Welcome to the kick-off of PSW Week. In respect to it being nurse's week I will not be kicking off PSW week early, but will be letting you in on whats to come for next week. Over the course of the last 2 weeks I have been interviewing PSW's on their stories and it's been a pleasure. For PSW Week we are taking these stories and putting them across our platforms.
Thank-you for your hard work, and thank-you for your support.
We love you! :)

I speak with Beth Davidson from Conestoga College on the college's new Supportive Care program. This program offers actual education for those interested in being Supportive Care workers- something I personally stand for... better education that isn't designed to replace the PSW by cutting corners.
The program offers employment and support while navigating the course. I am so excited to bring it to your ears!

This week with The PSW Podcast, we are joined by a past work colleague of mine named Danielle. I met Danielle through my work in ICU and found myself "tapping" with her for a brief time as a way to cope with my PTSD. Danielle and I discuss "Tapping" and the benefits it has on the body while being an extremely accessible (and affordable) mental health resource.
