Gentle Teaching Stories:

The Gentle Teaching philosophy has such a unique meaning and purpose in everyone’s life

September 28, 2023/inBlog, Employment, 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 for over a year now and am constantly reminded in my day-to-day life of the positive impacts Gentle Teaching has had on my life. Gentle Teaching has not only shown 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, the conversations, 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.

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.

Trent,

COR Family Member

“Caring is looking at something, reflecting on how we do it, and challenging ourselves: how can we do it better?”

June 21st is National Indigenous People’s Day. We acknowledge and celebrate the incredible stories, teachings, and contributions from the Indigenous people within our COR community. Jessica, our Indigenous Cultural Advisor, has been integral to the innovation that has led us to raising our very own accessible Teepee. Together, we painted the canvas, gather in ceremony, and have created one more space where everyone is included.

In celebration of Father’s Day, members of the COR family are sharing some of the lessons they’ve learned from their dads! These lessons have stayed with them through the years and helped shape who they are today.

To all the dads, grandpas, and father figures in our community, thank you and Happy Father’s Day!

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is often called an invisible disability, but its impact is very real.

Dillon, a FASD facilitator at COR Academy shares why understanding FASD matters and how shifting our perspective can help us better support the people in our lives and communities.

One of the key takeaways from the workshop is moving from a mindset of "they won't" to "they can't right now." By understanding the brain-based challenges that can come with FASD, we can approach situations with greater empathy, patience, and compassion.

Unity Sweepstakes is back, with an exciting new twist! 🎉 

COR is proud to continue our partnership with Unity Sweepstakes, a fundraising initiative that empowers organizations across Canada while giving participants the chance to win big and give back!

Here's the new twist:

Every week, one lucky winner takes home a guaranteed $5,000 cash prize. Plus, you'll have a chance to unlock the Progressive Vault for even more cash! When you purchase your tickets, you'll choose a 5-switch combination. If you're selected as the weekly winner, your combination will be matched against the Vault code.

The more switches you match in order, the more of the Vault you unlock:
🔐 1 match = 10%
🔐 2 matches = 20%
🔐 3 matches = 30%
🔐 4 matches = 50%
🔐 5 matches = 100%

And here's the exciting part: if the Vault isn't fully unlocked, the remaining prize money rolls over and grows for the next draw!

Every ticket purchased in support of COR helps us continue creating opportunities for connection, inclusion, and community.

🗓️ The deadline for this week's draw is June 16, with the winner announced on June 17.

🎟️ Visit the link in our bio to get your tickets today!
