JANET used HUDDOL,  an exciting new platform,  for a webinar to raise her voice and use her experience to push for change.  Webinars target a specific group and then make the information available on the internet for all to access. This event was hosted by Family Caregivers of BC​ It unpacked the stages of caregiving, each with challenges and opportunities of their own. 
If you have an hour, this is a learning experience about the arc of caregiving.

JANET was invited by Alberta Health Services to speak about her experience to a group of professionals and practitioners. One of Janet's goals is to get the ear of those on the other side of the gurney, so to speak. The theme was Slow Dancing with Goliath. This  is her metaphor for any large health bureaucracy with good heart but many blind spots.
It runs an hour and requires you to load Adobe. But it's worth the effort. ​
