SUMMARY:Musical Explorations with Accredited Music Therapist\, Emily Brown
DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO:   « Back to all events \nMusic therapy is a practice in which a professional uses music to help individuals comfortably grow\, express\, explore\, and play. Music can address emotional\, social\, spiritual and physical needs in a fun\, exciting and engaging way! \nEach session is an hour-long\, and welcomes individuals with any musical interests or abilities! Together\, we sing\, dance\, improvise\, explore instruments (including homemade)\, listen to\, and discuss beloved songs. \nAlthough our main goal in music therapy is to have an enjoyable time\, it must be known that an individual may experience unease in certain musical programs\, activities\, and discussions. This is due to the emotional nature of many musical pieces. (For example\, some songs might make an individual feel sad\, frustrated\, or angry). Music therapy can provide an individual with a safe space to address ANY feelings that may arise in a session. That said\, if an individual is finding they are not comfortable in Music Therapy\, they can withdraw from the services at any time. \nDuring these turbulent times\, music can serve as a universal comfort to help bring us together and navigate the changes in the world. Not to mention\, it can provide a great distraction from the everyday challenges we are all facing. Join us for an inclusive\, interactive\, musical experience! \nYou can contact Emily through her website www.buzzingbeemusic.org. \nPLEASE NOTE: For this event\, you’ll need a phone\, tablet or laptop and the zoom app. \n  \nClick Here to Join us on zoom  The password is “zoom”. \nOr from the Zoom app\, enter the Meeting ID 835 2689 1467.

SUMMARY:FSI Learning Explorations - Sexual Health
DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO:   « Back to all events \nJoin us on June 2 for  Sexual Health \n“Let’s talk about sexuality” – this phrase offers up a wide range of possibilities – along with a host of anxieties. As a parent of a child with a disability\, this is dreaded while at the same time recognized as an important part of parenting and of your child’s life. This workshop provides an opportunity for parents\, in a supportive setting\, to explore some of their fears and anxieties and curiosities in a safe environment. This is to begin the courageous conversation around ensuring that individuals being supported – are not only safe from sexual exploitation but also have the correct support and information to embrace that part of who they are and how they interact in relationships with others. In this workshop you will learn how to approach the topic of sexuality and relationships. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nLearn different ways in which you can find current information about sexuality and health and feel comfortable discussing sexuality\nExamine your personal beliefs and values of sexuality and critically consider what you are/are not able to discuss with your family member yourself.\nPromote relationship developing skills and perspectives with your family member\nDemonstrate tangible take away tips\n\n  \nClick Here to Register!  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \nRachel Skidmore is a mother of two unbelievable daughters. They teach her every day things that she did not know.The topic of sexuality and sexual health has always been important to her\, and the importance of it grew when she found out she was going to have daughters of her own. It then grew exponentially when Rachel discovered her youngest daughter was going to be in the highest vulnerability category. She has had the honour of sharing this presentation with families\, self advocates\, and with service providers whilst engaging in dialogue with people about why it is so important we break down the taboo of discussing sexuality and sexual health. Watching each family follow their own path because\, sex\, sexual health\, gender are ingrained into our family values and each family presents it in their own unique way to their family member.
