6 Board of Directors Corner PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF GIVING DID YOU KNOW? Helping others not only makes a person feel good, but it may also increase physical and emotional well-being. Several studies have indicated that being generous has profound effects on how a person thinks and feels. One such study from researchers at Cornell University uncovered that volunteering increases one's energy, sense of mastery over life and self-esteem. It also promotes feelings of positivity, which may strengthen and enhance the immune system. According to psychologist Robert Ornstein and physician David Sobel, authors of "Healthy Pleasures," they talk about a "helper's high." This is a sense of euphoria that volunteers experience when helping others. It can be described as a sense of vitality and a warm glow. It has been compared to a runner's high and may be attributed to a release of endorphins. Conseil d administration Here are a few more health benefi ts that may result from being altruistic: an activation of emotions that are key to good health, lower stress levels, longer periods of calm after the generous act, improved mood, and a potentially longer life span. There are many ways to give back and experience these physical and psychological benefi ts, including: volunteering at a hospital, sharing experiences at a school, volunteering at a local park, donating unused items, like clothes, reading to children at a library, and of course volunteering at the Comox MFRC. Volunteering as board member with your local MFRC will for sure increase your sense of belonging to the community, increase your sense of accomplishment by making a difference in people s lives and it may increase your physical and emotional well-being. WHAT DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DO AT YOUR COMOX MFRC? The Board of Directors is the legal authority for the Comox MFRC. As a member of the Board, a Director acts in a position of trust on behalf of the local Canadian Forces community and is responsible for the effective governance of the organization. The Board of Directors is responsible for the governance of the MFRC, including strategic planning, evaluation, human resources, fi nances, fundraising, risk management, advocacy and community relations. The skills and knowledge of Board members are critical to the success of the organization. Here are a few of the skills and knowledge you may develop while volunteering as board member: Teamwork, active listening, fundraising, planning ability, human resource management, research and writing, fi nancial expertise, confl ict resolution, time management. Comox MFRC Board of Directors meetings are the last Wednesday of each month, held in the Conference Room of the 19 Wing Fitness & Community Centre. Start time is 6:00 pm. Meetings are open to all 19 Wing members and their families.

SHOWERS MAY FLOWERS SPRING SHOWERS BRINGS MAY FLOWERS! The rain has been in full force. The days can be dark and dreary, and even the best of us can get a little down; however, the spring can help to reawaken your body after a long winter. Many people experience mild depression, lack of motivation, and low energy during the rainy season. Luckily, there s a lot you can do. Here are some practical ways to beat the rain and keep your energy high and mood lifted. EXERCISE Exercise isn t only for maintaining your weight and staying healthy. Thursdays April 18, May 16, & June 20 9:30 am - 11:30 am Conference Room Free Note: Limited child care available. It s great for relieving the stresses of life. Plus, the effects of a good workout can last for several hours. Exercise also helps your mind by releasing those feel good chemicals that improve your mood. EAT A HEALTHY DIET What and when you eat has a great affect on your mood and energy. Try to incorporate more complex carbohydrates (whole wheat breads, brown rice, veggies, fruit) and get your daily 8 cups of water. These healthy foods provide your body (and mind) with nutrients, and stabilize your blood sugar and your energy levels. TREAT YOURSELF Having something to look forward to can keep you motivated. Plan something that s exciting to you - a weekend trip, a day at the spa, a party, or special event Counselling Services Tamara Vojnic, BA, BSW, RSW Confidential Voic x 8286 [email protected] Carrie Bisson, BSW, RSW Confidential Voic x 7128 [email protected] GET SOCIAL SUPPORT Don t underestimate the power of friends, family, co-workers, and neighbours. Something as simple as a phone call, a chat over coffee, or a nice or letter can brighten your mood. RELAX! You re busy! Work, class, family, friends, appointments, meetings. Try to spend a few minutes each day doing nothing! Read a book or magazine, go to bed early, try some meditations, or take a yoga class. CATCH SOME ZZZZ S People naturally want to sleep a little bit more during the dark months. Aim for 7-8 hours each night, and try to keep your bedtime and waking time consistent. Also try not to oversleep - those 12- hour snoozes on the weekend can actually make you MORE tired. Bilingual service is 24/7. Free and confi dential for military members, their spouses/partners and dependant children. Service 24/7, bilingue. Gratuit et confi dentiel pour les membres des FC, leur conjoint(e) et leur enfant.

24 Family Separation & Reunion Soutien à la séparation et à la réunion des familles FAMILY SEPARATION AND REUNION (DEPLOYMENT) SERVICES CF/Reservist personnel are often required to spend time away from their families. We recognize the signifi cant emotional and physical demands placed on families because of deployment, temporary duty and imposed restriction, and we provide a number of services and activities to assist families coping with military work-related absences of 30 days or longer. Our services are extended to all minor custodial children, the member s married or common-law spouse, the primary next of kin of single members, as well as single parent members. SOUTIEN À LA SÉPARATION ET À LA RÉUNION DES FAMILLES (DÉPLOIEMENT) Les membres des FC et les réservistes sont parfois appelés à passer du temps loin de leurs familles. Nous savons que les déploiements, affectations temporaires et restrictions imposées peuvent occasionner un stress émotif et physique aux familles. C est donc pour soutenir les familles faisant face à des séparations de 30 jours ou plus dues au service militaire que nous offrons divers services et activités de soutien. Nos services sont offerts aux personnes à charge, conjoints mariés ou conjoints de fait, aux plus proches parents des membres célibataires, ainsi qu aux membres monoparentaux. 11 CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO GO ON IR Posting season is fast approaching and knowing that a move is imminent can bring some families face-to-face with a diffi cult choice - move to the new location together or request that the member proceed alone on Imposed Restriction. Electing to live without your partner for a period of months or even years is a big decision. Every family s circumstances are unique, however, the following discussion prompts may help as you contemplate or plan to manage this big step: 1. JOB - Have you carefully weighed the pros and cons of your job vs the stress this separation will place on your family? Have either of you considered other sources of possible income, an alternative career or retraining? 2. SCHOOL - Do your kids have special needs that cannot be met at a new school? What are the waiting periods and application processes for services? Are your child s required courses transferrable if moving in a senior year? Could a move and fresh start be a positive experience for your children? 3. MEDICAL NEEDS - Is there a waiting period for medical benefi ts in your new province? If you have special health needs, can they be met? What is the availability of family doctors? 4. COMING HOME - How often will you be able to obtain time off to visit? What are your travel options? How often will you be able to afford it? Will you be able to manage the time and stress of travel over the long-term? 5. MOBILITY - Do both spouses drive? Do you have two vehicles? If without a vehicle, what are the other transportation options? 6. FINANCES - What benefi ts or entitlements are available during the separation? Can you afford to continue to live apart if those benefi ts change unexpectedly? Have you drawn up a detailed fi nancial plan that allows for the additional costs of living separately? 7. LEGAL - Will a power of attorney document meet all your legal needs such as fi ling tax returns and negotiating mortgage and insurance contracts? Have you considered what legal documents need to be in place for the solo parent to travel internationally with the children? 8. RELATIONSHIPS - Have you dealt with a lengthy absence from your loved one before? Is your relationship currently under stress that an absence may exacerbate? Are your children prepared to cope with the challenges of the absence? 9. HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT - How will you deal long-term with household chores or maintenance that normally would be the responsibility of the absent spouse? How will important household decisions be made? How will you manage the resentment that can arise if one spouse is doing it all? 10. FAMILY MANAGEMENT - How will you deal with discipline? Will your family require more or special child care support? How will you include each other in special occasions? What will your personal social life look like without your spouse? 11. CHANGING YOUR MIND - Do you have a back-up plan where a move is feasible if you change your mind later and decide that IR is not for you? Want to know more? Please feel welcome to get in touch with the Deployment Services team. We re here to help! Kassandra Dycke Sara Zubiak - Bilingue Sgt.

25 Dossier - Travail à domicile WORKING FROM HOME IS IT A VIABLE OPTION FOR ME? Many families are trying to balance the demands of two careers with growing children, household maintenance and leisure activities. Add to this the challenges of frequent relocations and other demands of the military lifestyles, like deployments and duty-related separations, and you can understand why some folks are seeking options besides leaving home to work everyday. Why not explore the advantages of working from home? Working from home, also known as teleworking or telecommuting is a growing component of the business sector. Many employees have already moved into positions of teleworking, at least on a part time basis. The ability to work remotely could be a boon to military families looking to balance work and military family life. Telecommuting or teleworking involves working somewhere other than your employer s place of business using phones, computers and mobile electronic devices. Doing so may: allow you to work more independently and set your own schedule; eliminate commuting to work and offi ce interruptions; limit opportunities to interact with co-workers; increase distractions by children (and adults) in your home offi ce. With every employment decision it is important to evaluate how well the perception matches the reality. This is also true of deciding whether to work from home or not. Working from home will not work for everyone, nor will it work at at every stage in one s life. As you consider a work at home transition, be sure to discuss your employer s expectations while honestly assessing the following: Will you be able to establish a consistent and adequate work space? The ability to secure work equipment and work papers separate from the rest of your household is very important for some employment. Also, try not to place your workspace in a busy living room or kitchen. Will you have reliable equipment? Nothing disrupts productivity like a poor Internet connection, a computer that regularly crashes or computer with outdated software or that regularly crashes. Find out what you will need in order to accommodate the needs of your employer. Arrange a method to access technical support if the need arises. Will you be able to set regular work hours, if and when necessary? Many people initially believe they ll just work whenever they want and get things done. Unfortunately, without a plan it is easy to become distracted by non-work matters that can keep you from completing your tasks. Get in the habit of setting consistent work hours so your family and friends know when you re available and when you re not. It will also help your co-workers and supervisors to know the best times to contact you. Feature - Working From Home Will you be able to self-limit time spent procrastinating and goofing off? While it is important to build in personal breaks throughout the day, endeavour to restrict them so they re not at your most productive work times. Will you be able to wake early or work late at night? It can be to your advantage to get up and start your day before others in the household or work after everyone s gone to bed. Doing so can provide some moments of peace and quiet to review your schedules - including family related tasks, organize paperwork, and set your goals for the day. Working from home comes with choices so review the all the information that is available to you in order to make the best knowledge-based decision you can. Remember YOU are in charge of your job search strategies. Want to know more? Please feel welcome to get in touch with the Employment & Education Services coordinator. We re here to help! To sign-up for any Comox MFRC activity please call or drop by Monday - Friday from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. If there is a program fee, your payment (cash/cheque/debit/visa/mastercard) confirms your registration. PAGE 25 Phone to register:

WOMEN S BUSINESS NETWORK DINNER MEETING (WBN) Join our Employment & Education Services Coordinator for a motivational evening fi lled with valuable information, great networking opportunities, and a chance to meet a wide range of business owners and professionals (potential employers) in the area. The Comox Valley Women s Business Network is an energetic group of business and professional women who have a dinner meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month at The Westerly Hotel & Convention Centre. If you would like to attend as our guest or just want further information, please call us at Local The WBN is a great way to connect with with what s going on in the Valley. NETWORKING WHAT IS NETWORKING? Networking is the process of building relationships, but in a strategic way. Some people are naturally gifted at networking, while others must learn how to do and practice it often to be effective. In large or small communities, networking is the best way to land the kind of job you want. Remember, employers prefer to hire from personal referrals or previous contacts. Curiously enough, this strategy is the least used by job seekers when seeking employment. The networks to cultivate include relatives, co-workers, neighbours, friends, sports groups & teammates, as just a few examples. What should you say when you re networking? Develop a 30-second infomercial about yourself! Include your name, educational background, intentions for work, and the transferable skills you possess. Since life happens - i.e., relocations and occasional periods of unemployment, developing strong networking capabilities is an asset for anyone in today's competitive market. Comox MFRC Employment & Education Services is here to assist you with developing all your marketing tool kit needs. PAGE 27 Phone to register:

33 Promotion de la santé de la 19 e Escadre 19 Wing Health Promotion HEALTH PROMOTION PHILOSOPHY The philosophy and approach of Health Promotion at 19 Wing is that of inclusiveness and free of judgement. We will never tell you to eat carrots or get off the couch. We re here to provide current information on health topics, to provide support when needed, and to make taking care of your health fun and interesting. All military members and their immediate family members, as well as DND/NPF employees, are eligible to participate in 19 Wing Health Promotion programs.

WEIGHT WELLNESS LIFESTYLE PROGRAM (WW) This course is designed with permanent lifestyle change in mind and is ideal for anyone wishing to lose weight, get fi t, and improve their overall health.

Weight Wellness focuses on long term weightloss and provides the strategies and skills to last a lifetime.

Everyone is affected by stress; it s how you manage it that makes the difference! MANAGING ANGRY MOMENTS (MAM) Don t let the title fool you, this is not an anger management course. MAM is about managing those everyday frustrations and healthy communication. If you desire less drama and stress in your life, this is the course for you!

Cofacilitated with a 19 Wing social worker, this course examines suicide in the CF and how to support those who may be considering suicide. Just like CPR, MFSA is a course that could save a life! ALCOHOL, DRUG, AND GAMBLING AWARENESS (ADGA) This course is ideal for parents or if you just want to learn more about the signs and symptoms of a potential addiction. Facilitated by the Health Promotion Director and Wing Addictions Counsellor (social worker), this course is ideal to enhance awareness of substance abuse. INJURY PREVENTION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (IPPA) Are you interested in becoming more active? Are you coming back from an injury or want to prevent injuries altogether? This course is ideal for anyone wanting more information on exercise for life and doing it injury-free. You will walk away with a program that will attend to both the art and science of exercise.
