WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

Taking care of your mental health matters. Between family responsibilities, work, parenting, and adjusting to life in a new country, itโ€™s important to make time for yourself, too.

Give yourself permission to rest, reach out when you need support, and check in on the people around you. A simple conversation, a listening ear, or asking someone how theyโ€™re really doing can make a difference.

Letโ€™s continue building communities where mental health is taken seriously, support is accessible, and no one feels they have to face lifeโ€™s challenges alone.

Your mental health matters. You matter.

Immigrant parents, do you check in with your child about their day at childcare? ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

Do you ask how they were treated?
Do you ask what they enjoyed or what was difficult?
Do they come home feeling happy and excited, or tired and withdrawn?

As an immigrant parent, your voice matters. Pay attention. Ask questions. Speak up for your child.

If youโ€™re new to Canada and navigating childcare in Alberta, Between Cultures Foundation is here to support you along the journey.

๐Ÿ“ฉ Reach out to us. You donโ€™t have to navigate it alone.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation | September 30

As we mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to remember.

We remember the children who never returned home.
We remember the families who were separated.
We remember those who lost their lives, their languages, their cultures, their identities, and their connection to community and land.

But remembrance must lead to action.

Truth and Reconciliation is not only about wearing orange or acknowledging the past. It calls us to listen, to learn, to reflect, and to change how we live, teach, work, and build relationships with one another.

Today, let us commit to moving beyond words and putting the Calls to Action into practice. Let us learn whose land we live, work, and raise our children on. Let us recognize and honour the First Peoples who have cared for these lands since time immemorial.

We are here because of the people who came before us and cared for this land. Their knowledge, languages, cultures, and relationships with the land are an important part of Canadaโ€™s story.

May we not only remember what was lost, but also honour what has endured.

May remembrance deepen our understanding.
May understanding inspire action.
And may action move us closer to reconciliation.

Every Child Matters.

Every day is an opportunity to learn, listen, and take meaningful action toward reconciliation.

5 mistakes many immigrant parents make in childcare โ€” and what to do instead:

We don't talk about this enough. Choosing childcare quickly, staying quiet when something feels off, or thinking your child has to leave their culture behind just to fit in.

You don't have to choose between belonging and identity. You can have both.

Save this for later & share with a parent who just arrived. ๐Ÿค

SEPTEMBER CHECK-IN ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

Immigrant parents, we want to hear from you.

How is your child settling into their new school or childcare?

Are theyโ€ฆ

๐ŸŒฑ Finding their voice?
๐Ÿ‘‹ Making new friends?
๐ŸŒ Proud to share their culture?
๐Ÿ  Missing what feels familiar?
๐Ÿ’ญ Finding it hard to fit in?
๐Ÿ˜Š Feeling comfortable being themselves?

Now tell us one thing your child has said or done since starting the new school year.

It could be something funny, surprising, exciting, or even concerning.

Your experience matters. Your childโ€™s experience matters.

Letโ€™s talk. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

A childcare space should feel like a place to grow. ๐Ÿ’œ

A place where children can Learn, Explore, Express, Discover & Thrive โ€” and where families feel heard and supported too.

Inclusive spaces. Stronger families. Brighter futures.
