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.

For Jana, PSD CON is about creating space for people to talk openly about sexuality, disability and inclusion, while challenging the assumptions that can too often shape how people with intellectual disabilities are seen.

Join us this November as we continue creating space for learning, connection and conversations that can change the narrative!

Things got a little gourd-geous at the COR Studio! 🎃

A little pumpkin carving turned into some seriously spooky masterpieces, with just the right amount of creative chaos. 👻

Throughout DEAM, we’ve had the chance to share stories from 4to40 employees and the employers helping create workplaces where people feel supported, valued and part of the team.

From the work they do every day to the relationships and connections built along the way, each story offers a look at what meaningful, inclusive employment can look like.

Catch up on the stories we’ve shared and learn more about the people and workplaces behind them.

Every child deserves to grow up believing that employment is a part of their future. 
The City of Regina is home to many incredible businesses. Some are large enterprises and some are small shops open on the weekends. In celebration of DEAM, we spent the month of October capturing stories and insight from so many of those employers who have taken a chance on an employee experiencing a disability. It also means that they took a chance on us at COR, the 4to40 team, and the Campus For All program @uofreginaofficial 

We extend our gratitude to all of our inclusive employment partners.🧡🩵

Roger enjoys the people he works with at Farm Credit Canada ( @fccagriculture ) and the different ways his role lets him contribute.

One part of his work he’s especially proud of is helping prepare computers through an FCC community initiative before they’re sent out to schools. It’s one part of his role that makes the work especially meaningful to him.

Throughout DEAM, we’re celebrating 4to40 employees like Roger and the workplaces where people can feel connected, supported and proud of their work.

🔗 Read Roger’s story and more from FCC through the link in our bio.
