What makes a great schedule for Personal Support Workers (PSWs)? At VHA, we believe the best answers come from those who live the experience every day.

Through our Champions of Change Fellowship, our PSW fellows led a powerful project grounded in data, lived experience, and collaboration to develop recommendations aimed at improving scheduling systems across the organization. From reducing burnout to strengthening client relationships, their insights are ensuring that VHA never stops improving our care, delivered with heart.

Caring for a loved one is profoundly meaningful, but it also requires incredible devotion. When that chapter ends with the passing of a loved one, many caregivers find themselves disconnected from their previous self and have difficulty transitioning back to life before they were a caregiver.

Answering the question “what comes next” takes time and reflection. Thankfully, there are strategies available to you when making such a monumental change in your life.

Some tips that can guide you during this difficult time include:

- Restore your health and routine
- Make space for complex emotions
- Explore what brings you fulfilment
- Get support and take your time

Meet Suzan! One of our dedicated and skilled Support Workers in the Child and Family Program. With a professional and caring approach, she provides in-home support to families—offering parenting mentorship, building essential skills, and offering hands-on help where it's needed most. Suzan plays a key role in empowering parents and creating positive, nurturing environments for children to thrive.

“When I gave birth, I didn’t know about VHA. I didn’t receive the kind of help I’m now able to give. I chose this job so I could help parents get through what is often a difficult and stressful time,” explains Suzan.

For Suzan, the most rewarding part of her role is caring for infants (0–4 years old) providing meaningful infant stimulation and child development. She spends her time comforting little ones, attending to their personal needs, and engaging them in activities that promote healthy development. Whether it's soothing a fussy baby, playing developmental games, or supporting new parents with infant care techniques, Suzan brings warmth, patience, and expertise to every home she visits.

Thanks to dedicated care providers like Suzan, VHA’s Child and Family Program is helping to strengthen families by ensuring parents get the rest and support they need to care for their mental wellness—and in turn, care more fully for their children.

Nicole began volunteering at VHA in 2022 as a student preparing to apply for medical school. She was looking for hands-on experience in a health care setting. However, her experience at VHA gave her even more than the experience she was looking for.

Nicole found herself in a supportive environment dedicated to helping her grow. She developed relationships with the nurses she supported and absorbed their knowledge by watching their interactions with patients.

“I really loved how the nurses handled each patient — with both skill and kindness. They were amazing at calming fears and making people feel cared for, and it was clear how much their patients appreciated them,” says Nicole.

Nicole’s advice for others thinking about volunteering at VHA: “Go for it! The team is welcoming and invested in your learning. Simply being in that space taught me so much.”

Nicole’s volunteering experience was a unique benefit as she prepared to apply for medical school and her future career in health care. Volunteering at VHA contributed to Nicole’s pathway to success and we’re so proud to have played a supportive role in her journey.
