UW Community Action Now - CAN

Good morning everyone and Happy Transformational Tuesday :) For this week, we have two informative podcasts to share regarding homelessness and healthcare. Listen and learn from various voices regarding topics such as food insecurity, food banks, homelessness and addiction, and more! We hope these episodes can provide some insight on the struggles and obstacles that the homeless population face on a daily basis, particularly with the healthcare system. Enjoy listening and have a wonderful week!

Happy Transformational Tuesday! Today's topic is Vision Impairment. Vision Impairment is a disability that can severely impact ones life. As future pharmacists, it is beneficial to learn the challenges and impacts of those living with vision impairments, and what pharmacists can do to help! Have a great day everyone! 😀👀👁

Happy Transformational Tuesday everyone! Today's topic is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is one of the most common developmental disabilities in Canada, with approximately 1 in 66 Canadian children being diagnosed. As healthcare professionals, it is important to have an understanding of ASD to provide better care and support for individuals with autism. Have a great week everyone and happy learning!

Happy Transformational Tuesday everyone! :)

This week we have a podcast recommendation for you regarding veterans and substance abuse. Many veterans around the world have substance use disorders and are at higher risk of addiction. In this Vets First podcast, we hear from two army veterans, Trever Siver and Henry Uken who discuss their battles with addiction and their journey to sobriety. The Vets First podcast also offers interviews with Veterans who have other specific conditions and from researchers who are studying those topics as well. Check out this podcast at the following link: https://news.va.gov/94842/vets-first-podcast-s2-e4-two-candid-discussions-about-drug-use-disorders/
