Living with a disability

Whether you're disabled or a disability has affected a member of your family, a mental or physical disability will change your life. As with any major life change, you will face many challenges. Use the tips below to begin to come to terms with your new normal and start living your life with balance, strength and optimism.  

Working with a disability

The International Labour Organization, an agency of the United Nations, issued a report in 2007, Equality at Work: Tackling the Challenges of a Disability, that challenged the concept that people with disabilities are less productive than their non-disabled counterparts. In fact, the report suggests that they may even be more productive in some jobs than non-disabled people. If you have a mental or physical disability and want to go back to work, take heart - it is possible to excel on the job even with a disability.

Home alone for the Holidays
December is typically the most stressful month of the year. The malls are packed, seasonal music has been playing in shops and elevators since the leaves started falling, and we find ourselves running around shopping for family, friends and co-workers, and attending dinners, brunches, and office parties. Contrary to the popular belief, it is not a relaxing time of year!

 

Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, there's no escaping the overload.  

 

For some of us, it can be an exceptionally lonely time of year, leaving us feeling bereft of holiday warmth and cheer. You may be far away from family, grieving a loved one, or just feeling left out.

 

We can help you deal with the holiday stress, the sadness, and the challenges of the season by inviting you to chat with one of our counsellors on First Chat. 

 

This service puts you in contact with one of our professional counsellors 365/24/7 - even on Christmas Day!
