National Multiple Births Awareness Day – May 28th
Even though it = is months away, there is a lot happening right now in preparation for National Multiple Births Awar= eness Day. A Communications Plan outlining the strategies and tactics MBC is planning = for this initiative is now posted in the Chapter Executive section of the MBC website. It describes how w= e plan to communicate the following theme for 2008: &qu= ot;Multiple Births Canada encourages all health care professionals providing fertility advice and/or treatments to fully disclose all risks associated with a multiple pregnancy and birth, including all negative and positive outcome= s, to enable patients to make informed decisions." = This theme has been slightly modified since it was first announced to reflect some of the input we received from our membership. Our goal is to target the health care profession stressing that they need to = fully educate their patients early in the process. = = This plan will help guide the= new Communications Committee as they deliver the NMBAD 2008 message in their local communities. Please n= ote: if your Chapter has not already designated a m= ember to join this committee, please do so asap and= email = communications@multiplebirths= canada.org to advise. This volunteer will liaise with the Director of Communications during the mont= h of May, creating a list of local media contacts in order to distribute the National Multiple Births Awareness Day 2008 media kit. For NMBAD to be a success, MBC n= eeds a strong Communications Committee... one that includes a member from every Chapter. = = One final reminder—National Multiple Births Awareness Day is also a celebrati= on, so please remember to plan a family Chapter event! A picnic, a = trip to the zoo, a scavenger hunt in the park; these are all great ways to connect and celebrate that we are supporting multiple births together! Email office@multiplebirthscanada.org with your event details so that they can be listed on the website along with all the othe= rs!
