Do you have the winter blues?

In Alberta, we’ve been experiencing a particularly frigid period, with intense cold forcing many of us, whenever possible, to stay indoors and away from the chill. The cold days are short. The nights are long. And the mood? Well…it’s just bleh. 

We all have random days where the weather gets us down and we feel uninspired and struggle to find motivation to be productive. But for some, the winter weather can take a deeper toll on our mental health.

January is Mentorship Month in Canada

Mentorship has a profound impact on our community. It supports both personal and professional growth, and helps with the well-rounded development of people.

We are proud to have a comprehensive mentorship program in Wood Buffalo, operated through Some Other Solutions. We build resilience in children and our young people by fostering trust and empowerment, enhancing self-worth, refining communication skills and teaching effective coping skills.

Meet our Mentors

In the spirit of Mentorship Month, we want to introduce you to two of our mentors at Some Other Solutions!

“May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.”
