SUMMARY:Launching C.A.R.P. Nova Scotia's Position Paper: Working Together to Bring Home Care Home
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/765993967398142 \n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (C.A.R.P.) Nova Scotia Chapter.COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on Canadians over the age of 60\, accounting for nearly 97% of all deaths in Canada. Though these effects have been more visible in long-term care (LTC) facilities\, the COVID-19 pandemic has placed an overwhelming strain on the entire continuing care sector\, including home care.  \n\n\n\nThe system continues to be under immense pressure as it grapples with neglect as well as an aging population.As such\, there is an urgent need for significant investment and reform in continuing care. As part of a wider national advocacy campaign\, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (C.A.R.P.) Nova Scotia Chapter has developed five priority actions to transform home care in the province and across the country.  \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us for a panel discussion on C.A.R.P. Nova Scotia’s Continuing Care Position Paper: Working Together to Bring Home Care Home.To register for this event\, click here: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_z3f_qQtjS2ur0mW4NYc-gA \n\n\n\nFor more information on the event\, please visit: https://www.dal.ca/…/maceac…/events/Home-Care-Panel.html

SUMMARY:Queer Doula Toolkit Launch event
DESCRIPTION:https://fb.me/e/2e9sGonsX \n\n\n\nLike many spaces\, healthcare is built upon a history and continuing legacy of providing ciscentric and heteronormative care. The systemic mistreatment of 2SLGBTQ+ people within the healthcare system carries over into pregnancy and birthing spaces\, which can create experiences of alienation and trauma for queer birthing people and their families.  \n\n\n\nThis project\, along with the work of Wellness Within’s Queer Doula Training Program\, aims to centre queer birth safety by contributing to queer birth education and increasing the number of queer-identified doulas in Nova Scotia. \n\n\n\nHosted by Wellness Within and NSPIRG \n\n\n\nWho: Toolkit Content Coordinators Nicole Marcoux and Jordan Roberts\, Queer Doula Coordinator Clark MacIntosh \n\n\n\nModerated by: Caitlin Hartlen\, Fierté Canada Pride’s Director at Large \n\n\n\nWhat: A moderated discussion about the creation of the Queer Doula Toolkit\, Wellness Within’s Doula Training Program\, and improving perinatal supports for queer families. \n\n\n\nWhen: June 17th\, 7:30pm ADT (5:30pm CT / 3:30pm PT) \n\n\n\nWhere: Zoom. Register by emailing womenswellnesswithinns@gmail.com with the subject line “Queer Doula Toolkit Launch” \n\n\n\nSince going live on June 3rd\, the Queer Doula Toolkit has been downloaded and shared across Canada\, the US and even the UK! While we are thrilled at the early feedback and support for this project\, the lack of queer-centred doula and healthcare education has become glaringly obvious. In sharing our process and collaboration methods\, we hope to inspire additional research and capacity for providing queer competent health care on a broader level.*Live ASL interpretation will be available*

SUMMARY:Decolonizing Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/140998941430889/ \n\n\n\nEverybody is welcome to attend the upcoming meeting\, even if you missed the launch. \n\n\n\nUpcoming meetings: \n\n\n\nThursday\, June 17 at 7:30 pm ADT \n\n\n\nWednesday\, June 30 at 7:30 pm ADT \n\n\n\nWednesday\, July 14 at 7:30 pm ADT \n\n\n\nWednesday\, July 28 at 7:30 pm ADT \n\n\n\nOn June 2\, we launched a biweekly Decolonizing Book Club\, guided by Mi’kmaw educator Chris George. As Chris explains\, “Fundamentally\, decolonizing means building relationships and raising awareness. We need settler support\, because the laws and structures that harm Indigenous peoples are put in place by a settler government. This is an opportunity to build those relationships and raise awareness.” \n\n\n\nChris George is a Ph.D student in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of New Brunswick. His graduate research focuses on Indigenous cultural and political resurgence. \n\n\n\nThe book club sessions are free and hosted online. Register here for the Zoom link and to receive book club updates. \n\n\n\n**Upcoming meeting was rescheduled** Thursday\, June 17\, at 7:30 pm \n\n\n\nReadings: \n\n\n\nWhose Land Is It Anyway: A Manual for Decolonization: Preface\, Part 1: The Machinery of Colonialism\, Part II: The Resurgence (to the end of “Decolonization: The Frontline Struggle”) \n\n\n\nBook club reading List: \n\n\n\n1.
