July
July is Disability Pride Month!

Did you know that the American Disabilities Act was only signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in July 1990?  This year we celebrate 31 years of protection for those with disabilities.

Congratulations to the Forensic Interview team! 

After the team carried out a Forensic Interview, Brooke was able to give evidence in a criminal trial. Brooke's testimony assisted the Solicitors office in securing a 35 year prison sentence for the abuser.

Great job Brooke and the team!

Continuing back to the Office
 
Many of us are making our way back to working in the office and this process can be stressful.
It can be noisy and busier than we are used to at home,  Here are 5 things that may help your transition:
  1. Start getting into a routine every day.  Even when working a hybrid schedule, it is always helpful to maintain the same work schedule each day.
     
  2. Bring  your favorite stress reliever into the office.  Have a favorite stress toy? Bring it in! Decorate your space with pictures of family or anything that makes you feel comfortable.
     
  3. Organize smaller meetings with co-workers outside of the office to get re-acquainted with each other.
     
  4. Give yourself and others some grace.  Getting back to normal will take time, take breaks, maybe go for a walk.  Accept your feelings about coming back into the office as being OK.
     
  5. Get $40 off a subscription to the Calm app though your ADP Discounts page.  Just listen and relax.  Click on ADP Discounts to get your deals (see below).
