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.

Over the past few weeks, we were thrilled to welcome more than 200 community members through the doors of the new Foundry Kamloops centre during our series of open houses.

It was incredible to see so many people take the time to tour the space, learn about Foundry, ask questions, and share in the excitement of what’s to come. These events were a wonderful opportunity to connect with youth, families, partners, and community members as we prepare to open our doors.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these events such a success. We can't wait to welcome youth into this space and begin providing integrated health, wellness, and social supports right here in Kamloops. 💙

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to opening!

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.

Recently, members of our Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) had the opportunity to tour the new Foundry Kamloops space for the very first time!

From the beginning, our YAC has played an instrumental role in helping shape what Foundry Kamloops will become. Through sharing ideas, providing feedback, and helping guide important decisions, their voices have helped create a centre that reflects the needs, priorities, and experiences of young people in our community.

This isn't just a space for youth, it's a space that has been built with youth, for youth.

Thank you to our YAC members for your passion, leadership, and commitment to making Foundry Kamloops a welcoming place where young people can feel supported, connected, and empowered!

Wellness Wednesday Tip! Try something new this week.

Getting out of your routine can be a great way to boost your mood, build confidence, and discover new interests.

Try:
• Visiting a new place in your community
• Making a new recipe
• Trying a new hobby or activity
• Learning a new skill
• Exploring a new walking route

You don't have to be an expert or get everything right the first time. Sometimes the best part is simply giving something new a chance.

We're building a space where youth can explore new opportunities, connect with others, and access support when they need it.
By supporting the Foundry Kamloops Capital Campaign, you're helping create a welcoming place where young people can learn, grow, and thrive.
