Welcome Rita to this month's staff spotlight!
Rita is one of our Child and Family Wellbeing Workers. She joined the HPCAS team 11 months ago and always approaches her work with a deep respect for the families she supports.
"I value the opportunity to connect with …people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, listen to their stories, and learn from their lived experiences," she shares.
For Rita, the best part of her job happens in those moments, seeing families achieve something meaningful no matter how big or small. She's passionate about helping people navigate systems with more ease, using empathy and the right resources to make challenging times a little less overwhelming.
When she's not advocating for families, you might find Rita on a volleyball court, exploring hiking trails, dancing, enjoying some well-deserved spa time, or simply spending quality moments with the people who matter most to her.
We're so grateful for your dedication and the heart you bring to this work every day, Rita 💚

Today is International Day of Pink, when we wear pink to stand against bullying and discrimination targeting 2SLGBTQ+ children and youth.
This day started when two high school students in Nova Scotia saw a classmate being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Instead of looking away, they got …everyone at school to wear pink in solidarity the next day.
Small acts of standing up for each other can make a real difference in how safe young people feel at school and in their communities.
Join us in wearing pink today and show that kindness matters!

On World Health Day, we're thinking about what health really means for families.
It's checkups and care, but it's also safe homes, nourishing food, and feeling supported when times get tough. Health happens when families have the support they need.
