Parentalité, grossesse, santé mentale et développement de l’enfant : démystifiez les idées fausses avec l’@avatraining-ca.bsky.social, membre de la Coalition pancanadienne pour la santé des femmes.
A person is standing in front of a display of informational posters at an event. The backdrop includes a banner for AVA Women's & Girls’ Health Hub. Text on the image encourages building knowledge of parenting, pregnancy, mental health, and child development misconceptions. Title: "What misinformation do you encounter most often?" Description: An infographic featuring text blocks. Top section: A burgundy speech bubble with white text discusses common misinformation issues, highlighting claims about health, particularly in parenting, mental health, and childhood development. It notes social media's role in amplifying unsupported opinions. Middle: A pink arrow pointing right. Bottom section: A green speech bubble with white text asks what research reveals, emphasizing that research rarely supports "one-size-fits-all" messages online, especially in women's and children's health, where multiple interconnected factors are influential. The background is turquoise. The image features two sections with text. The first section, with a maroon background, asks, "What misinformation do you encounter most often?" It states, "Research findings taken out of context or presented as definitive when the evidence is more nuanced." The second section has a teal background and asks, "What does the research actually tell us?" It answers, "Protective factors, relationships, resources, and supportive environments can all make a difference. It is important to look at the quality and context of the evidence rather than relying on a single study, headline, or social media post." An arrow points from the first section to the second. A graphic titled "How we address misinformation" from AVA Women’s & Girls’ Health Hub. The image contains text boxes explaining their focus on proactive communication of research findings and collaboration with community partners. The sections emphasize clear, plain-language summaries and dissemination through various channels, including webinars and digital platforms.

Various factors impact women’s and children’s health. Context, relationships, resources and supportive environments all matter.

@avatraining-ca.bsky.social's approach? Share evidence clearly, transparently and accessibly — while being honest about what the research can and can’t tell us.

Peace looks like safety, respect, choice, and equality.

🕊️La paix, c’est bien plus que l’absence de guerre. C’est créer des foyers et des communautés où chacun se sent en sécurité, respecté et à l’abri de la peur.

La paix, c’est la sécurité, le respect, la liberté de choix et l’égalité.
