Catching the Wave of Opportunity!
Catching the Wave of Opportunity!
As we embark on a new year there is an intense desire to “move on” and shut the door on the tumultuous events of 2020 – not the least of which was the onslaught of a perilous pandemic that continues to claim a disproportionate number of the most marginalized and vulnerable in our society -- elders and staff in long-term care. These horrific experiences have blatantly exposed underlying societal stigmas, stereotypes, biases, and a flawed system.
The reality is, we can’t ‘go back to normal’ or simply move on, but instead recognize this as a crucible moment. Now is the time to speak up and out, highlighting the good and using that spark to ignite systemic changes that champion quality of life and equality. Amid the pain lies the greatest opportunity for growth and healing.
In this webinar, you will be inspired by stories from the frontlines that displayed courage and creativity and learn how to leverage their collective insights to take action. It is time to ‘catch the wave of opportunity’ that is before us and be a catalyst for change and social justice.
