  • Words from our Community

    “ The GoodYarn was a great workshop to learn how to support employees through mentally tough times and what resources and help is available. Now the focus is getting our team leaders and supervisors to attend so as a team we can have more conversations around mental health, check in on each other and support the mental wellbeing of the team. My biggest takeaway was that you need to ask the questions. Thank you Headlight and GoodYarn, you are doing great things in our community - keep up the good work!”

    -Danielle Ingles, General Manager of Azur Lodge

    “ It’s never been more important to focus on our mental wellbeing and check in on those around us who might be doing it tough. The GoodYarn workshop gave me simple tools to talk about mental health, to start those often daunting conversations that can really make all the difference.”
