle Teaching, Media

“In a culture of gentleness, interactions are warm, welcoming and aimed at nurturing relationships based on equality and interdependence. Our focus is on building a sense of companionship and community with those we serve.”

The above quotation from Michael Lavis, CEO outlines the philosophy here at Creative Options Regina. At COR our main focus is to ensure that people we support feel safe, valued and respected.  Creative Options started in 2009 in order to provide personalized support services to people with intellectual disabilities and often a mental health diagnosis.  COR helps individuals who need access to multiple services by connecting individuals to whatever services they need in the community.

For an in depth look and a better understanding of the philosophy and stories of the many people who benefit from COR services and opportunities take a look at the full article here on My Toast Life.

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.

One of the best parts of PSD CON is getting to connect with people who care about the same work you do!

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!

Celebrating some of the incredible people in our #CORfam who have helped us welcome new faces to the team through their referrals! 🎉

The Golden Ticket is our way of saying thank you to employees who refer someone who goes on to join our team. The ticket can be exchanged for some awesome COR merch from 22Fresh and Hardpressed! It’s a little celebration of the people who help our family grow. 

We’re grateful to everyone who continues to share their experience and help us connect with more amazing people.

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.”
