LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We gratefully acknowledge that we are on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territories of the Coast Salish people, including the hənqəminəm speaking peoples: the Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Musquem, Tsawwassen, TsleilWaututh and Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh speaking peoples.
We live and uphold our core values of hope, compassion, courage, respect, and collaboration. As part of these values, we believe that land acknowledgments are a historically accurate, respectful, and collaborative way to honor the traditional First Nations, Métis, and Inuit territories of a place.
We recognize that we are still in the early stages of Truth and Reconciliation, and there is much work to be done to decolonize the system. This begins with educating ourselves and our community and continues with becoming strong advocates for Indigenous people's rights as part of the Rabble Rousers community acknowledgement.

I’m currently studying in Native Education College, new semester is starting on April. I’ve have been coming to the Young Adult Program for half a year now. The program really helps me with my mental wellness. Through the Young Adult Program, I was referred to the Transitional Employment Program at Coast Mental Health where I have one shift a week which I really enjoy. I enjoy going out for coffee, brain training session
I am a newcomer to Canada. I have been in this program for around one year. There are a lot of skills that I learned during this program and also many things that I have not tried before that I have tried through this program and always I feel I am not alone and trying to challenge myself to go there as much as I can to be around people.

Our emotions can be unpredictable, moving from one extreme to another, but they also pass, allowing space for new feelings to emerge. Emotions, much like weather patterns, are temporary and part of a natural cycle, reminding us that even the toughest moments will eventually clear, making room for something new to take its place.
I have been coming to the Young Adult Program for half a year now. The program really helps me with my mental wellness. It keeps me busy and engaged with many different activities. I feel like it’s become my second home where I feel excepted and included.
One of my favourite parts of the week is when we go for smoothies, it makes me feel healthy. I also enjoy playing pool with the Youth Workers, I have become very good at the game. Through the Young Adult Program, I was referred to the Transitional Employment Program at Coast Mental Health where I have one shift a week which I really enjoy.

Different sides of me
I have multiple different sides of me. The angry jealous side. The glamorous and well put together side that never waivers when life gets tough. The side that is always feels crazy and is sad. The peaceful and wise side. Even though there are so many different sides to me I am made of them and they work together to keep me safe.
Butterflies
Today I read that butterflies rest when it rains because it damages their wings. It’s okay to rest during the storms of life. You’ll fly again when it’s over.

My Healing Journey
“I am a newcomer to Canada. Today I want to share my experience with the Young Adult Program.”
“I have been in this program for around one year. When I came to this program my communication skills were very bad. I had social phobia, poor social skills and difficulty forming social relationships. I always felt nervous and confused if someone tried to communicate with me, because my English was very bad. In this program, I feel like It's my home. I always felt lonely before. Even when I was with people, I did not trust them because of my experience my whole life in the country where I came from, where mental health is shamed. They treat people who have mental health problems with discrimination.
After coming to this program, my thoughts changed, and I started trusting the people who work there, and I started communicating with them. I started participating in activities, playing games and going on outings. I ask the staff for help when I need it. I also learned kitchen skills through the community kitchen, and I have healthy food through the food sustainability program and all other activities, keeping me and other members safe. I learned some ways to control my nerves. I belong to this program and feel it is like my home because I am doing activities with people, and I do not feel lonely. I feel like there's always someone I can talk to and ask for help without fear. I believe that they will give me the help I need, will listen to me, understand me, and be patient with me.
There are a lot of skills that I learned during this program and also many things that I have not tried before that I have tried through this program and always I feel I am not alone and I try to challenge myself to go there as much as I can to be around people.”

COMMUNITY KITCHEN
Each weekday, members of the Young Adult Program come together to prepare simple meals & practicing cooking skills while fostering a sense of community. Our recipes are designed for quick preparation, typically taking 20-30 minutes, and feature ingredients readily available in the pantry.

FOOD SUSTAINABILITY
Budgeting, shopping, cooking
Here at Coast Mental Health Young Adult program, we give our members the opportunity to practice food sustainability throughweeklygroceryshoppingtrips. This gives our members the opportunity to practice shoppingforhealthyfood.
OUR BODIES ARE OUR
FOUNDATION
fueling our energy, emotions, and overall well-being. What we eat directly impacts our mental health, influencing mood, focus, and resilience. Nourishing our bodies with balanced, nutrient-rich foods helps regulate emotions, reduce stress, and support brain function. When we care for our bodies, we care for our minds.
When we take the time to truly taste each bite, eating transforms from a simple act of sustenance to a mindful experience that feeds both our body and soul
FOOD BANKS REIMAGINED
The Food Sustainability program runs on a weekly basis on Mondays @10am, and aims to breakfinancialbarriersbyprovidingaccessto nutritious food. We discuss healthy eating choices, meal planning and budgeting in our groups.
This program offers a humble alternative to waiting in long food bank lines to receive whatever is available. Instead, it provides the opportunity to choose and purchase essential items for our kitchens, allowing us to make healthier decisions that best suit our dietary needs.Additionally,welearnaboutnutritional valuesandhowtoreadfoodlabels.
Mindful eating is not about restriction; it’s about listening to our bodies, savoring each bite, and nurturing our health with intention and care

Spanakopita is one of the first recipes I made with & without a recipe. It’s easy to make tastes great & is a family favourite. I simplified the spices to 1 tsp of Italian spice, & I use 1 tsp apple cider vinegar instead of lemon because of my citrus allergy.

2 cup of frozen vegetables
4 TBS soy sauce

Recipe ingredients include water to make rice but this recipe works best with leftover rice.
4.
Add soy sauce, salt, sesame oil and toss.
3. Garnish with green onion and serve!
ANDY’SEGGBOMB
“I chose this egg fried rice recipe because it is cost-effective and simple to prepare. I learned this recipe during my studies in Asian Culinary Arts at Vancouver Community College, where I completed a five-month fulltime program. During this time, I developed my skills in stir-frying using a wok. Additionally, I worked as a chef at a restaurant to enhance my knife skills and gain experience preparing a variety of dishes.
I believe this egg fried rice recipe would be an excellent addition to the Coast Mental Health Community Centre menu. It is filling, quick to prepare, and incorporates eggs, which offer numerous health benefits. Eggs are a rich source of protein, an essential nutrient for overall health, including cardiovascular health and eye function. They also provide vital nutrients like choline, along with more than a dozen vitamins and minerals. For pregnant individuals, the amino acids in eggs play a crucial role in cellular development, benefiting both the parent and the baby. This recipe is a perfect combination of affordability, nutritional value, and simplicity, making it ideal for the community. “

FOOD FOODHACKS HACKS
Reducing waste, budgetting and storage
Plan: Only buy certain foods. Buy canned and healthy items. Not unhealthy high cost items. Also, try not to go to the grocery store while hungry.
Unlimited green onion hack: Propagate green onion with roots in water. Use green onion as needed. Replace water weekly.
Freeze cooking ingredients used less often: ie garlic, onion, lime. Grate frozen ingredients directly into dish while cooking. Reduces waste.
Invest in a grow lamp: Grow your own herbs and vegetables all year
Budget: Only take the amount of money you want to spend in cash so you won’t go over budget
Recycle cans and bottles from the grocery store
Long walks in nature
Never blame anyone in your life. Great people give you happiness. Bad people give you experiences. The worst people give you lessons. The best people give you memories. I always choose to see the best in people.
Anyone can tolerate 10 seconds of their life when things get tough. I count to 10, and then say something I’m grateful for. If not, I repeat this over and over until I calm down.
byDayley
What I need
I never give up unless it benefits me. Sometimes giving up is what i need to do to regroup and try again tomorrow.
Let someone else fill up your cup if you can’t fill it up yourself. No shame in asking for help. Everyone experiences bad days.

Positivity is contagious. Go ahead make someone’s day

Meeting our Little Friends
Every week I go for long walks on the beach or the trails with my mom. I like bunnies because they adapt to their surroundings. They are resilient and cute like me and you.
What if it doesnt happen? Ah.. but what if it does? If you can dream it you can make it happen.

RabbleRousersat PrideParade
Celebrating Pride & Mental Health!
“As a group of young people who work on community activism and have over the past five years have received great support from other communities, and we want to be able to participate in that continuing relationship. It is validating when we’re supported by other communities outside of mental health, that we want to stand up for other communities as well and work together to break barriers and stigma to create change.
As our membership is so diverse with many backgrounds and people who participate, we are representing those groups as well, our fellow members, and acknowledge the intersection of queerness and mental illness.
Because of this intersection, there are people in our community due to trauma and homophobia, are unable to walk in the Pride Parade. We want to walk for them.” - Rabble Rousers
