This was shared with me through my professional association (CCPA). I am sharing here to get the word out to those who may qualify for this research study. Knowledge is power, and your voice matters, so I hope you will participate if you qualify.

"Over the last two years, we have conducted research examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to counselling with low-income clients from the perspective of service providers. We are contacting you today as we are beginning the third phase of this research that is examining the perspectives of clients on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on counselling for clients who self-identify as experiencing low-income and have accessed counselling services within the past year. We are looking for individuals and organizations offering counselling services that would be interested in supporting the recruitment of clients for this phase of the research.

We have attached the recruitment flyer to this email. Please post this in a place where it will be visible to clients. We are looking for clients who meet the following criteria:
1) Identify as experiencing low-income
2) Are 18 or older
3) Have accessed counselling services within the past year

Participants are invited to contact the research team if they are interested in participating and an individual Zoom interview lasting approximately 30 minutes will be arranged. Participants will have the option to join the Zoom virtually using the internet, or by calling into the Zoom by telephone. Participants will be asked demographic questions and questions relating to their experiences of counselling and the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on their access to counselling. All participants will be compensated with a $50 gift card for their participation.

If you would like more information or have any questions, please contact

Charlotte Finnigan, Project Coordinator, via email at ccarri3@uwo.ca or telephone at 226-268-6810
Dr. Jason Brown via email at jbrow97@uwo.ca or telephone at 519-661-2111 extension 8861"

When you’re working but your cat has other plans. I might need to consider a raised laptop desk to accommodate his naps. It would be mean if I kicked him off right?

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

I am part of the 1 in 4 that has experienced pregnancy loss. I have always believed it is important for those of us who have experienced this loss to share our stories when we're able. It is our stories that connect us, lift us up, and let us know that we are not alone. For some, hearing your story will provide healing and peace, or perhaps education and preparedness that one day may help them to navigate a loss with just a little more strength.

If you have a story to share, it would be my honour and privilege to listen.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep thank you for continuing to spread awareness and support to those who have had to say goodbye far too soon.

Today is International Wave of Light! At 7pm your local time zone, light a candle in honor of your baby(ies) or babies you are thinking of extra this month. Come back and share a photo with us in the comments of the candle you light today.
