Happy Thursday Public Health Superheroes!
As our Founder pointed out in this week's podcast, it is important to invest in professional relationships. Although many of our encounters have shifted online now, what can we do to still foster meaningful relationships? Any tips or thoughts about remote relationships? Please feel free to share your thoughts with us at hello@phspot.ca.
With love,
