Being Part of the Beacon Network is Rewarding!
“Contributing to the well-being of my community and getting involved can boost my sense of accomplishment and belonging to my community.”
Network Objective
The Network Aims to:
- Help individuals and the community adapt to the post-pandemic reality
- Promote collective resilience and foster a culture of kindness
- Promote resources and activities offered in the community
- Mobilize the population, strengthen the social fabric and promote mutual aid relationships
- Reach out to the general population
My Role as a Beacon
- Be present for my community by being empathetic and showing kindness
- Be involved in my community and to contribute to its well-being by promoting community and municipal activities
- Share ways to take care of myself and others with those around me and distribute the Beacon Network tools
- Recognize stress signals, and share coping strategies and support resources if desired
- Be the eyes and ears of my community
- Refer to community resources and to services offered by the CISSS de l’Outaouais
To fulfill my role as a Beacon, I need to care for my own well-being while I am involved by taking care of myself, respecting my limits, and making sure not to carry the experiences of others on my shoulders.
