Teachers in Hospitals Keep Kids Learning | Canada News
Description
In the heart of Halifax’s IWK Health Centre, seven full-time teachers are turning hospital rooms into classrooms, helping kids battling serious illnesses stay on track with their education. These educators—like Julia Countway, who rebuilds confidence in teens through mental health programs, and Alex Neuffer, who supports cancer patients and surgical recoveries—ensure learning doesn’t pause during treatment. By syncing with home schools and providing continuity, they ease anxieties, preserve academic progress, and help kids return to class stronger. Their work proves that education isn’t just about grades—it’s a lifeline for healing and resilience.
