Mentorship has gone virtual at Big Brothers Big Sisters of North and West Niagara! Our mentors are embracing the theory of ‘digital nearing’ with their mentees using FUN and supportive tools created by our casework team. Now, more than ever; our team of highly skilled caseworkers are working hard to reach-out, stay in touch and keep the lines of safe, positive communication open to our families and children in need.
This time can be very challenging for children and adolescents. Our children are being bombarded with a myriad of complex messages, both through digital media and misinformation from friends that can cause anxiety and alarm without context. Beyond this information overload, our young people are also sensing the anxiety of their parents and worry about their own health and that of other family members.
With your help and generous support, we can continue to create stability, foster friendships and provide skilled support through mentorship in this time of need. As advocates for children’s mental health and mentorship; local Niagara wineries have partnered with us to ensure the lines communication with our mentees, remain OPEN during these uncertain times.
Through a carefully curated selection of their estate favourites, you can do your part to help keep our Bigs/Littles connected and supported by purchasing and sipping classic VQA Ontario wines.
**A portion of all wine sales will be donated to our GoGirls! Program
