  Dear Community Service Providers,

  Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre Society and BC Association of Pregnancy Outreach Programs (BCAPOP) would like to invite Smithers & area helping professionals and peers to a community conversation online meeting.

  We will be launching the Healthy Care Pregnancy Program (HCPP) Project to the surrounding area and discussing how we can work together to best support pregnant and newly parenting individuals using substances.  We will be connecting with Manal, the new HCPP inreach worker from the Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre Society in this role.

  There will be discussion about what services the HCPP inreach worker will be providing and a sharing space for what other organizations and acute care centers are offering during this time to pregnant and newly parenting individuals using substances.

  Please feel free to forward other local service providers who support perinatal individuals using substances.

  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact BCAPOP Project Manager, Andrea Grady at projectmanager@bcapop.ca.

  BCAPOP Featured Event:
  Compassion Fatigue: Caring for Ourselves while Caring for Others
  presented by: Dr. Gabor Maté 

  January 18, 2022 | 9am - 12pm pt | virtual

  
  

  Join us for an interactive, virtual presentation by renowned speaker, and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté on January 18, 2022. Dr. Maté will present Compassion Fatigue: Caring for Ourselves while Caring for Others, followed by an interactive Q&A with participants.

  About the presentation:
  Though compassion fatigue is an oft-used phrase, how accurate is it? Does one truly become fatigued by feeling, expressing, or manifesting compassion? This workshop will explore the deeper source of the well-known phenomenon of burnout, when people engaged in caring for others experience a depletion of their energies, a psychic and physical lassitude. That deeper source, it will be demonstrated, is to be found the personal history of the individual and his or her relationship to the work, not merely in the nature of the work itself. Practices will be taught to prevent what is known as compassion fatigue, and to restore our energies if we have been affected by it.

  *Compassion Fatigue: Caring for Ourselves while Caring for Others is based on the book When The Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress (U.S. subtitle: Understanding the Stress-Disease Connection)

  Who should attend? 
  Pregnancy outreach workers, nurses, physicians, child welfare workers, family support workers, social workers, health/social service students, outreach workers, shelter workers, detox workers, treatment centre workers, midwives, doulas, child birth educators, peer support workers and anyone else who supports pregnant individuals.
