The Special Olympics Healthy Athletes Team is looking for Volunteers to help delivering free health screening for people with intellectual disabilities.
The Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program addresses the unique issues that many people with intellectual disabilities face when accessing health care and communicating their needs. Through Healthy Athletes, Special Olympics trains volunteer health practitioners to deliver free health screenings and education to people with intellectual disabilities. Healthy Athletes screenings lead to referrals back into the health care system, to ensure the individuals get the treatment they need.

We are writing to invite Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students registered for accommodation through the Centre for Accessibility at UBC to participate in our research study.

Dear students,
As a nursing student, your insights are incredibly valuable in shaping the future of nursing education and advocating for meaningful change.
The Canadian Nursing Students’ Association (CNSA) and the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) invite you to participate in a brief survey that will help us better understand the challenges nursing students face and how we can work to address them. This survey delves into key issues in nursing education such as financial stress, mental wellbeing, and career readiness.
At the end of the survey, you can enter a giveaway to win one of 33 $100 gift cards to the scrubs brand FIGS. Three students in each province, and three students from all territories combined, will be randomly selected after the survey closes on November 24th. By entering the giveaway, you agree to provide some form of enrollment verification, and consent to have your name shared on social media if selected. Click here to start the survey.
By taking just five minutes to share your insights, you’ll empower the CNSA and CFNU to push for stronger supports and resources for nursing students like you.
If you are having any technical issues with the survey, please contact Natalie Pilla at npilla@viewpoints.ca. If you have any other questions or concerns about this survey, please contact Eyasu Yakob at pastpresident@cnsa.ca
Thanks for your participation!
