Discussion: Genetic Technologies in Health Care

We are looking for people to take part in an interactive workshop to do with genomics and ‘personalized medicine'. We hope to find out what people think about screening for disease, and predicting risk of future disease.

The latest research in genetics might be useful for disease prevention, and might be suitable for everyone, not just families affected by serious genetic conditions.

We are looking for parents of young children (under the age of 5) because part of the exercise involves discussing newborn screening (the heel prick). We hope you will consider sharing your views.

The event is free, but places are limited. Please contact Samantha Craigie to register.

 

We will provide refreshments and assistance with costs to cover time and travel.

Why Does Bullying Hurt So Much?

For decades, schoolyard bullying has been considered by many to be a normal part of childhood, a "rite of passage" that can help to "toughen kids up" or "build character".  At the same time, common sense tells us that being bullied hurts. It hurts so much that some youth take their life or consider suicide as a way of ending their suffering.  Canadian Research Chair Children's Mental Health, Tracy Vaillancourt, will be providing parents with insights on the effects of bullying and how we can help our children.

Optimal Foetal Positioning And Your Labour

It is known that a mother’s position and movement could influence the way her baby lay in the womb in the final weeks of pregnancy. Many difficult labours result from ‘malpresentation’, where the baby’s position makes it hard for the head to move through the pelvis, so changing the way the baby lies could make birth easier for mother and child. Come and learn how you can encourage and influence your baby to the optimal position.
