I am excited to announce the launch of "a Message to The World," a series of motion graphic videos aimed at raising awareness about critical issues affecting our society. Our first topic sheds light on the prevalent issue of Cyberbullying, particularly impacting many teens and children today. Cyberbullying can have profound effects, triggering emotions of shame, anxiety, and depression. Victims often isolate themselves, reporting physical symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches. In severe cases, individuals may even contemplate self-harm. If you or someone you know is grappling with cyberbullying, remember, seeking support from trusted individuals like parents, teachers, or school counselors is essential. Additionally, reporting such behavior to the relevant authorities or platforms is crucial in addressing this issue effectively. Let's come together to combat cyberbullying and create a safer online environment for everyone. #CyberbullyingAwareness #SpreadKindness #MessageToTheWorld

Today is #WorldAutismDay, and we would like to take a moment to highlight three of our organizations that focus on this condition. Some will tell you that it is only a recent phenomenon, but that isn't true. The public acceptance of Autism and the embrace of people on the spectrum is growing, as well it should. Autism Ontario has been operating for fifty years, offering support to families of autistic individuals, those individuals themselves, and funds for research of causes and treatments. They also help to coordinate events and services for Autistic people. They recently signed on to Volunteer Peterborough, so we're welcoming them with open arms. We also have Autism Homebase, which is a social hub for Autistic folks and their families and caregivers. This barrier-free club has events where nobody has to worry about suppressing themselves. Tics, stimming and outbursts are welcome; it's opportunity to be one's self in an accepting environment. We'd also like to give a shout out to our friends at Heads Up for Inclusion, who advocate in the schools for friendships between disabled students and their peers. It's a fact that kids with Autism can flourish with mainstream friends. The Amigos program facilitates these friendships through in-school activities and outside adventures. The Community Amigos do the same for young adults who have left the school system, but will still benefit from friendship. In the past, those on the Autistic spectrum ranged from the "neighbourhood's odd duck" to the institutionalized relation of whom nobody spoke. And that is tragic. Nobody deserves that "othering". The more we can introduce the world to the Autistic, the better they can make the world.
