A new fiscal year begins

During a recent game of basketball, Ivan demonstrated what it truly means to be a great teammate. He made sure every participant had an opportunity to join in and take a turn, even choosing to give up his own turn so others could participate. His thoughtfulness and encouragement helped everyone feel included and welcomed.

Ivan consistently looks out for his teammates and leads by example through his positive attitude, caring nature, and willingness to support others. His smile, enthusiasm, and kindness make him a valued member of our program each and every day.

Thank you, Ivan, for reminding us that true leadership comes from lifting others up. We are proud to have you as part of the WCP family!

During one of our Get Safe classes, when multiple groups were gathered in the office, a participant from another group became overwhelmed and had difficulty regulating their emotions. At the same time, staff were assisting another participant who required immediate support. Recognizing the need, Eddie stepped in without hesitation. He engaged the participant in calm conversation, encouraged the use of breathing techniques, and provided reassurance. He also took the initiative to take the participants on a brief break, allowing them time to reset and return in a calmer state.

Eddie's actions exemplify the teamwork, compassion, and initiative that make our program successful. His willingness to step in, support fellow staff, and ensure participants receive the care and attention they need reflects our shared commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment.
