Each year, from August 1 to 7, World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated around the world to raise awareness of the importance and need for breastfeeding. The World Health Organization recognizes breastmilk as the best source of nutrition for infants, but breastfeeding can be a challenging, confusing, and overwhelming experience. As pediatric nurses, having knowledge about breastfeeding can help us better support breastfeeding individuals and babies in various pediatric settings. Keri Durocher is a Registered Nurse and one of our PedNIG communication officers.

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month in Canada. The Ontario Brain Injury Association (@ontariobia) shares:

“Brain injury happens in an instant. It does not discriminate, nor does it only impact one person. Brain injury changes the lives of people of all ages, genders and ethnicities, leaving little time to adapt. This disability lasts a lifetime and often leaves many with feelings of grief, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and an inability to cope.”

Dear members,
