In Search of Volunteers for our Peer Support Program

What is peer support?
People on their cancer journey often benefit from the practical help and advice they receive from others who have lived through similar situations. Support groups bring people together and provide a safe forum for exchanging perspectives, sharing concerns, and gaining confidence to face the future ahead.

Support groups are typically led by a trained health care professional. “Peer support” is a term we use to refer to advice and help received from fellow patients or people without medical training. 

How to Join

To join as peer support volunteer – application form:  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=a68d590160&e=ece80c31c3> https://www.hopespring.ca/getinvolved/volunteer

Searching for your help!
Are you or do you know someone who is part of the marginalized community going through a cancer journey? If so, we want to hear from you.

HopeSpring is seeking your help for an important research on cancer in the marginalized community. Our university students are looking for participants to interview. A marginalized community is defined as a group of people who experience alienation or disenfranchisement resulting from social exclusion and preventing them from participating fully in receiving adequate care during their cancer journey. This can include people with a disability, minorities, LGBTQ+2, Indigenous, and persons Living in Poverty.

To date, there has been limited research examining how HopeSpring is helping the marginalized community. We want to change that! As a part of our on-going workshop series, we are conducting research to examine how marginalized community navigate our programs to receive adequate care during their cancer journey.

We are passionate about making sure that the research findings help HopeSpring offers ways to help the marginalized community navigate our services and that we are offering programs that will assist them. As such, after the study is completed, a workshop will be provided to members and a report on the research results will be provided to HopeSpring executive board.

CBC's Marketplace mask study is a great read and is quite informative!
Wearing a mask is critical to reducing the spread of COVID-19, but rigorous tests conducted on behalf of CBC's Marketplace found that while some work very well, others offer little protection from the particles that transmit the novel coronavirus. One type of mask can even spread those particles to others. For more information go to CBC site link.

When You Should See a Community Dietitian?
Cancer and cancer treatment can affect your appetite (when you do not have a feeling of hunger or interest in food). You may also have questions about what you should eat.
Talk to your health care team about any trouble you have eating (e.g. upset stomach, trouble swallowing) or if it becomes harder to eat.

A Registered Dietitian has training in food and nutrition. A Registered Dietitian will work with you to make a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
