April 2021 Email Newsletter Renewal (noun): 1. an instance of resuming an activity or state after an interruption
A Note from Tina Each year, Joy’s House chooses a word to help guide and encourage us. This year, for all of the obvious reasons, that word is Renewal. Like most people and organizations, we have spent a considerable amount of time looking back so that we can continue to move forward, figuring out who it is that we should be on the other side of this pandemic.
We’ve looked at our staff with gratitude and admiration for showing up day after day, caring for our Guests (clients) and family caregivers in a world that continued to shift. We’ve thanked our board for their tireless leadership during a time when they challenged themselves with how we fulfill our mission and how we best represent the families who rely on us for care. We know we want those things to continue.
We are so proud of our families and stakeholders for everything they did during this challenging time to ensure that we have stayed COVID-free at Joy’s House. And we are grateful for the donations ranging from much-needed household items to large above-and-beyond grants to families who chose to support us financially. We are still here, serving our community, as a result. ...continue reading Tina's full note by clicking here.

Find the Funny It’s ok to let out a good laugh, but we don’t always give ourselves permission to laugh during difficult times. Dr. Lynne Shaw is a Certified Laughter Leader and a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader (among other credentials). She joined Caregiver Crossing to talk about the importance of laughter and how laughter can reduce caregiver stress.
