The Canuck Place bereavement team invites you to attend our next Precious Pictures Workshop

This scrapbooking workshop will facilitate the creation of memory pages with images of your precious child. Your hosts will be Melanie Hameluck (RN), Karen Kooymangauthier (RN), and Natasha Zacher (counsellor).

Taking time to reflect, process, and remember is an important aspect of grieving. This gathering will provide a safe, relaxed environment to be together with other bereaved families and supportive staff as you individually work on your memory albums. There is opportunity, if you wish, to share with each other the stories of the photos and memories you have.

Please bring with you on the day of the workshop:
• Photos
• Poems
• Special stickers
• Other memory items you would like to include on your pages

We will supply all other scrapbooking materials. You are also welcome to drop by during this time for support and ideas of what to do with your scrapbook even if you do not feel ready to create one at this time.

Family Engagement at CPCH

Children and family are at the centre of the care provided at CPCH. We respond to the voices of our patients and families, and collaborate on improving care by working directly with families. Partnering with families and acknowledging their living and lived experiences are vital and valuable components to improving our program services. The vision for the framework is to ensure consistent, safe, and respectful engagement with children, youth, and families at CPCH, to fully represent the diverse perspectives and promote continual improvement of pediatric palliative care and services.
