I am still so appreciative of the opportunity the 1199 Training and Upgrading Fund afforded me to attend the 2022 Embodied Social Justice Certificate Program hosted by Transformative Change.
I would not have been able to afford attendance on my own, so the funding support from the 1199 Fund was such a gift. The learning I experienced over this four-month program was immense. With a diverse community of learners, I was able to gain greater insights into unlearning oppressive systems, the impact of these systems on the care we give within our healthcare systems, on the relationships we have with those we care for, as well as with who we work alongside. This growth allows me to be a more empathetic, and hopefully, a more valuable member of our hospital community, who strives to be in the right relationship with all whom I share space with.
Thank you again, for all the work the Training Fund does to support workers looking to upgrade their skills, and access opportunities of personal and professional growth.
