Globally, 76 million domestic workers, mostly women, care for our children, ageing relatives, and our homes. 🏡

And yet, often they have no way to meet their own care needs.

#DomesticWorkers let us all thrive. Let’s help them thrive by recognizing their rights.

Another highlight was passing my CTRS exam and becoming a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist!

[CJ Cargill, CTRS @crystalcargill_]

It was such a busy semester! The absolute highlight of it all was travelling to New Orleans to attend the TALS conference as a future scholars fellow! Such an honour as a masters student. So grateful.

[CJ Cargill, CTRS @crystalcargill_]

@Crys_Watson Yes please!!!

[CJ Cargill, CTRS @crystalcargill_]

Anyone else feeling interested in a social justice approach to Therapeutic Recreation? It’s lonely and exhausting out here. There’s work to be done and I have a feeling it’s being done in isolation.

Due to stigma, fears of being a burden and ageism, older adults may not reach out if they'd like companionship. @DrSamirSinha discusses social isolation and loneliness with @YahooNews https://t.co/lxCJRRoJ9j

Very happy to announce that I have been selected to attend The Academy of Leisure Sciences (TALS) 2024 conference as a TALS Future Scholars Fellow! I am so excited to reconnect with my lovely leisure scholar friends in the US, while learning lots from my mentors and peers.

[CJ Cargill, CTRS @crystalcargill_]

It was a busy weekend indeed! Just wanted to take a moment to thank @cagacg for such an amazing conference. What a warm feeling it is to be among like-minded folk. #CAG_2023

“Yes, it’s about money. But, more importantly, for these workers, it’s about respect.

“Because having that pandemic pay yanked away sent a very clear message to those workers that their labour wasn’t being respected," @Prof_Savage.
