Our hospitals have unveiled artwork by Nlaka'pamux and Sto:lo artist, Ovilia Mailho, in honour & remembrance of the children found in unmarked graves at former Indian residential schools. It's a reminder of our ongoing journey toward Truth and Reconciliation.

Proceedings are underway for day one of @hsabc annual Convention. Happy to see many returning delegates along with some new delegates, many of whom are young workers who traditionally are underrepresented in union governance #hsabc23

I had the most incredible experience at my first ever #ACLP #childlife conference at @GaylordNational in MD. I learned so much about programs from around the globe and met many incredible connections along the way. Looking forward to bringing all I learned back to Vancouver ✈️

@amandayyc29 @ChildLifeEm @AssocChildLife Thank you!! It was wonderful!!

[Lisa Daechsel (she/her) @LisaDaechsel]

I am so excited I was able to reconnect with my internship supervisor @ChildLifeEm at the ACLP conference after not seeing each other for 7 years! She taught me so much and I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for her guidance and support #childlife @AssocChildLife

The burnout stress is real for Child Life Professionals (and all healthcare workers). Their takeaway from my talk? You can’t say yes to self-healing til you start saying no. #ACLP

[Lisa Daechsel (she/her) @LisaDaechsel]

Day 2 of ACLP child life conference starting out with a key note from @drlindamcghee discussing burnout and self-care. A relevant topic for this group of #childlifespecialists

[Lisa Daechsel (she/her) @LisaDaechsel]

Excited to be attending my first ever child life conference with @AssocChildLife to experience a range of education sessions and network with child life specialists from around the world!

Everyone knows their own gender best and should be able choose their own gender designation on their ID, without a doctor to verify. We are removing this unfair barrier for two-spirit, transgender, and gender diverse people in BC. https://t.co/CAWbF3zoKx
