Biography:

Jacynthe L’Heureux is a PhD Candidate in Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia. Her research explores how life transitions—such as reproductive loss, perinatal grief, parenthood, and family caregiving—intersect with employment, work productivity, and labour force participation. Using a health economics lens, she examines the impacts of these transitions on health, well-being, and employment outcomes among equity-deserving populations. Through this work, she aims to inform and advance more equitable and inclusive policies and practices across both workplace and health system settings.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
