Myth vs. Fact Friday!!

Myth: You must attend a post-secondary institution as a full-time student to continue your education.

Fact: Continuing your education doesn’t have to mean enrolling full-time in a college or university! Learning can take many forms, and there are a variety of flexible ways to grow your knowledge and skills. The North Simcoe Muskoka Hospice Palliative Care Network (NSMHPCN) offers numerous free educational opportunities designed for healthcare professionals, volunteers, and anyone interested in palliative care.

Through webinars, ECHO sessions, online workshops, and interactive learning modules, you can:
- Deepen your understanding of palliative and end-of-life care
- Learn new practical skills to support patients and families
- Stay current with best practices and emerging research
- Connect with a community of learners and experienced educators

These resources are accessible anywhere and anytime, allowing you to learn at your own pace—without needing to commit to full-time study. Whether you’re seeking professional development, personal growth, or a way to better support your community, lifelong learning is achievable for everyone.

Pro Tip: Take advantage of NSMHPCN’s free educational programs to continue your journey of learning, build your confidence, and enhance your impact in the field of palliative care. You don’t need to be a full-time student to make learning a meaningful part of your life! Visit https://nsmhpcn.ca/education for more information.

🍵 Join the Conversation at Death Café 🍪

This workshop offers a unique and welcoming space where individuals can gather to share sweet treats, sip tea, and engage in open conversations about death.

Unlike grief support groups or counselling sessions, Death Café is simply a discussion group—there’s no set agenda or prescribed themes. It’s about creating a safe, respectful environment where curiosity and conversation are encouraged.

Hosted by South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre (SGBCHC), these sessions are guided by a North Simcoe Muskoka Hospice Palliative Care Network (NSMHPCN) Pain and Palliative Symptom Management Consultant, ensuring thoughtful and compassionate facilitation.

✨ Upcoming Death Café Gatherings:

📅 Tuesday, November 25th, 2025
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Springwater Library
southgeorgianbaychc.ca/event/506/

Come as you are, bring your questions, and join in meaningful conversation.

Small moments of compassion can make the biggest impact. When we choose kindness — lending a hand, offering a smile, or simply listening — we help create a community where everyone feels seen and supported. 💫

Let’s keep spreading kindness, not for recognition, but because every caring act makes our world a little brighter. 🌿
