The reins of freedom are found through many paths.

Around 13 years ago, I met with a case worker from WorkBC while waiting for surgery. As we chatted about why I was there, I remember wondering what it would be like to have their job. Then I thought about all of the education they must have completed to be in that role and I decided it couldn’t be something for me.

A Coquihalla Elementary School hallway has been turned into an interactive sensory pathway thanks to support provided by Free Rein Associates. Filled with guided movements for kids to follow, this sensory pathway allows students to work off excess energy and develop motor skills such as balance, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness.

Free Rein Associates is excited to share that our Care Connections program has been expanded! Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have put access to services and health care directly in our hands. However, for many people, this technology is unavailable. If someone is unable to access a smartphone — whether do to cost or digital literacy skills — it often becomes a barrier to receiving critical health care and supports.
