Grounding can be very effective when you’re feeling life is chaotic!

Josie’s gifts were many. Her smile could light up a room, her laughter contagious and her heart of gold made us all feel loved. Her beauty was radiant, both ins...ide and out. To our surprise, Josie was drowning in depression. Muzzled by stigma, she refrained from voicing her struggles to us. She wrote in her journal about strong feelings of worthlessness, embarrassment, shame and that she couldn’t find her way through the stigma. She tried to navigate the uncertain world of an emerging adult - juggling social media, bullying, academic expectations, and peer acceptance. She gave into her struggle at the age of 19. It’s my wish, as well as many others, that no one should ever have to experience such pain, again. In memory of Josie and to help close the gaps currently experienced by young adults facing life threatening mental health challenges, my family, with support from the Children’s Hospital Aid Society, will be supporting specific research projects at the University of Calgary, like Phase 1 of the Engagement & Co-design - Collaborative Research Towards Student Empowered Mental Wellbeing Project. Co-led by Dr.Gina Dimitropoulos (Faculty of Social Work) and Dr. Andrew Szeto (Director, Campus Mental Health and Faculty of Arts researcher) We’ve also established a graduate scholarship in Josie’s name with support from CHAS and U of C. Candidates will demonstrate their commitment and leadership in improving mental health and/or addressing suicide prevention in the post-secondary population, with the aim of inspiring student leadership in campus mental health. Both the research and graduate scholarship will address suicide prevention and mental health. Please help make a difference in Josie’s memory see the link for more details. https://netcommunity.ucalgary.ca/josephinewearmouth

I love this site as it will guide you through recorded sessions to help with grounding and staying in the present. Something that is very tough right now b/c we want to know when these Covid times will come to an end. Focus on what you can control and that is your response to this time of chaos.
