@uofcknes @OBrien_IPH @erinbrennand @jamielbenham @GROWW_Program It has been a long time from in my life to see this research (@millie_mardon congrats) as not a day goes by where students & I @AlissaKazakoff speak about how accepting we can be of pain or think it is the norm.

I’m a huge fan of @millie_mardon - this is research that actually makes a difference in how we work with women who are dealing with persistent pain

Our interactive Women’s Health exhibit is live today at the Calgary Central Public Library! It’s been so moving to hear people’s stories and hear their wishes for a better future in women’s health. As a mother myself, this wish really resonated with me ❤️
