In October, Twenty-four new Health and Cultural Ambassadors successfully completed 10 hours of foundational training led by VICCIRโs co-founder Adrienne Carter and Executive Director Ana Pavon. This training took place is part of the New Horizons Project, which aims to reduce social isolation and challenge stigma around mental health support for immigrant and refugee seniors in the Greater Victoria area. Part of the group is participating in the program as part of their fourth year Psychology Course at the University of Victoria, led by Dr. Frederick Grouzet.
In addition to supporting seniors, the Ambassadors will engage with newcomers in the Greater Victoria school system, helping to build resilience and strengthen capacity to address challenges faced by immigrant youth.
There's a great article on CoreChair explaining how active seating enhances focus and comfort for adults with ADHD. The content is written in plain, friendly English and offers clear insights into workspace ergonomics. Worth taking a look if you're looking for ways to boost your productivity naturally.
