In the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic many of us are feeling anxious and lonely. Marginalized populations have been particularly affected.
“The pandemic is widening persistent mental health inequities and making things worse for those who were already vulnerable due to experiences of marginalization,” says lead researcher Emily Jenkins, a professor of nursing at UBC who studies mental health and substance use. “When we strain all the parts of daily living—healthcare, childcare, schooling, job security—we see the direct, negative effects on people’s mental health.”
We will be strategically seeking collaborators and partners to support our mission in under-served areas. If your business is seeking a strategic relationship with a non-profit whose mission is to acknowledge the critical nature of early childhood learning, the necessity of living wages for Teachers, and the development of resilient families, we want to hear from you. Building resiliency in individuals and families is good for employers, neighbours, schools and communities. We all win when we feel we belong-somewhere.
We hope to attract long term employees who align with Elowyn’s philosophy. At Elowyn you can expect a supportive environment, competitive wages and a director who is striving for deep, reflective practice where we value time to create curriculum together inspired by the BCELF and practices of Reggio Emilia.
