๐Ÿงก A Day of Truth and Reconciliation at Edmonton Centre of Hope ๐Ÿงก

A few days ago, our Edmonton Centre of Hope community came together for a meaningful and memorable day of Truth and Reconciliation. Staff and participants shared the day together in a spirit of learning, connection, respect, and community.

The day was filled with meaningful activities and opportunities to come together, including:

๐Ÿฅฃ Soup and bannock lunch โ€” sharing food and fellowship together.

๐ŸŽฒ Traditional games โ€” organized by our Recreation Team, bringing everyone together through fun and connection.

๐Ÿชถ Official ceremony with Elder Harold Rosche โ€” a meaningful time of reflection, learning, and gathering as a community.

๐Ÿฅ Big Drum Circle โ€” bringing our community together through rhythm, music, and shared experience.

๐ŸŒฟ Smudging โ€” closing the ceremony in a spirit of reflection and connection.

Staff and participants were encouraged to wear orange as a symbol of remembrance, awareness, and our shared commitment to reconciliation.

It was a powerful day of coming together, listening, learning, and building connections within our community. We are grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this day so meaningful. ๐Ÿงก

We would like to give a shoutout to Aidan, a staff member with our Transitional Housing Program Downtown, for her quick thinking, compassion, and willingness to step in when an individual experiencing an overdose was found outside our building.

๐ŸŒฟ Womenโ€™s Retreat 2026: JOY

What a beautiful weekend of joy, connection, healing, and encountering God! ๐Ÿ’›

Chaplain Danielle and Sandra had the privilege of partnering with Lynette and Amy from Salvation Army Castledowns Church to bring a group of women from ECOH to this yearโ€™s Womenโ€™s Retreat.

It was a joy to see the women relax in the beauty of the outdoors, reflect by the water, share laughter, worship, and simply enjoy being together. For many, stepping into an unfamiliar environment was a courageous step.

One participant shared:

โ€œIt gave my heart and soul a lift and what I needed to get my spirit through this next bit.โ€

The retreat encouraged us to stand firm on Godโ€™s Word, trust Him as we move forward, and not remain stuck in the past. The message of finding deeper joy and peace by resting in Jesus resonated deeply with many.

We were also grateful for the women from across The Salvation Army who came alongside our group with kindness, friendship, and encouragement. ๐Ÿค

Moments of laughter and tears, prayer and worship, reminded us that we do not walk alone.

We continue to pray that these women will keep walking toward Jesus, embracing hope, joy, and His peace every step of the way. ๐Ÿ™

Thank you to everyone who prayed, supported, volunteered, and helped make this weekend possible!

โ€œThe joy of the Lord is your strength.โ€ โ€“ Nehemiah 8:10 ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’™ Preventing Su***de: REACH Out to Help ๐Ÿ’™

Su***de thoughts, attempts, and deaths affect us all. Talking about su***de can feel difficult because of fear, shame, or guiltโ€”but a caring conversation can make a difference.

Together, we can help prevent su***de. Remember REACH:

๐ŸŒฑ R โ€” Recognize
Notice when someone may be struggling. They might talk about death or su***de, withdraw from others, lose interest in things they usually enjoy, give away belongings, or say they feel like a burden.

๐Ÿ’ฌ E โ€” Engage
Start a conversation with compassion. Listen without judgment, limit distractions, and let the person know you are there for them. You don't need to have all the answersโ€”sometimes simply listening matters most.

โ“ A โ€” Ask
If youโ€™re concerned, ask directly: โ€œAre you thinking about su***de?โ€
Asking about su***de does not put the idea into someone's mind. If they say yes, stay calm, thank them for telling you, and help them connect with support.

๐Ÿค C โ€” Connect
You don't have to do this alone. Help connect the person with the support they need.

๐Ÿ“ž Mental Health Help Line: 1-877-303-2642 โ€” available 24/7 to speak with a mental health therapist.
๐Ÿ“ž Health Link: 811 โ€” speak with a registered nurse or find services in your area.
๐Ÿšจ Immediate danger: Call 911 or go with the person to the nearest emergency department.

๐Ÿ’š H โ€” Heal
Remember to take care of yourself, too. Supporting someone through a difficult time can bring up strong emotions. Recognize when you need support, practice healthy coping strategies, and reach out when you need help.

You don't need to be an expert to make a difference. Recognize. Engage. Ask. Connect. Heal.

Sometimes, one conversation can be the beginning of hope. ๐Ÿ’™
