Do you have a story about pregnancy and smoking?

Printer-friendly version

The BC Centre of Excellence for Women's Health (located at BC Women's Hospital) is looking for volunteers to help them with a digital storytelling project.

For the past 10 years, the BCCEWH has been doing women-friendly research on smoking in pregnancy and in the postpartum period and developing information and tools to support women to find ways of quitting smoking that makes sense for them. They also work with nurses, physicians, midwives, and other folks who work with pregnant women and new moms. They'd like you to share your stories with them so they can learn more about what helps, what doesn't work, and ways they can change to better support women. 

If you're pregnant or have had a baby within the past 18 months and have tried to or quit smoking during this time and this sounds interesting to you, let them know!

They're holding a two day digital storytelling workshop on Feb 21 + Feb 22, 10-4!

* Learn how to create a digital story with basic computer software, photos and simple drawings.
* Meet other women and hear about their experiences around smoking and pregnancy.
* Have the chance to share your story with a broader audience - other women, physicians, nurses, midwives and others who work with pregnant women and new moms.
* Lunch and honorarium provided.

"Every woman has her own reasons for smoking. Every woman can find her own way of quitting and staying smoke-free in her own time."
