Make a Difference in Child Healthcare

Each year in British Columbia, 140 children are diagnosed with cancer.

For the Canada Youth Visual Art Contest’s (CYVAC) 2nd iteration, we are pleased to partner with the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation (BCCHF), the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to the care of children. They provide care for the most seriously ill or injured children from across British Columbia. Their mission is to create an impact through caring, leading, and learning together.

BC Children’s Talks Suicide Prevention: Take a Minute, Reach Out, Change a Life

The immense load of stress, anxiety and fear lay heavy on many teenagers’ shoulders. Which is why death by suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst youth. In conversation with Dr. Tyler Black, a psychiatrist at BC Children’s Hospital and a specialist in suicide, he emphasizes the significance of extending a hand to someone who may need help.

While holding conversations about suicide with other people might be difficult, the outcome might actually morph into positive encouragement. Dr. Black also shares that, “Many focus on the distress side of suicide, and forget it’s the stress and concerns that usually prompt someone to head in that direction.” Plus, there are countless resources to turn to, thanks to heightened awareness through social media. People like trusted teachers, school counselors, the crisis line and health professionals are all here to help, and that, expressing concern to a trusted adult is always the first step towards help.

压力、焦虑以及恐惧所带来的巨大负荷时常会压在许多青少年的肩膀上。这也是促使自杀率成为青少年死亡的第二大原因。在与泰勒-布莱克博士谈话中，她是一位不列颠哥伦比亚省儿童医院的精神病学家和自杀问题专家，她多次强调向可能需要帮助的人伸出援手的意义与影响往往比我们想象中要大。

尽管与他人讨论有关自杀话题是困难的，但是实际上，这一个小举动是会产生对他人十分积极的鼓励与影响。布莱克博士分享道：“许多人把注意力专注于自杀的方面之上，而常常忽略掉是压力和担忧促使一个人拥有自杀念头。”此外，由于通过社交媒体提高了认识，有数不清的资源可以求助。我们周围一直都存在值得信赖的老师、学校辅导员、危机热线以及健康专家来为自己或者他人提供帮助，然而向值得信赖之人吐露心声永远是获取帮助的第一步。
