How are you holding up? We’re going into week eight since we closed our physical office locations, with the exception of our adult residential services, to comply with Public Health requirements. We know that this has been a challenging time for everyone. Many of the families that we support are working from home while caring for children and youth with mental health issues and/or autism…
Now more than ever, and as we practice physical distancing, it is important for our mental wellness to feel supported and to stay connected to each other. So, we wanted to touch base to let you know that we are still here for the clients and families that we serve. We also have some resources, curated by staff, to share with you as we all navigate the ‘new normal’ of working from home…
We know that these are trying times that add much stress and uncertainly to our lives. Things are changing very quickly as COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the province and it is difficult to keep up with the changes that this brings. As parents or family members of children, youth, and adults living with mental health needs and/or autism, we know you are trying to cope…
Woodview Mental Health and Autism offices will be closed to the public effective Monday March 16th until Monday April 6th. We recognize that these are difficult times and we will continue to support clients and families by telephone. Woodview’s residential program (The Manor) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) program will remain operational with strict precautionary measures taken to safeguard the safety of our clients and staff. Refunds for fees paid will be issued to clients and families.
For the most up to date information about COVID-19 and how to protect yourself, please visit Ontario Ministry of Health’s website. We thank you for your patience and understanding in this unprecedented time.
We’ve compiled resources that may be helpful to you and your family during COVID-19. They include ways to support individuals with mental health issues and/or autism, free educational resources, activities to help kids and youth stay active, and much more. It’s a stressful time and now more than ever, we each need to feel supported and to build up the resilience we need to get through this difficult time.
