Free Webinar!

Not sure if you should disclose your disability during your job search? This session will help you decide what is right for you.

Deciding if, when, and how to talk to an employer about your disability is an important part of your return-to-work plan. This session looks at your options and helps you understand what disclosure can look like at different stages of the job search and in the workplace.

You will learn how to approach these conversations with confidence, reduce uncertainty for employers, and explain your needs in a clear and practical way. The focus is on helping you make informed decisions that work for you.

🎙️ Coming this Wednesday: Upstream Voices Episode 1

We’re pleased to announce the launch of Upstream Voices, a new podcast from the Centre for Best Practices, an initiative from the Office of the New Brunswick Advocate. Upstream Voices creates space for meaningful, forward-looking conversations about children’s rights and the importance of listening to young people.

The mini-series features a guided conversation between New Brunswick Advocate Kelly Lamrock and Jazmyne McLaughlin, author of What I Wish I Knew: A Guide to Children’s Rights.

The prologue introduces What I Wish I Knew and the purpose behind the resource. Episode One explores the experiences that inspired Jazmyne to create the book and brings listeners into the conversation about children’s rights that shaped it.

Keep an eye out for Wednesday’s post, where we’ll share more about where you can listen to Upstream Voices!

Musings of an autist … No, Uta Firth, just no …the lived experience of millions trump professorship!

What was hidden was never absent, only unseen;
to finally see more is not the same as inventing more.
