b'For our clients, this was all without the resources, tools, personal network - or even physical space - to achieve it. With every family in a single room, not being able to leave, it took an added toll on our children too.The kids have a different level of stress.They dont play with kids around.They dont go outside and get their energy out. - Mariela Chipoco, Child & Youth Counsellor -We needed to find new ways to be there. Redefine presence. Let our clients and our staff teams know they are not alone. That the support is still there. And that its okay not to be okay, no matter who you are.I feel in my gut, that a lot of women are swallowing this stress. - Victoria Roth, Trauma Counsellor - Day-to-day programming and logistics like housing applications were put on hold. Now, both physical and mental health were the only real concerns. Working together the staff created wellness check-ins, phone communication structure, and found ways to manage their now-single-shifted lives to support not only our clients, but each other. We had to find new ways to collaborate and brainstorm. Work together on any given situation,challenge, or even personal frustration or stress even when we cant physically be together. Because in the end, this wasnt temporary. And we were building something new for our future.'
