September is International Pain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to improving our understanding of people who live with chronic pain, advocating for better pain management resources, and creating more compassionate spaces. Canuck Place recognizes that each child and family is unique. Our multidisciplinary team works together to ensure every family in our care receives the best possible pain management tailored to their specific needs. #CanuckPlace #PainAwarenessMonth #PainManagement

Last, but certainly not least in our Canuck Place Research Institute Summer Student feature, we’d like to share the special story of our final summer student and Canuck Place volunteer, Delbert Yip! We asked Delbert a few questions on how his experience being a Peer Volunteer helped inform his decision to apply as a CPRI summer student. This summer, Delbert has dedicated his time with the CPRI, on exploring the role of inflammation in postoperative functional decline in children with severe neurological impairment. This work aims to identify biomarkers that can be potentially used to predict post-operative outcomes among children with severe neurological impairments which is a central theme of one of the CPRI’s core projects: the Post-Operative Decline in Children with Severe Neurological Impairment. #Research #Innovation #ClinicalResearch #PediatricResearch #Future #VolunteerAppreciation
