Stories of SickKids.
From May - July 2017 I was the Strategic Communications Intern at The Hospital for Sick Children.
The little soldier.
“Ethan calls himself a little soldier. When it comes time for a procedure he will rush out of the room on his own, ripping his cords out of the wall to gain another bead for his collection. Every time he gets a bead he feels like he has accomplished something. Ask him what his favourite bead is and he’ll point to the tiger because the tiger is strong."
Growing up brave.
“Bravery beads were an important part of keeping me brave as a young child at SickKids, and have continued to be an important part of keeping me brave even in the last four years, as I have spent a great amount of time admitted on many floors as an adolescent. IV pokes, blood work, and emergency room visits don't get any easier as you get older so having a bead to count on at the end of the day has kept me strong throughout some of my weakest moments. A few weeks ago after turning 18 and graduating from SickKids, I received my final goodbye bead. I'll hold onto that bead, and all my many others, forever!”

Happy Birthday Soleil! Soleil celebrated her birthday (on the first day of summer ☀️) with all her friends in Marnie's Lounge! She took all her guests to France 🇫🇷 to play all her favourite games! Oh là là! 🎁🎉
Share Research.
For National Drowning Prevention Week let us introduce you to Dr. Tessa Clemens! Tessa is a Research Fellow for the Centre for Global Child Health at SickKids. Her work focuses on injury surveillance systems in low- and middle-income countries. She’s also a drowning expert. Her dissertation research focused on the epidemiology and prevention of drowning in Canada, and the reporting and classification of drowning deaths worldwide.
Promote Wellness.
This week is Canadian Environment Week! Nature can have a profound impact on everything that we do, from how we provide patient care to the happiness of staff, patients and families. In recognition of this year’s theme of reconnecting people to nature, SickKids is featuring an #SKPlace that allows patients and families to reconnect with nature while at the hospital.
The Lifesaving Society designates the third week in July as National Drowning Prevention Week (NDPW) to focus community and media attention on the drowning problem and drowning prevention.
Throughout NDPW the Lifesaving Society, Ontario is active on social media. I create public education messages that target the high risk drowning groups for distribution on social media.
My job is to make the message matter to our community.
If they care, they will share, those shares can lead to educating Canadians about water safety and prevent drowning deaths.
Our community is full of caring and kind people.
Thanks to Social Media Chair Megan Hutchison for her contributions to the Society’s strong social media presence during the summer months and in particular during National Drowning Prevention week.”

Get the training. Hours of training goes into becoming a national lifeguard.
Every moment of training goes into turning skills into muscle memory. Those skills save lives.
This is the Beacon Bible Camp skills camp 2016. They have just taken their national lifeguard waterfront course and they look pretty stoked about it.

It's never too late to learn something new. Buddy is teaching Manny and his friends how to do CPR to help others in an emergency.
You can take a standard first aid course to learn how to rescue those in need. A fast response allows for a higher chance of survival. You have the chance to be a hero.
