And therefore the opportunity to travel to the Art Gallery of Burlington to work with the Paul Hansell Foundation in creating our very own #ConvoPlate was a very important experience for most of our youth!
Creating their own #ConvoPlate made them feel empowered in engaging in their own conversations about mental health indoors and in their communities.
To Brian Hansell for the important work he is doing in the community, with an intention to purchase tickets to our fundraising dinner call ‘905 929 Routes’ outh and Staff are very grateful to the Paul Hansell foundation for providing funding to allow the trip to Burlington to be possible. Routes may be presenting our very own #ConvoPlate at our Fundraiser Dinner Silent Auction, Friday February 24thThe theme of the event is youth mental health and titled Youth Under Pressure. You see, women who are depressed report more physical symptoms than men. Fact, often women are socialized to express their feelings in certain ways, and not others. Now this can result in their mental health problems looking different than men’s, that is often categorized by the medical field as atypical.
At Routes Youth Centre, we like to think of ourselves as a hub.
Routes is a community where talking about mental health is encouraged, constructive, honest and most importantly safe!
Loads of which all begin with a conversation, Youth from all over Dundas Ontario come to Routes for many different reasons. These more serious conversations happen often in our space as we make a point to start them! Routes Youth Centre is a drop in and mentoring centre for youth aged 8We spend our days engaging in conversations with our youth. For instance, youth of day are experiencing depression and anxiety younger and younger and having these conversations with them is crucial!
Sometimes these conversations perhaps mundane or surface level but it’s these friendly, light conversations that lay the foundation for also having those more in depth and trusting conversations.
Women are more often the primary caregivers in families and can experience stress balancing their multiple roles.
While women may share many health concerns with men, they have unique ‘health care’ needs. Now this pass is setting up an important goal. Exciting. It’s possible to give yourself top-notch opportunity to cope with it, it may not be possible to avoid stress. It’s an interesting fact that the mental health advantages of exerciseA good workout doesn’t just benefit your physical fitness.
