A nurse’s advice to family caregivers
The caregiving journey can start very slowly, and the stress and overwhelm can creep up on you in the same way. It is extremely important to be aware of your own health changes, and to know that they are likely to occur if your caregiving becomes a full-time job. The Family Caregivers’ Network has numerous resources to assist you in your own “self care”. We can be found online at familycaregiversnetwork.org . Or call us in Victoria, BC at (250) 384-0408.

Brave Nurses – Circumcision Video
Sheila Curran, RN recalls the events that led to her making the video “Informed Consent” documenting infant circumcision. Sheila is one of the founding members of NOCIRC, National Organization of Circumcision Information and Resource Centers. Curran and Marilyn Milos, RN used their video to educate parents-to-be about the reality of circumcision, so that “consent” for circumcision could truly be informed. The video is still being used effectively to educate. Since Curran’s video was made the circumcision rate in the US has dropped to 32.5% (according to recent figures from the CDC.) The pioneering work these brave nurses began 30 years ago continues to inspire human rights activists for genital integrity world wide. The full version of Informed Consent is viewable here: www.youtube.com

Nurses share their reviews of CaringBridge, a health social network that provides free, personal and private websites for people experiencing a significant health challenge. Their first-hand recommendations explain why this network is important to providing healthcare updates to family and friends. Learn more at www.caringbridge.org

2010 Be A Tipping Point Film
Violence is a leading cause of premature death in San Franciscos low-income communities. Youth face harm in the very places meant to nurture them—at home, school, and in their neighborhoods. These same children experience increased risk of chronic medical, mental health, substance abuse, educational and employment issues as adults, trapping them in a downward spiral of poverty and violence. A support system exists, but is not easily accessed by those who need it most. Low-income parents struggle to find quality resources, while balancing work, caring for their children and meeting their familys basic needs. Agencies providing the best care are often located far away from families and far away from each other. Without a strong infrastructure for collaboration in place, practitioners cant easily share information and have difficulty following families and tracking their outcomes. Your donation ensures that leading practitioners dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of San Franciscos low-income families will come together under one roof to help children thrive. Within a single building located in southeast San Francisco, the citys most effective youth-serving professionals will revolutionize urban healthcare by providing abuse response and prevention, pediatric care, mental health and educational resources. With your help, local police, doctors, nurses, educators, family advocates and community leaders will create a groundbreaking new resource to protect our citys …
