Just in case you've been wondering how #hospice care is going in the United States now that so much of it is done by large for-profit corporations, here's a sobering, scary piece on that @NewYorker

Day 1 of International 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Thank you @CTVNews for highlighting @TheCridgeCentre's leading work around #braininjury caused by #intimatepartnerviolence Thanks to @GraceALore for being in this dialogue too! https://t.co/FXmWqiEfqT...

[Board Voice Society @boardvoicebc]

We're excited for the work underway with @CanadaSoar and the Embrace Clinic that will put more data to the giant yet largely invisible crisis of #IntimatePartnerViolence and #braininjury. #ipvbi

Each minute represents 10,000 of the 150,000 children who were forced into residential schools. #EveryChildMatters

We doubt there's a #nonprofitorganization alive who would disagree that reluctance of donors & govt funders to support realistic overhead is a HUGE problem. Some %s are as low as 6%, and 10% is common for the most part - a third of what's recommended here. https://t.co/H9yk0e5eEu

Ally or accomplice? A thoughtful read from Kelsie Kilawna @IndigiNewsMedia on the difference between the two for #IndigenousPeoples. "An accomplice answers the call to responsibility, and allies only answer the call to action." #decolonize https://t.co/VKiU5szrXH

Big praise for BC's amazing #CommunitySocialServices sector, 42,000 employees strong & foundational to #socialcare. "They are the people that British Columbians can turn to for support." Indeed, @NicholasSimons & @MitziDeanBC #nonprofitsdoitbetter https://t.co/v2Or1dHgmb

[Vancouver Foundation @VancouverFdn]

Great news for charities in #bcbudget2022!

We’re excited to get to work with @BCGovNews and

See what else is in the budget:

This story of #IntimatePartnerViolence is grabbing headlines after being lost at criminal trial but successful in a civil suit. But equally important: it highlights insidious impact of #braininjury, a factor in estimated 75% of domestic assaults. https://t.co/aTGoRVdmPd

[Board Voice Society @boardvoicebc]

A useful explainer from @APTN on the $20 bill agreement in principle for child welfare compensation for #FirstNations people discriminated against by historic underfunding of child & family services on reserves and Yukon by Cdn government. https://t.co/BoiRRWEDSx

[Board Voice Society @boardvoicebc]

Fascinating & unsettling read on trends in BC life expectancy 1990-2016. "The report...confirms what has been understood for a good half-century or more: policy passed into law can improve health or weaken it, lengthen life or shorten it." #socialpolicynow https://t.co/3VDyiOe3EF

[Board Voice Society @boardvoicebc]

Something about this story sounds so familiar! Oh, wait...this already happened right here in BC, where Maximus holds $200 million in contracts to provide employment training. https://t.co/lqCYcirc3f #PrivatizationNoSolution

[Board Voice Society @boardvoicebc]

No hiding the major problems in current BC services for children & youth with special needs. Now we'll try something new, but it's only the solution if it comes with sufficient funding for children and families' actual needs. #cysn #specialneeds https://t.co/TJpYcyDS5J
