For this past Mother’s Day, FCJ Refugee Centre hosted a Creative Wellness Workshop to create a safe, welcoming and healing space for migrant women. Participants called the experience relaxing and therapeutic. We focused on connection, and self-care while building meaningful friendships in our community.

Special thanks to Carolina Gajardo for her time, kindness and support throughout the event.

What does community unity, solidarity, and resilience look like? The 𝙐𝙣𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 Learning Guide explores how storytelling serve as a tool for healing communities, families, and individuals affected by trauma. 🤝

Section 5 Echoes and Restorations – Healing Trauma Across Generations explores the concept of intergenerational trauma and highlights how storytelling can become a pathway to restoration. Students reflect on how communities can build unity to find healing through truth-telling, solidarity, and shared memory. 💞

We warmly recommend this lesson for supporting communities and healing trauma through storytelling. We hope you will share it widely.

We have resources to help you talk about gun violence in your classroom and community. We wish we didn't need to.

To educate yourself and start sensitive discussions around gun violence, we recommend Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, the story of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords.

The team that worked on our teaching resources for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down included gun violence survivors — and it shows. These materials are powerful, accessible and not political at all.

Our Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down Learning Guide also includes our Facilitation Guidelines for Group Discussions, to help students and communities voice things they need to talk about.

Like all of our resources, this guide is free for everyone.

1. I'm becoming more aware of the stories my mind likes to make up. Not reacting with anger.

2. I’m grateful that I’m not giving up on connection, even though it’s still hard for me to connect with people who think differently than I do.

3. Through this practice I am focused on growth, progress, healing, vulnerability, values, and love. Letting go of ego and performance.
