Testimonials
This is an amazing tool! I downloaded every resource, every link. I especially appreciated exploring the platform. There was no pressure and it was easy to interact with the material. The platform also provided me with an opportunity to share my knowledge and my understanding with my organization. That resulted in an effort to identify language preferences and first languages.
Heather Gillespie, Director, Quality and Capacity ServiceCanadian Mental Health Association, Niagara
A huge thank you to eQUITY Link! We are currently developing our white book on health services in French. The information and key arguments that are directly integrated into the courses were very useful. It makes reviewing and adapting material easy. It was fun and it saved precious time.
Pierre Roisné, DirectorRéseau Santé, Nova Scotia
The additional resources integrated into the course were incredible. What I found truly beneficial was that there were quick gains for us. If someone spoke French, we would indicate it on their badge, but then, we thought "Wouldn’t it make sense to have other languages on the badges?" We were able to use the concepts and ideas to further better ourselves.
