Cultivating Community Wellness is pleased to present a virtual session “ Getting Value from Values”

WHEN: Tuesday, May 27 from 12:00 pm -1:30 pm
WHERE: on Zoom.

In the field of social care everyone appears to agree that values are really important.

Just because values matter to people it does not always follow that we, or the organizations we work with, also know how to make the most of them. While research shows that doing values-based work badly causes more harm than good there are also some simple ways to start harnessing the value that values can bring.

Using examples from her consultancy work and reputable studies, Dr Jackie Le Fèvre will share examples of effective and ineffective practice. This session will be a blend of delivery and short exercises to illustrate how values work in real life. Topics that will be touched upon include

• values-based recruitment,
• communication,
• and the challenging issues of stress,
• moral injury and burnout.

Key take aways will include:

• simple things to try in the workplace to bring values to the fore,
• ways to strengthen connection with others through values
• and how our personal values can be a resource in cultivating our own well-being.

Corbrook and Family Service Toronto in partnership with FoodShare, are holding ongoing Community Food Markets on the third Thursday of every month in Scarborough.

Where and when is the market?

The next market is Thursday, April 17  from 1pm-6pm at Corbrook and Community Living Toronto’s social enterprise The Social Brew: 1236 Birchmount Rd. – see flyer attached for details. 

What is a Community Market? (formerly Good Food Market)

Community Markets sell high-quality, affordable fruits and vegetables.  These markets bring healthy produce to neighbourhoods where it might not otherwise be available, and where farmers’ markets are not viable because sales are too low to cover costs.   

The markets feature seasonal, local produce plus imported favourites in order to offer the greatest quality and cultural value to the neighbourhoods they serve.  

Who can attend?

The market is open to everyone!

Corbrook and Family Service Toronto share a vision of building inclusive communities.

We envision our market serving as a gathering place for folks to connect, learn from each other, and thrive.

Why a Community Market?

Food markets can become amazing gathering places.  The goal of a successful market is not making a profit, but the relationship between selling affordable produce and the ability of a market to be a gathering place that people want to hang out in.
