  • Resilient Futures - Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives

    Resilient Futures - Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives
    May 2 2025

    Guest: Mina Fayez-Bahgat – General Manager, Social & Community Services Division, County of Simcoe


    As the World Health Organization says: When communities adopt empowerment processes, their people – especially those experiencing socio-economic disadvantages, gain “increased control over their lives.” This is seen as a pathway to inclusion and equity for all. That’s what we’re talking about today: Right now, on Resilience Rising.

    Aging with Dignity: Addressing Older Adult Poverty
    Apr 25 2025

    Guest: Jenna Wickens – MatureMinds Coordinator, CFS Counselling + Wellbeing


    More than 9,000 older adults in Simcoe County are living in poverty – with those living alone more vulnerable than those living with family. At 10%, the poverty rate here is nearly double the national rate. In this episode, we explore the complex factors contributing to senior poverty and discuss innovative supports for ageing with dignity. Right now, on Resilience Rising.

  • Unlocking Potential: Empowering Youth in Transition

    Unlocking Potential: Empowering Youth in Transition
    Apr 18 2025

    Guest: Tracy Johnson – Director of Services, Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions


    There are about 12,000 young people in the care of Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies. Youth leaving care are more likely to experience homelessness, mental health concerns, unemployment, lack of education and involvement in the justice system. Why is this happening? What’s being done about it? That’s what we’re talking about today. Right now, on Resilience Rising.
