Video of Encouragement

One of our virtual programs includes a video of encouragement for the resident that will be sent to Magnolia Glen on Tuesday April, 28th. With the help of supervisors, Sherron and Sonya, our video will be shared to Magnolia Glen's TV station. The target market for the video is the residents of Magnolia Glen. They will be able to watch the video in the comforts of their room and on their own time. Our video product video will be comprised of short 20-30 second clips of students in PRT 358, PRT 152 and students in our SL group. Each clip submitted by the students will contain a short introduction and a message of encouragement for the residents while doing some form of leisure activity (cooking, playing an instrument, dancing, walking a dog, drawing, painting, shooting basketball, exercising, skateboarding, etc.) We know that the outbreak of COVID-19 has taken a huge toll on the residents' emotional and mental health because they are being forced into isolation and drastically change their everyday routines. Our greatest hopes are to encourage and support them and let them know we are thinking of them during this trying time. We are aiming to make this a personal experience for the residents, and spark internal inspiration and motivation.

Materials/Equipment

• Every resident has access to a TV in their living quarters. The video will be broadcasted on Magnolia Glen's TV station, and played on a loop, so the resident can tune in on their own time.

• Internet access

Facilities

• To engage and participate in the virtual program, residents will need to be in their living quarters. The residents will most likely be watching the video by themselves or with their roommates in their living room or bedroom. The resident will have the opportunity to share their thoughts with other residents as they mingle throughout the facility (wearing protective face masks and at a distance of course).

Safety Considerations

• There are no safety hazards for the residents while they are watching the video.

• The materials needed for this activity is just a piece of paper, an envelope, a pencil, and a stamp.

Facilities

Safety Considerations

• The letters were hand delivered to Magnolia Glen and dropped off at the main entrance doors.

The letters come from children and their families that have more contact to the outside world, leaving a greater risk for spreading the virus.

• We will be sure to use disinfectants, gloves and face mask during the delivery process.
