Gentle Teaching Stories:

“I aspire to be a better person, more caring and loving.”

September 28, 2023/inBlog, Employment, Gentle Teaching, Stories

Gentle Teaching has transformed me as the person I am and as the person I aspire to be by making me an overall more understanding and caring person. I bring the aspects of Gentle Teaching into every part of my life by being mindful and making sure everyone I interact with feels safe, loved and respected and accepted regardless if I’m supporting, if I am at school, or with friends and family.

“The tools of Gentle Teaching: our hands, our eyes, our words and our presence, are tools that I bring into any relationship that I have in my life.”

I does not matter if I am supporting, spending time with people I am closest to or meeting new people, I always try and be mindful of the tools of Gentle Teaching. I aspire that one day the tools of Gentle Teaching will just be second nature for me, being mindful in the way I present myself and talk to people is very important to me because it helps people feel safe and comfortable.

The more I practice Gentle Teaching in my everyday life the easier it is for me to not just use the tools in mind, but for the tools to just became part of who I am and I am loving the person I become.

“For my three amazing years being part of the Creative Options Regina team and family it has definitely changed my way of thinking for the better.”

I know that everyone is fighting their own battles regardless of how their life looks from the outside. I have developed a greater sense of unconditional love, something I thought I had an abundance of before. Since getting the honour to spend many hours a week with individuals I serve I have been able to show and have been shown in return an unconditional love I didn’t know was possible, and with this I am able to unconditionally love all those around me.

I now base my relationships on unconditional love and I know that as I grow as a person and become older and more experienced in every aspect of my life I aspire to being more loving and more unconditional.

“Gentle Teaching aspires me to be a better person, to be more caring and loving.”

Every day I create a culture of gentleness wherever I am. I aspire to better myself and better those around me. I hope to one day be successful because I am a kind and caring person and I know for a fact that I am that way today and will continue to be that way because of Gentle Teaching. And for that I am extremely grateful.

Today we celebrate the health professionals who bring compassion, care, and reassurance into the lives of the people we support.

Whether it’s coordinating appointments, monitoring health and wellness, advocating for someone’s health needs, or simply taking the time to listen, our nurses play an important role in helping people feel safe, supported, and cared for.

We see the patience, kindness, and dedication you bring every day, and we’re so grateful for the meaningful impact you make in our community.

Thank you for all that you do!

Behind every moment of encouragement, connection and care is a DSP helping make it possible.

This Disability Support Professionals Week, we’re highlighting some of the many ways DSPs support people every day — often in ways that happen quietly behind the scenes, but make a lasting impact. It’s work rooted in connection, trust, and helping people feel safe, respected, and a welcomed member of their neighbourhood and community.

Thank you to all DSPs for the compassion, dedication, and care you bring every single day.

A little throwback for Mother’s Day! 💐

Behind the people at COR are moms who helped shape the kindness and care they bring into the world today.

Every person has someone who believed in them, supported them, and helped shape who they are along the way.

To the moms who helped raise the people behind COR, thank you!
