A new group of volunteers recently used their unique talents, from singing to Highland dancing, to bring joy and support to patient well-being at Hospice Cape Breton.

This story emphasizes the role volunteers play in the palliative care circle. They provide so much more than assistance; they offer a sense of normalcy, culture, and "home" for patients and their families.

Thank you to these volunteers for turning their personal experiences into a beautiful gift for others. ❤️

Intentions are good, but skills are better. ❤️

When facing serious illness or grief, most Canadians feel unsure of what to say or do.

Your donation to CHPCA directly supports programs like Last Aid®, which break down the taboo surrounding death and equip family, friends, neighbours and caregivers with practical skills, not just good intentions.

Help us make compassionate support a skill, not a secret. Donate today to fund essential education: www.chpca.ca/donate.

Notre souhait des Fêtes le plus cher concerne les ressources nécessaires pour répondre aux besoins actuels et futurs en matière de soins palliatifs. 🌟

Nous avons besoin de suffisamment de lits pour les soins palliatifs, d'un soutien adéquat aux soins à domicile et d'un effectif solide et durable. Sans investissement, les lacunes que nous observons aujourd'hui ne feront que s'accentuer.

Nous avons besoin d'un système doté de ressources adéquates pour garantir que personne n'attende inutilement des soins, qu'aucun individu ou aucune famille ne se sente abandonné et qu'aucun fournisseur ne soit confronté à l'épuisement professionnel. Comment pouvez-vous contribuer à faire de ceci une réalité?

1️⃣ Communiquez avec vos représentants élus pour leur faire part de l'importance de cette question.
2️⃣ Soutenez l'ACSP par un don afin que nous puissions continuer à faire du plaidoyer.
3️⃣ Impliquez-vous auprès d'une maison de soins palliatifs ou d'un organisme de communautés compatissantes.

Ensemble, nous faisons avancer la compassion. 💞

Our grandest holiday wish is for the necessary resources to meet both current and future demand for hospice palliative care. We need enough hospice beds, adequate home care support, and a strong, sustainable workforce. Without investment, the gaps we see today will only widen.

We need a well-resourced system to ensure no one waits unnecessarily for care, no individual or family feels abandoned, and no provider faces burnout. How can you help make this a reality?

1️⃣ Contact your elected representatives to share why this matters.
2️⃣ Support CHPCA with a donation so we can continue to advocate.
3️⃣ Get involved with a hospice or compassionate communities organization.

Together, we move compassion forward. 💞

Chaque enfant atteint d'une maladie limitant l'espérance de vie mérite des soins palliatifs pédiatriques spécialisés, cohérents et compatissants, ainsi qu'un soutien pour sa famille. Ces soins sont une approche holistique visant à améliorer la qualité de vie, à soulager la souffrance et à fournir des soins actifs et totaux pour le corps, l'esprit et l'âme de l'enfant.

Affirmons la valeur de la vie de chaque enfant en investissant dans ces soins essentiels. Joignez-vous au mouvement et apprenez comment défendre un meilleur accès partout au Canada : https://loom.ly/IY41T-c.

Our Story - Notre Histoire

The CHPCA is the national voice for Hospice Palliative Care in Canada. Advancing and advocating for quality end-of-life/hospice palliative care in Canada, its work includes public policy, public education and awareness. Established in 1991, its volunteer Board of Directors is composed of hospice palliative care workers and volunteers from Canadian provinces and territories as well as members-at-large.

The Canadian Palliative Care Association (CPCA) was formally established as a national charitable organization in November 1991 and opened the first office in Ottawa in February 1994. The association’s first newsletter “AVISO” was published in both official languages in June, 1992.

Today, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is the national voice for hospice palliative care in Canada. It is a national charitable non-profit association whose mission is to provide leadership in hospice palliative care in Canada. We strive to achieve this mission by supporting research, promoting education and training, improving public awareness of hospice palliative care, and by advocating for increased programs and services. CHPCA works in close partnership with other national organizations and will continue to move forward with the goal of ensuring that all Canadians, regardless of where they may live, have equal access to quality hospice palliative care for themselves and their family.
