Healthy End of Life Project (HELP)

 The Healthy End of Life Project (HELP) Ottawa aims to understand the needs of those living with frailty, chronic or life-limiting illness, those nearing the end of life, caregivers, and the bereaved. Further, HELP Ottawa aspires to create compassionate communities that empower members to feel comfortable and confident while attending to those needs (e.g. checking in on an isolated neighbour, offering support to someone who recently lost a loved one, asking a community member for assistance while caring for an aging parent). Heather McGrath, Community Facilitator for HELP at Orleans United Church (OUC), have been busy having conversations with OUC members discussing support programs and services available through the church. In doing so, they discovered how this faith-community acts as a source of spiritual growth, learning, and social connection for an ever-growing congregation.

HEALTHY AGING

HEALTHY AGING
Community Pentecostal Church invites you to participate online via Zoom in a free provincially funded pilot project sponsored
by the Ottawa Council on Aging.

It is a series of 8 videos related to issues of special interest to seniors, or those who might be seniors one day. Starting Feb. 7th
from 1 – 3 pm and continuing until March 28th, the 8 weeks will feature topics of special interest to seniors.
Registration: Linda Wood: phone: 613-741-3102 or pastoralcare@cpcorleans.ca

Attendance will be taken.

Commitment for 8 weeks is expected, barring unforeseen circumstances.

It is adult education, self-guided, using a workbook which will be provided free of charge. There will be homework, entirely at
your discretion to complete.

You will need a computer, camera and microphone to participate. Watching a video on a phone might not be satisfactory.

TOPICS will include transportation issues, housing, finances, personal health issues and those of your spouse/partner, etc.

The group will be limited to 25 people so register early! Deadline for registration is FEBRUARY 1, 2023.

Check out supports in the community: ttps://www.communityhomesupport.ca

Grief Workshop

Join us for a free online two-part workshop series, where you will be guided through an interactive session by trained facilitators to increase your knowledge and comfort on the topic
of grief and bereavement.
You will also be provided with the tools and techniques to have conversations with those around you experiencing grief to be able to better support them, which is especially important during these
challenging times.

Sessions will be held on Thursday, February 16th and Thursday, February 23rd from 6:00pm – 7:30pm
via Zoom

If Christmas is not the joyous time everyone makes it out to be, join us at our Blue Christmas service Dec 21 at 7:30 PM, as we remember our losses through music and  the lighting of candles 

HELP HINTS DURING STRESSFUL TIMES

  • Restrict your access to the news to once a day, preferably not before bedtime, and only for 15 minutes
  • Offer financial support, clothing etc. to the different agencies on Ottawa supporting Ukrainians.
  • Walk outside, meditate, be in communion with God. Prayer works.
  • Reach out to someone who is isolated.
  • Talk it out but only for 15 minutes a day.
  • Every day write down 3 things you are grateful for.

This conversation, sponsored by Compassionate Ottawa, between Dr. Kerrie Noonan from Australia and Dr. Pam Grassau, lead investigator of HELP Ottawa, touches on compassionate communities in Australia, the successes and challenges of building a compassionate community, and a way to understand more about a community’s skills, experience, social actions, and knowledge surrounding death, dying, caregiving and loss.
