Wellness Wednesday: Take an intentional break from your screens

Whether it's scrolling social media, gaming, texting, or watching videos, screens are a big part of everyday life. Taking a short, intentional break can give your mind a chance to reset and recharge.

Try putting your phone down for 15–30 minutes and use that time to:
• Go for a walk
• Read a book
• Do something creative
• Enjoy a quiet moment
• Connect with someone in person

You don't have to disconnect completely. Even a small break can help improve focus, reduce stress, and create more space for the things that help you feel your best.

Our Foundry Kamloops Capital Campaign is nearing the finish line! Your support is helping us create a welcoming space where youth can access health, wellness, and social supports close to home.

Thank you Association francophone de Kamloops!

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming children and staff from the Association Francophone de Kamloops Daycare to Foundry Kamloops for a tour of our new space and the presentation of proceeds from their recent Lemonade Stand Day fundraiser.

During their visit, the children took part in a fun activity exploring feelings and emotions. Using an outline of a person, they shared and illustrated things that make them feel happy and things that make them feel sad. It was a wonderful opportunity to start conversations about emotions and the importance of expressing how we feel.

Thank you to everyone who supported the lemonade stand and to the Association Francophone de Kamloops Daycare for your generosity and commitment to supporting youth in our community. We loved sharing the space with you and can't wait to welcome you back!

Wellness Wednesday: Take a moment to stretch!

When life gets busy, it's easy to spend hours sitting in class, at work, gaming, or scrolling. Taking a few minutes to stretch or move your body can help reduce tension, improve focus, and boost your energy.

Try:
➡️ Rolling your shoulders
➡️ Stretching your arms overhead
➡️ Taking a quick walk around the block
➡️ Standing up and moving between tasks

Remember, movement doesn't have to be intense to make a difference. Small moments of activity throughout the day can help support both your physical and mental well-being.

Our Foundry Kamloops Capital Campaign is coming to a close! Help us cross the finish line and create a welcoming space where youth can access health, wellness, and social supports close to home.

Wellness Wednesday!

You don't need to have everything figured out right now.

It's easy to look around and feel like everyone else has their life together, but the truth is that everyone is on their own journey. Try not to compare your progress to someone else's highlight reel.

Small steps are still progress.
Growth takes time.
It's okay to move at your own pace.

Whether you're working toward a goal, learning something new, or simply getting through a tough day, every step forward counts. Be patient with yourself. You're doing better than you think.

We're building a space where youth can access support, connection, and opportunities to grow at their own pace. Our Capital Campaign is coming to a close, and every donation helps us create a welcoming place where young people can find the support they need to thrive.

Wellness Wednesday Tip! Beat the Heat!

With temperatures soaring, now is a great time to take a little extra care of yourself. If you're spending time outdoors, remember to take regular breaks in the shade or cool indoor spaces, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, and avoid being in direct sun for long periods when possible.

Small steps can make a big difference when it comes to staying safe and feeling your best during hot weather.

We're also entering the final stretch of our Foundry Kamloops Capital Campaign!
If you've been considering making a donation, now is the time. Your support is helping us create a welcoming space where youth can access health, wellness, and social supports right here in our community.
