Episode Alert! LQ Podcast Replay

25/7/2019

0 Comments

 
We are taking a little break in-between episodes and thought that this is a great opportunity for those of you who missed our episode on the Power of Storytelling the first time around. Enjoy the sun while listening to last season's finale with some fantastic storytellers!

This past spring Chris chatted with three amazing Quebec storytellers: Johanne Pelletier, director, strategic initiatives, University Communication Services, Emma Lanza, administrator, Centre for Clinical Research in Health, and Taylor Tower, communications advisor, Faculty of Arts and Science.


In this episode we learn about the value of oral storytelling and some tips on how to craft an effective story from personal experiences to create a connection with an audience.  We discuss themes of mental health, coming of age and rituals. 
We will be back in a couple of weeks with a brand new episode for season two! 
In the show we mention the following:   
Literacy Quebec  http://www.literacyquebec.org/  
Confabulation  http://www.confabulation.ca/   
Quebec Writers Federation  https://qwf.org/  
​
Every two weeks our hosts  Jaimie Cudmore and Chris Shee from Literacy Quebec explore topics around community building, lifelong learning and literacy for English-speakers in Quebec. Want to help out with the podcast? Have a story you want to share? Contact us at

LQ Podcast Episode Alert! S2 E3 Health Literacy

11/7/2019

0 Comments

 
It’s already the third episode of season two our Podcast!  We discuss Health Literacy. Chris met our Literacy Lowdown guests during last month’s Health and Wellness Fair in Verdun. We talk to Riley from Collective Community Services, Kevin from the Anglo Family Council, and Meghan from YES Montreal about the services their organisations provide to improve health and wellness access for English-speakers in Quebec. We learn about the importance of community groups creating connections to provide better services and the connections between health and employment. 
​

Wendy Seys joins us once again to talk about the health literacy toolkit created by Yamaska Literacy Council with their partners. Wendy tells us how individuals and healthcare providers can become more health literate to help each other.

 In the show we mention the following:  
  • Collective Community Services (CCS)  http://ccs-montreal.org/ 
  • Anglo Family Council  https://www.facebook.com/anglofamilycouncil/ 
  • YES Montreal  https://www.yesmontreal.ca/

In Quebec, for non-emergency health situation or related question you can call 811 to Info-Santé. Quebec Nurses evaluate your health situation and give advice based on your condition. Calling Info-Santé 811 often helps avoid going to a medical clinic or emergency room.
