November 25, 2013

The Health Experiences research team of St. Mary's is thrilled to announce the launch of their website www.healthexperiences.ca. The website features the results of the first module: Family Caregiving based on individual interviews with 39 Canadians. This provides an opportunity to see, hear, and read a range of experiences from people who care for someone with a chronic physical illness. The Health Experiences team, lead by Susan Law, will be launching a French version of the website in early 2014. Work is also in progress for two exciting new modules - experiences of breast cander in women, and immigrant experiences with anxiety and depression. The team would like to express their gratitude to the St. Mary's Hospital Foundation for financial support of the first two modules, the participants who generously shared their experiences with us, and the to the many staff members at St. Mary's who collaborated on the project, without this support initiative would not be possible!
