August 7 2020

The unprecedented changes that have come from COVID-19 and uncertainty around the future can be difficult for anyone to navigate, but especially for health care and social services staff who are also walking alongside those in vulnerable situations. Compassion Network has compiled a list of online mental health resources designed to assist anyone struggling to stay calm and positive during these times. Front-line staff, we hope you’ll take a moment to care for yourselves.

A Reconciliation GatheringRecently, we came together for a day of learning, reflection and honest conversation focused on what meaningful reconciliation looks like in practice. Hosted at Anish Healing Centre, the gathering brought together staff, leaders, board members and members of our Indigenous Advisory Circle.Through presentations, fireside chats and group discussions, we explored practical ways health and social service organizations can create spaces where Indigenous staff and clients feel safe, respected, welcomed and cared for. From policies and hiring practices to accountability and inclusion, the focus was on meaningful change and the work still ahead.We forged relationships, had important conversations and shared a meal together, and are grateful for all those who were able to join us.•••Un rassemblement pour la réconciliationRécemment, nous nous sommes réunis pour une journée d’apprentissage, de réflexion et de conversations honnêtes autour de ce que signifie une réconciliation concrète en pratique.
