MAY 17, 2021
Greetings!

How are you feeling? The first week of May was Mental Health Week, a time to celebrate, protect and promote mental health. We know that identifying, expressing and dealing with our emotions - even when they're uncomfortable - can make us feel better. That's why the 2021 theme, understanding our emotions, encouraged everyone to "Name It, Don't Numb It." As the Canadian Mental Health Association put it:

"When we name how we feel, it helps us understand and process our emotions - which is all a part of good mental health."

Everyone deserves to feel well, and there are times when we need some help along the way. SOURCES offers general and specialized mental health services to support individuals of all ages with various mental health issues: anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, parenting, trauma and much more. Visit our website to learn more about programs and meet our team of professional and compassionate Registered Clinical Counsellors:
The Semiahmoo Rotary Club's 32nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament has been rescheduled for August 31, 2021.

"The health and safety of our golfers and volunteers is first and foremost. We feel that by [then], the vast majority of participants will have been vaccinated and the pandemic will be well under control," said Scott Hind, Tournament Co-Chair.

All the tournament's fundraising will be online, and 100% of net tournament proceeds will support Rotary community projects and SOURCES' social wellness and mental health programs, with a specific focus on supporting youth, families and seniors. 50/50 tickets are on sale now!
"SOURCES is delighted to once again partner with the Semiahmoo Rotary Club and be supported by this event," said Shelley Williams, Tournament Co-Chair and Sources Foundation board member. "One of the biggest impacts of the pandemic has been the hit on our mental health. The funds raised from the tournament will help many people in our community as they navigate our new normal. We're very grateful to Rotary, all the golfers, to Morgan Creek Golf Course and to our sponsors for their continued support and we are looking forward to the end of August when we can safely enjoy a great day of golf, fun and fundraising to strengthen and heal our community."
