This week’s solution news:

Arielle and Karissa are excited to be sharing solutions again after a three-week break. Today, they focus on health-care-facing solutions! Arielle starts off by discussing the North East Ambulance Service’s new British Sign Language initiative that makes emergency care more inclusive and equitable. Then Karissa dives into a new federal effort in Canada that hopes to reduce period poverty in the country’s northern and remote Indigenous communities.
