Parents in the 'peg'

I'm at the Canadian Association for Pediatric Health Centres conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Yesterday was an all-day session with the Canadian Family Advisory Network -- parents from across the country who sit on family advisories at their hospitals. It was a fascinating day with many heartfelt firsthand stories of raising -- and sometimes losing -- children with disabilities or chronic health conditions.

I spoke about the BLOOM blog and we did a session looking at barriers and solutions to getting hospitals and family advisories involved in using social media.

I'm looking forward to connecting with more parents and perhaps recruiting a few to guest blog with us. Happy Monday!
