How has the pandemic impacted your health and wellbeing? What has been helpful and what has not been helpful for your mental health?
Researchers from the University of Victoria are participating in a global collaboration to study the psychological impact of the pandemic and lockdown. We are asking people to complete a short questionnaire to better understand how the pandemic is affecting us all and its impact on our day to day lifestyle. We hope to find out what is helpful for people during this time and also what may be causing some people to be affected more than others in terms of their wellbeing.
Can you spare 15 minutes to help? Even if you filled out the 1st wave of this survey (Aug - Oct 2020), please also fill out this NEW 2nd WAVE of our survey! Click on the link to the questionnaire for more information: https://bit.ly/3828qkJ or scan the QR code.

Navicare/SoinsNavi is a patient navigation centre for children and youth with health care needs and their families in New Brunswick. A key component of the centre is our patient and family advisory council (PFAC), which consists of 7 volunteer members who advise the patient navigator and research team, as well as collaborates on special projects that arise from discussions with key stakeholders. Examples of projects led by the PFAC include a Journey Map, which is a visual aid developed to assist families with navigating the system from the moment of diagnosis; peer support videos that share stories about navigating the system; and a workshop for care providers and other caregivers of children with health care needs. PFAC members are often invited to participate in other related workshops, public outreach events, and conferences.
NaviCare/SoinsNavi is looking for a dynamic individual to join the PFAC. The position is a one (1) year renewable term beginning January 4, 2020. We are seeking someone with significant lived experience receiving services within the healthcare system as a youth with health needs, or as a parent, guardian, or other involved family member. The PFAC meets monthly in a virtual setting along with an in-person annual meeting in the spring.
If you are interested in becoming part of the PFAC, or know someone who would be a good fit, please reach out to cric@unb.ca. We look forward to hearing from you.
