About CVRC 63 WHAT DOES THE BLUE BUILDING MEAN TO YOU A place that I can be heard. A place that puts the community first. It gives me hope that I am being heard by providing me with programs and information and opportunities that I need to move forward, whether its being a better person, parent and a neighbour. Its a place that kids can go and get together and do fun things ... helps them be involved in community things A place where I can go get the resources I need, join in some social interaction and most importantly I can be myself and not be judged. Without the CVRC, I feel that the majority of my fellow neighbors, as well as myself would be lost! HOW IT BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY It benefits the community in ways of teaching many different things as in job programs, community programs and ect.. Its a place that the community can come together as one.. I think the CVRC (Blue Building) benefits the community by showing everyone what a Community can accomplish. It benefits the community by giving people the resources they may need to improve their lives Its a safe place where I can speak my mind and not worry about what others feel I should be thinking. I think the CVRC is helping build on what is already there just waiting to show the rest of the world.

When our mission statement becomes the real description of Crescent Valley the residents will have the environment that will enable all to reach their fullest potential. 5 70 CVRC Purposes and Activities 1. To relieve poverty through the operation of a resource centre, providing basic amenities such as food, and clothing and educational programs 2. To benefit the community by maintaining and improving communal facilities, such as parks, for use by the public. More specifically the CVRC: • Supports resident -lead community development (planning, prioritizing, acting and evaluating) • Develops and coordinates partner and community use of the Community Resource Centre • Engaging residents of Crescent Valley who want to do more for their community • Identifies program priorities and other opportunities to link the neighbourhood's needs with new or available services /programming. • Works with residents to organize community forums and meetings to assist with community presentations. • Coordinates a process that ensures the Community Resource Centre's effective day to day operations. • Coordinates the use of the Community Resource Centre in terms of the involvement of volunteers from the neighbourhood; and the involvement of the government and community services delivering programs in the community; • Strengthens relationships with existing groups, including other neighbourhoods, and facilitate partnering with new organizations • Create a base inventory of neighbourhood assets and demographics • Promotes various resources available in the community • Participates in fund generation and plans for sustainability 0 71 Crescent Valley Resource Centre Coordinator What is my role? As the Crescent Valley Resource Centre Coordinator I work to realize the purpose and activities for the Crescent Valley Resource Centre (CVRC) I do this by: • Listen to residents' requests for programs • Partner with other people or agencies • Promote programs and opportunities to the community • Encourage community to take part • Facilitate roles and responsibilities for programs in writing • Ensure CVRC policy for building use is communicated and followed by outside groups My Story: I moved to Saint John in 1995 and have lived in Crescent Valley for almost 6 years. I have not lived what people call a normal life; my mom was a single parent and worked around the clock to provide for me and my brother. As a child I took part in Playground Programs, Boys and Girls Club, attended Tim Horton Camp, Encounters with Canada, Junior Achievers, Student Council and the list goes on. I have attended over 12 schools across Canada and ended up graduating from Harbourview High / SJ Vocational School in 1998 and afterwards attend CTI where I took Multimedia and Graphic Design. I am currently 30 year old a single mother of three children working to better my life and that of my communities. Like so many living in Crescent Valley I have hope that with hard work and dedication we can create the mission statement we (Crescent Valley Residents and Partners) created a few years ago. I may not be overly familiar with the action plan, strategies for neighbourhood leadership and renewal in Crescent Valley but what I do know is that I love my community. As a resident I take part in programs and committees not because it is my job and to engage residents but because this is my community, home and friends and I want to help. Residents who come here (CVRC) know that I will not ask them to do something I am not willing to do (or have done) myself, that is how I engage residents, build long term relationships and become a leader in my community, I listen, learn and let residents be heard and work with residents and organizations to bring the requested programs here to Crescent Valley. 7 72 Moving Forward Monthly Moving Forward Meetings Once a month Lisa Morris and Laura Basque host a Moving Forward Meeting for residents to come, feel comfortable and chat with other residents over coffee /tea. At the meetings we introduce ourselves and talk about issues that have been arising and also what we as residents can do to move these things forward. Residents have been surveyed, questions and can sometimes walk away feeling like a worm on a dissection table and after all they have bared do not know if they have made a difference. These meetings empower residents to speak up and see the changes that they are helping create. These meetings are for residents only and for those who cannot attend they can always drop in during Drop In hours as well as they can respond to issues on facebook through our Crescent Valley: Your Voice Counts page Target: Crescent Valley Residents of all ages Goal: To engage Residents in Crescent Valley and let residents know what programs are currently available, what is missing and what they can do to help and be heard � d16�� How we all Residents can give feedback either through Facebook, Drop In, or coming to the Moving get heard Forward Meeting to ensure that all voices can be heard Feed Back Programs Needed, Green Space /Gardens, Safety, Housing, Family Friendly, Garbage, Food Purchasing Club, Barriers with Childcare to Employment Example of what residents are saying: Family friendly to me is defined as something that encompasses not just the parents and not just the children but rather the whole. Family friendly means it is something that can be done or shared or experienced and enjoyed together as a family, something that appeals to both the parents and the children. Depending on the time scheduled, I would go to any kind of workshop that would help to better myself not only as a parent but as a person and a productive member of society and this community. Also any event that is "Family Friendly" as it helps to maintain a healthy bond between myself and my children 0 73 What a group of thoughtful committed citizen can do....

As usual we had issues with connecting with tenants but where we Repair List were able we completed most of the work. We certainly utilized the information to assist given to the region in obtaining funding to do renovations to apartments. We currently are doing housing extensive renovations to 25 units (vacancies) this year and hope to do more of these Ball Hockey retrofits next year.

In 2009, the centre purchased bookshelves and has had books donated, including a December donation of approximately $2000 in new books from Irving Oil, facilitated by the CVRC coordinator. There is an average of about 10 units of service per month, and the usage seems to happen when there are other things happening at the centre, like the craft programs and special events (someone borrowed at the official opening, for instance.) There has also been one teacher and student using the library from Hazen White St. Francis (for tutoring work). As well, the Backyard Reading Club used these library books for their programming. It was suggested in June by Quality Learning NB workers that this was a viable, sustainable program and that the resources remain as part of the centre. Future work includes participation in QLNB's Winter Libraries project, funded by the Greater Saint John Community Foundation, that will hopefully see more volunteer involvement in purchasing books and resources for the library and therefore in the ongoing maintenance of the library. This project runs from November 2009 — May 2010 Knitting Therapy Provided by: Cheryl Brown From January 9th, 2009 — March 13, 2009 There were 9 sessions of the Knitting Therapy program. A maximum of 6 participants were present at any one time, with ranges of 0 — 6 participants. Topics discussed ranged from domestic violence, children, relationships and, of course, knitting. Participants made mostly dishcloths, scarves and started blankets. The program began again on October 9th and ran weekly until October 30th with lower participation rates than the Spring (0 - 3 participants). The program was postponed in November and December due to facilitator injury. Plans are to restart the program for the January — March session.

Many children in our community leave public education far too early and programs like these, where they are protected and feel they fit in with the group, bolster their confidence to complete their education and pursue a career. Therefore, the success of these programs and the impressions which they leave on each child are the foundation on which we hope to build up their future successes. # Youth #Adult Provider Sponsors Notes Volunteers I Boys Wake -A- 12 5 CVRC Daly's, Brad More planning Thon Snodgrass needed Girls Wake -A- 13 7 CVRC Shoppers, Lisa Well planned Thou Morris, Julia Elderkin, Rachel Maillet, Brookside Country Market 15 I Halloween Partv Lisa Morris: CDC, Resident Teen Vibe: Kate Wright UNB Volunteers Target: Residents of Crescent Valley Teen Vibe youth worked on creating a Haunted House upstairs which during the party residents could either pay $1 which went towards Teen Vibe or bring a canned food product to be donated to the North End Food Bank.

Both young and old had a blast and laughed and worked together to make our playground a safe place. We painted the fence around the playground and added our names, new basketball nets were put up and the court was swept and the sand put back in the sand area. We started to clean the area around the playground and got some of it done this may be something we can do again throughout the summer. We do have a concrete picnic table coming to add to the playground soon. # Youth #Adult Provider Notes Volunteers April 241h, 2010 CVRC, Teen Vibe More planning needed Feedback about GYSD 2010 from residents: WOW!

Page 1 of 1 Mental illness indirectly affects all Canadians at some time through a family member, friend or colleague. 20% of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime. Mental illness affects people of all ages, educational and income levels, and cultures. . Approximately 8% of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives. . About 1 % of Canadians will experience bipolar disorder (or "manic depression "). How common is it? Schizophrenia affects 1 % of the Canadian population. . Anxiety disorders affect 5% of the household population, causing mild to severe impairment. Suicide accounts for 24 % of all deaths among 15 -24 year olds and 16% among 25 -44 year olds. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women from adolescence to middle age. The mortality rate due to suicide among men is four times the rate among women. What causes it? • A complex interplay of genetic, biological, personality and environmental factors causes mental illnesses. • Almost one half (49 %) of those who feel they have suffered from depression or anxiety have never gone to see a doctor about this problem. • Stigma or discrimination attached to mental illnesses presents a serious barrier, not only to diagnosis and treatment but also to acceptance in the community. • Mental illnesses can be treated effectively. What is the economic cost? The economic cost of mental illnesses in Canada for the health care system was estimated to be at least $7.9 Million in 1998 - $4.7 billion in care, and $3.2 billion in disability and early death. An additional $6.3 billion was spent on uninsured mental health services and time off work for depression and distress that was not treated by the health care system. In 1999, 3.8% of all admissions in general hospitals (1.5 million hospital days) were due to anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders, eating disorders and suicidal behavior.
