We’re excited to share some new additions to the Pop-Up Pantry for our members at Laing House! ✨🧼

Thanks to a generous grant from the Halifax Youth Foundation, we’re now stocking household cleaning products, giving our members the tools to care for their space. Because sometimes, a clean home can make a big difference in how we feel.

We’re also continuing to distribute menstrual products, donated by United Way during Menstrual May, to ensure youth and young adults in our community have access to the essentials they need.

Recently, Laing House Program Manager Walter DeLong had the pleasure of joining the amazing team at Power House Youth Centre for a Pride-themed cooking program!

Together with youth from the centre, he rolled up some rainbow salad rolls packed with fresh veggies and colourful edible flowers, a delicious celebration of diversity and connection!

Walter also shared info about Laing House and the support we offer for youth and young adults navigating mental health conditions. Like Laing, Power House is a welcoming space where youth and young adults can be themselves, find community, and just be.

Big thanks to Power House for having us! We’re always proud to stand alongside organizations that create safe, inclusive spaces for our community! 💛

Be sure to check out their summer programming running every Thursday until Aug 21st!

�Abiaz, a Research Assistant at the IWK Health Centre and Dalhousie University, is currently working on a study to develop an exciting new and free mental health app designed specifically for youth with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) who experience anxiety.

They are recruiting youth aged 15-25 with mild ID to join a focus group, either in-person or online, where they can help co-design the app. Participants will test the app’s features and provide feedback to ensure it meets their needs.

Participants will also receive compensation for their time. For more information, you can reach out to wdelong@lainghouse.org, or you can reach out to the study directly at AID@dal.ca

This month, Laing House members took part in the Equine Supported Wellness (ESW) program at Halifax Lancers, Canada’s only urban non-profit riding school and equine therapy centre.

This was a powerful experience of connection, reflection, and growth. Through hands-on activities and mindfulness practices, participants explored self-awareness, trust building, and emotional regulation - all with the support of the intuitive and calming Horses of Halifax.

From grooming to guided exercises, this unique experience helped members tune into their emotions, manage anxiety, and build confidence while also making new friends.🐴🐎✨
