BC Hospice Palliative Care Association is a not-for-profit, public membership organization, which has been representing individuals and organizations committed to promoting and delivering hospice/palliative care to British Columbians since 1986. We are focused on Advocacy, Education, Membership Support and Public Awareness. We are currently planning our triennial Grief, Bereavement and Mental Health Summit 2024 (GBMH), now in its second iteration. Previously held virtually, this year's Summit will mark a transition to an in-person format, reflecting our commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration in the field of grief and bereavement. The Summit will continue its exploration of the metamorphosis of grief and bereavement, particularly in light of the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and our collective journey towards recovery and integration. Through insightful discussions and shared experiences, we aim to delve deeper into the evolving landscape through more examination of research, and best practices. We are looking for a few go-getter students to help us with the planning process of this event. It is an opportunity for students to develop soft skills such as communication, planning and problem solving. You will be working most closely with our event coordinator, Lillian Chen.
