The Risk and Resilience in the Health and Care Workforce project, based out of Simon Fraser University, is conducting research on how women working in health and social service roles have been particularly affected by the pandemic. For more information about the project see: https://www.sfu.ca/fhs/gendercovid/risk—resilience-.html
In order to learn more specifically from the experiences of women working on the front lines in community social services, we are hosting virtual focus groups on Tuesday 23 February at 7 pm and Thursday 25 February from 7-8pm PST. Focus groups will last approximately an hour and be structured around a few key questions, as well as open discussion. If you identify as a woman and are working in community social services, we want to hear from you!
To register for a focus group, or for more information, please email Dr. Julia Smith at jhs6@sfu.ca, indicating which date you are available.
