Presented by:
• Ole Kassow, Founder, Cycling Without Age; Purpose Makers, Denmark
1:30pm – 1:45pm KEYNOTE PRESENTATION MAIN STAGE - ADAM ROOM Metamorphosis: From 66 Years of Steel and Concrete To Retirement Caring
For My Fellow Human Beings
Presented by: • William F. Dawson, Volunteer, Bruyère Continuing Care
1:45pm – 2:00pm BREAK FOYER - GRAND BALLROOM
Cycling Without Age is about younger volunteers taking elderly people to a destination they agree upon together, using trishaw bikes. Ole’s vision is to
build inclusive and empathetic communities where a person’s age,
background or ability to move should not hinder their participation in social life. He aims to achieve this vision by reintegrating a conventionally
marginalized group, the elderly, into their communities by building
intergenerational bridges.
Upon graduation as a mechanical engineer, my future was permanently
deflected to the construction industry. After a lifetime for inventions, working in
countries around the world, creating numerous companies, receiving innovation awards and side careers as a teacher, adjunct professor and lecturer in various
Canadian universities, I finally retired at age 89. This is when I started volunteering at Bruyère. It was an experience that changed my life.

(45 minutes) Virtual Camino as a Transformative Pathway for Long-Term Care and Stroke
Rehabilitation Patients
Virtual pilgrimage (VP) is an innovative practice that provides an accessible, holistic pathway to human wellness and spiritual health. The pilgrimage motif

external strictures or physical impairment. For this presentation, VP refers
to the Camino, a pilgrimage route in Northern Spain.

(45 minutes) Getting the Most from Your Health Care Appointment (This session is open to all participants, pre-registration not required)
Presented by: • Sally Boyle, Program Lead, South West Self-Management Program
• Andrea Martin, Program Facilitator, South West Self-Management Program
• Darren Robbins, Program Facilitator, South West Self-Management Program
(30 minutes) Advance Care Planning: Starting Conversations (This session is open to all participants, pre-registration not required)
Presented by:
• Nicole Dunlop, Physician, Complex Continuing Care, Bruyère Continuing Care
• Roshene Lawson, Clinical Chaplain, Bruyère Continuing Care
Research shows that patients forget 50 per cent of the information shared
during a health care appointment. Factors that leads to this include stress, too much information provided too quickly, unfamiliar medical jargon and the
patient’s self-confidence level. The evidence is clear, patients who take a more active role in their health care are more satisfied, pursue timely and
appropriate treatment and have a better quality of life.
The presenters will discuss the importance of continuing education
and support in advance care planning discussions with patients and substitute decision makers. Through their work with restorative care
patients and educating community groups, they help break the stigma of talking about end of life issues and encourage people to have clear
discussions with their decision makers about meaning, values, beliefs
and the decisions they want made.
All bodies move toward age, illness and death. We will all, at some point, if not already, experience some form of pain. How do we deal with pain? Do we
pay more attention to one type over another? Do we ‘grin and bear it’? Do we deny it? Come and learn how a physiatrist recognizes the roles of
psychological and social factors in healing and recovery from painful
musculoskeletal injury; a psychiatrist who brings mindfulness to her practice as a way for clients to address stress and do self-care; and a Traditional
Chinese Medicine practitioner who works with the body’s energy (qi or chi) and homeostasis and modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine,
moxabustion, lifestyle, massage and nutrition when treating pain.

Lucie will inspire, motivate and teach individuals to use their inner power to get what they want in their life so they can choose the best path for them
and their family, heal and keep healthy, grow as a person and carry out
their life purpose.
Join me to discuss the spiritual dimension of people facing life-threatening illnesses, to explore how to engage with clients in ways that invite meaningful
reflection and strengthen spiritual practices and experiences, and to learn the specific tools designed for people of all faiths. Relevant research will also be
highlighted, including the neurophysiology of meditation and the health benefits
of religious practice, with a particular focus on prayer practices.
In 2015, newly retired from the health care sector, I joined Doctors
Without Borders (DWB), to fulfill a deep desire work abroad. Ever since then, I have been travelling the globe. The best part of my job is
meeting the amazing people working for DWB, who put their lives at
risk to provide care to others. Join me as I share some of my stories of
courage and gratitude.
Sharron will lead you through a delightful meditation where you will explore
and nurture your relationship with spirit

The Search for Kindness: My Personal Journey
Presented by:
• Brian Goldman, Host of CBC's top-rated White Coat, Black Art Master of ceremony:
• Margaret Lerhe, Retired Director of Learning and Development; Trainer, Doctors Without
Borders
Kindness and empathy are lacking in some parts of the health care system.
Dr. Goldman talks personally about stress, the need for speed and personal shame about human fallibility as factors that diminish empathy in health
care. Using his experiences as the son of ailing parents as a starting point, he searches for kindness inside and outside of health care, and tells inspiring
stories from around the world.

10:00am - 10:30am BREAK FOYER - GRAND BALLROOM
Compassion has long been identified as an invisible ingredient of healing that
is challenged within the pressures of contemporary health care. This plenary session will clarify the key components of compassion, delineate compassion
from other forms of caring and suggest future directions informed by research
and directly from the humans at the epicenter of compassionate care - patients
and health care providers.
Bruyère’s Therapeutic Support Services have established a service delivery model designed to build capacity through community support. Together,
health care professionals, volunteers and community partners work as a
team to build relationships with our patients, residents and families—
enhancing the “Bruyère experience”.

Moderated by:
• Deborah Sarre-McGregor, Executive Director, Bruyère Academic Family Health Team
What images come to mind when we think about our community? Strolling around and admiring our neighbours’ gardens, seeing children play, walking to
work or to nearby shops? Seniors in our communities are at risk of experiencing
isolation and loneliness, especially when their movements become more restricted due to age, illness or disability. How do we ensure access to the
outdoors does not change when circumstances force us to move to a retirement or long-term care home?
Cycling Without Age is an innovative program that helps seniors stay connected with their communities. It makes it possible for them, or those with mobility
challenges, to get back on bicycles and enjoy nature and their surroundings.
Cycling Without Age uses a special three-wheel rickshaw bike. These “trishaws” have a two-seater passenger carriage in the front and are propelled by a
specially trained volunteer pilot who sits on a bike at the back. The ride provides
an ideal setting for conversation, storytelling and reminiscing.
Dance is BEST is designed to encourage physical activity, provide challenges for the brain, expand enjoyment of the arts and build new connections—both
literally and figuratively—by connecting people. BEST describes the four
foundational elements of movement: Body, Energy, Space and Time.
Volunteers provide unique roles in health care, from addressing gaps in care
to enhancing the care provided by health care professionals, to providing care that is unencumbered by funding limitations. Learn to optimize the
power of volunteers to humanize health care for people around the globe by
examining the unique role of volunteers in facilitating and enhancing population health and by hearing about the work of four people providing
health care as volunteers.

10:30am – 12:00pm CONCURRENT SESSION A5 TUDOR ROOM
(60 minutes) A5.1: Spirituality in Nursing Education: A Necessary Ingredient in Providing
Holistic Care
Presented by:
• Ann Marie Urban, RN, RPN, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Regina
(30 minutes) A5.2: Defining, Integrating and Measuring Quality Spiritual Care
Presented by:
• George Handzo, Director, Health Services Research and Quality, HealthCare Chaplaincy Network
Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation (CLRI) in Long-
Term Care (LTC), hosted by Baycrest, Bruyère and Schlegel, support the LTC
sector to enhance quality of care through education, research, innovation, evidence-based delivery, knowledge transfer and collaboration. The CLRIs
offer a platform to identify, advance, disseminate and spread evidence-based
leading practices and unique learning and capacity building services.
Through this presentation, I will be sharing my experience in facilitating a
second-year elective course during which students explored spirituality, spiritual
care and their spiritual selves, and to advocate for nursing education programs
to incorporate a mandatory course on spiritual care.
We will be defining and discussing the best practice quality indicators for
spiritual care in health care, identifying possible metrics and measures to
assess for each quality indicator, and engaging a process for moving quality spiritual care integration and measurement forward in your own institution.
Both professional and personal caregivers have a lot on their minds. Staying connected in conversations (particularly challenging ones) can be difficult. Improv
skills help individuals react faster, trust their instincts and look for what is
possible, rather than getting bogged down in what isn't. This energetic, interactive workshop will give participants some extra tools to use in
communicating with those they care for, as well as colleagues, friends and family.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2017 (CONFERENCE DAY 1)
10:30am – 12:00pm CONCURRENT SESSION A6 MACDONALD ROOM
(60 minutes) A6.1: Be Kind. Make a Difference
Presented by:
• Rabbi Reuven P. Bulka, C.M., Founder and CEO, Kind Canada
(30 minutes) A6.2: How our State and Stage of Consciousness Influences the Quality, Effectiveness
and Joy we take in our Work: Insights from Spiritual/Secular Awakening Research
Presented by:
• Kelly Kilrea, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Counselling, Psychotherapy and
Spirituality, Saint Paul University Ottawa
“Science has established that there are at least five measurable side effects of
kindness,” according to Dr. David Hamilton. Kind Canada believes that kindness resides in all of us and our goal is to inspire and encourage
Canadians to be kind. This session will focus on the science of kindness and
the benefits of being kind for workplaces, schools and communities, and the
difference it makes.
What does it mean to be fully human? What does it feel like to be ‘awakened’
and how does it change how we live, work and serve others? By recognizing the effect of specific states and stages of consciousness on our own
experience and on those around us, we have the potential to dramatically impact both, the quality, effectiveness and joy we take in our work. In this
presentation we will also discuss how to intentionally embody a state of
wakefulness and develop specific skills and practices that may lead to more advanced stages of consciousness. In transforming ourselves, we transform
the leadership we offer, the lives we touch and the care we provide.

Presented by:
• Jo-Ann Tait, MScN, BHSc (PN), RPN, Program Director, Elder Care and Palliative Services, Providence Health Care; Adjunct Professor, School of Nursing, University of British
Columbia
• Kimberley Smith, RPN, BHSc, Site Leader and Care Manager, Youville Residence and Parkview Older Adult Tertiary Mental Health Intensive Support Program

(20 minutes) A7.3: Five Key Opportunities for Health Care Leaders to Support Person and Family-Centred Care
Presented by:
• Danielle Bender, Senior Research Associate, Saint Elizabeth Health Care
(20 minutes) A7.4: Daughters in the Workplace: The Forgotten Caregiver
Presented by:
• Jackie Froendt, PHR, SHRM-CP, CEBS, Director of Human Resources, Home Instead Inc.
Join us as we describe the use of human-centred design to understand the experience of residents, families and staff in residential care and to co-create a
new vision for residential care. We will also describe the experience of our high
intensity culture transformation to implement the new vision focused on
emotional connection, resident direction and creating a feeling of home.
Vector Theory is a new generic quantitative model developed to increase efficiency and performance in all levels of management from operational to
strategic. It has been applied in defense and education sectors and proved to contribute significant and immediate improvements. Although the proposed
model is based on a considerable experience and comprehensive academic
research, it is intentionally kept simple to make it usable in real business life.
The benefits of person and family-centred care (PFCC) are well documented
and finding ways to implement it is front of mind for many health care
organizations. To address the need for implementation guidance, Saint Elizabeth offered PFCC education workshops to over 2,000 health care leaders,
providers, and support staff across Canada.
This session will help you understand the challenges facing those caring for senior parents as well as what policies and benefits you can implement to
improve your employees’ performance and reduce attrition.

Presented by:
• Amy Hsu, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
Learn about the journey as our multifunctional team co-designed and partnered
with patients and families to ensure a smooth and safe transition from our
hospital to home.
An innovative nurse-run chronic pain program is possible in primary care if the right tools and setup are provided. The authors believe this example of a
collaborative model is where primary care management of chronic pain needs
to move in the next decade.
A collaborative approach to health care that supports self-management is
needed to enhance functioning and quality of life for persons living with Parkinson's disease. We sought to identify: strategies being used to provide
collaborative care and support self-management as well as approaches that
may lead to improvements in these aspects of care.
Older adults in the community who are frail may receive fragmented and inappropriate care due to poor prognostication, especially when they are
nearing the end of life. This study presents a mortality risk tool, and explores its acceptability and usefulness to community-dwelling older adults
and their caregivers.

• Reepa Evic-Carleton, Support Coordinator, Family Well-Being Program, Ottawa Inuit Children's Centre
• Sol Mamakwa, Health Advisor, Nishnawbe Aski Nation
This presentation explores the important role that speech pathologists play in
palliative end of life care.
Many health care providers and the food service industry have agreed to implement new standards for dysphagia (swallowing disorder) diets in
2017/18. IDDSI standards will promote increased patient safety by making diet
textures consistent and measurable. We will show how this approach can
benefit patients in a complex continuing care setting.
This presentation will discuss common conflicts between patients, families and
health care providers, when managing severe, complex and deteriorating dysphagia (swallowing disorder). It will show how using a relationship-centred
model of care can help to develop care plans in situations where patients want
interventions that seem contradictory and competing.

• Samira Belaid Cultural Interpreter at Bruyère Family Medical Center
Supervised injection services (or safe injection sites) are critical health services
for people who inject drugs that are also often met with opposition from local politicians, police and the general public. This session will explore Ottawa’s
journey toward supervised injections from the perspective of a person using the
service, a staff involved in the operation and the organization leading the effort.
When someone loses their ability to communicate with health care providers,
family and friends, and then regains that ability, it’s like being born again according to patients at Bruyère Continuing Care’s Saint-Vincent Hospital. Join us
as our accredited augmentative and alternative communication clinic interdisciplinary team members demonstrate how we have had great success in
developing creative solutions with the help of various health professionals and
highly skilled volunteers.
There are many barriers to accessing timely, patient-centred comprehensive primary care for newcomers. Learning about the barriers and approaches to
bridge those barriers is essential to better serving future patients arriving as refugees. This workshop will use a case based approach to highlight the
organizational challenges, collaborative efforts and innovations that emerged,
including best practices in serving a vulnerable population.

(30 minutes) B5.2: The Integral Role of Music and the Music Therapist in Dementia Care
Presented by:
• Laurel Young, PhD; MTA, Associate Professor of Music Therapy, Concordia University;
Associate Director, engAGE: Concordia Centre for Research on Aging
In 2013, the South West Self-Management Program researched, developed and
implemented the “Getting the Most from your Health Care Appointment ©” workshop. The need to prepare and empower individuals to communicate more
effectively with their health care providers is crucial. Ultimately, patients are the most important members of their health care team and this workshop aims to
assist them in recognizing this. Come hear how the development team created
this program and its’ successful rollout across the province of Ontario in 2016.
Through her experience as a caregiver and a caregiver support group facilitator, Gaétane will aim to sensitize participants to the importance of the role of
caregivers in the well-being of patients. She hopes to demonstrate through experience that care givers can be main allies to improve and when possible
sustain the patient’s well-being. She will address how best develop an efficient partnership with care givers and how to include them in each step of the
patient’s journey.
The goal is to share examples of best practice regarding the contribution of the
arts to enhancing the quality of life, dignity and aesthetic environment of hospitals. It will aim to inspire listeners to review where creativity and beauty are
present or might be introduced, to improve their own health services and will argue that the arts are often neglected in hospitals and are an essential
expression of our humanity and individuality.
I will clarify why music is important for persons living with dementia, identify
assumptions/misperceptions about the use of music in dementia care and discuss rationale underlying the need for a sustainable best practices model and
professional leadership in the area of music care for persons living with
dementia.

Presented by:
• Carol Ring, Founder and CEO, The Culture Connection
The 36-year-old has worked in the remote Wapekeka First Nation for 10 years,
and believes he has a duty to push for better health care from Ottawa.
Bruyère Continuing Care is a catholic health care organization whose history rests
upon the vision, compassion and dedication of the Sisters of Charity. In 1845, Sister
Élisabeth Bruyère and three other nuns began a mission of love, service and compassion which still continues to this day at Bruyère. Over the years, the nuns
have transitioned from administrators and health care providers to committed volunteers. It is important to highlight and honour their personal histories through
text and images. By sharing their lives, others will be inspired to continue their legacy
of building compassionate communities.
As a Catholic health care provider, it’s a challenge to keep our vision, mission and values
top of mind. Explore why a one-size approach does not fit all, why our busy staff should care about our legacy, how to engage multicultural staff with our history, the magic of
including residents in our celebrations, why we’ve chosen to stay separate from spiritual
health—and why that all works for us.
Changing demographics, evolving technologies, more demanding patients and limited
financial resources are causing health care providers to rethink their delivery models. Creating an efficient patient-centric model requires coordination, collaboration and
integration. In this interactive workshop, participants will experience, reflect, discuss and apply the various concepts introduced. It’s time to humanize health care, not
only for our patients but for our providers as well.

Presented by:
• Kirby Kranabetter, Director of Mission, Ethics and Client Relations at Bruyère continuing care
In this presentation Kirby portrays his struggle and search for new meaning and life following a devastating diving accident which left him a quadriplegic at the
age of 23. His journey and the lessons learned first as a patient and then as a
hospital chaplain, provide insights into the healing process and what constitutes
good holistic care.
Based on the nursing sciences’ humanist philosophy, the objective of this qualitative study was to describe and understand the experiential significance
of a quality of work life and the lack thereof, for nursing executives working in a Quebec academic hospital setting.
Presentation will be delivered in French
Person-centred care is fundamental to promoting the quality of life of people living in long-term care and their caregivers. The objective of this pilot project
was to develop and implement a volunteer program where residents received personalized visits from student volunteers in their language of choice.
Presentation will be delivered in French
This education series is comprised of 10 e-learning modules that long-term
care learners must complete annually. The goal is to increase care quality and to ensure continuity of care for residents and their families. The two
newest e-learning modules, which will be presented during the facilitated networking, were put in place to assist staff with residents diagnosed with
dementia and as a refresher on the good documentation principles.

Canada is facing a shift in demographics that will impact health care and
hospice/palliative care service delivery. Knowledge sharing from global
neighbours, challenging existing biases and engaging community perspectives will support the transformation of health care. Exceptional
dying for all Canadians through community capacity building is a vision
that supports thriving through a tsunami.
A recent survey of LGBT individuals (by the Ottawa Hospital) indicated that
one-in-five do not reveal their sexual identity to their healthcare providers for fear of being stigmatized. This could have serious consequences. Join us
for a look at why LGBT patients are not always forthcoming and how you
can help create more accessible services and facilities.

A key objective in designing safe and supportive health care environments for
older adults involves addressing a variety of considerations such as reducing the risk of falls and improving mobility, infection prevention and control,
cognitive decline and support for cognitive stimulation or cuing, to name just a few. To do this work well requires analyzing human factor considerations in the
design of products, environments and systems.

Presented by:
• Aviva Hofmann Shaw, Program Lead, Canadian Institute for Health Information
• Jacqueline Singer, Senior Analyst, Canadian Institute for Health Information
• Helen Wei-Randall, Program Lead, Canadian Institute for Health Information
Shepherds of Good Hope is an innovative provider of specialized shelter, transitional housing and support services, serving adults who typically have
complex, intersecting mental health concerns, addictions, trauma and face multiple barriers to accessing mainstream services in Ottawa. The Managed
Alcohol Program started in 2001, with 10 beds for chronic alcohol users engaged in extremely risky drinking behaviours. Today the shelter-based
program has 24 beds and a 55-bed supportive housing program.
The Canadian Institute for Health Information recognizes that every piece of health
data is connected to a person—a care consumer and/or a care provider. This data may be used for input, but also for output, to support care planning, help assess
patients/residents and examine experiences. This panel will demonstrate the
difference data can make to people on both sides of the care equation.
Bruyère welcomes the diversity of human giftedness offered by our volunteers, who play
a significant and essential role in the continuity of care. We have established a service delivery model designed to build capacity through intentional collaboration between
health care professionals, community partners and volunteers. The enhanced role of the volunteer within our organization has not only had a significant impact on the well-being
of our patients and residents, but also for the volunteers themselves, who feel more
engaged and supported in their mission to make a difference in the lives of others.

Presented by:
• Lorna Lemay, Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution and Community
Mediation Ottawa
• Iman Ibrahim, Executive Director, Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution
The vast majority of support required by people with dementia is provided by their family. Early research into the impact of dementia took a unidirectional
approach and focused on the experiences of the patient or their family
caregiver in relative isolation, primarily emphasizing burden and stress. The presentation will draw on this research to highlight ways in which services can
best support patients and caregivers over time.
Recognizing that choosing treatment options is often an area of conflict
and contention, this workshop will introduce patients, residents, health
care partners, families and caregivers to a simple approach for working through these challenges. We will outline the basics for acting as a
neutral third party, using an effective neutral process, exploring the needs of the parties and supporting parties as they determine the best
way forward.
Guided by feminist epistemology, relational cultural theory and
narrative methods, this study explores how families, specifically mothers and daughters, individually, relationally and inter-subjectively
experience end of life.

• Roshene Lawson, Clinical Chaplain, Bruyère Continuing Care
Distressing to patients, families and health care providers, delirium is common in palliative care settings, occurring in up to 88 per cent of end of life patients. A
volunteer program was developed to address easily implemented nonpharmacological
strategies to prevent and manage delirium: sleep-wake cycle preservation, orientation and hydration. It is a simple yet accessible initiative that can easily be
transposed to other care settings.
Learn about the use of singing and voice work in bereavement contexts and
understand the practical and theoretical rationale underlying this research. The purpose of the study is to better understand how singing and voice work is
experienced by adults who participate in a bereavement support group. Learn
about the research project and its potential implications.
Taking care of people with dementia, Della realized how important personalized
care can be in maintaining their dignity, happiness and comfort. Her workbook,
Morning Glory Memory Keeper, is an invaluable tool to help care staff when
communication with their patients is difficult or impossible. She will go into
detail in describing the scope of information it holds and how that information
can help caregivers give phenomenal personalized care.
A successful approach to providing quality care at end of life is patient
involvement. Learn about the creation of an app that enables care providers to communicate with patients with aphasia on advance care planning (ACP) issues,
ensuring patients receive care consistent with their wishes. This can also help
guide and reduce anxiety for families and medical staff—knowing they are
implementing a care plan chosen by the patient.

and successful scale across New Brunswick.
During this presentation, we will review the definitions of MAiD and palliative care. We will explore the emerging challenges this new
procedure has created. This will include non-abandonment and
supporting everyone involved. We will discuss some of the reasons why most palliative care professionals have recommended keeping the
two distinct and some of the challenges this brings.

D7: Viktor Frankl, Spirituality and Palliative Care
Presented by:
• Edward Marshall, PhD, RP, is Registered Psychotherapist and Faculty Member of the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy
It is widely recognized that best-practice palliative care includes
addressing the spiritual needs of people nearing end of life. The responsibility to provide it often falls to frontline staff, sometimes
supported by spiritual care professionals, sometimes not. As health
care organizations become increasingly secular, they are less prepared or able to support end of life spiritual care. We want to identify
organizational-level promising practices that more fully support
spiritual care professionals and bedside health care providers.
We created a comprehensive grief and bereavement training program to strengthen volunteers' skills and capacity to work with patients and
their families' anticipatory grief, loss and bereavement. Designing and building a program which utilizes a ‘train-the-trainer’ model offers a way
to build capacity, while utilizing a cost-effective strategy that, with the
right supports, offers patients, families and volunteers a way to ensure
that appropriate supports are available across the continuum of care.
Viktor Frankl, MD, PhD, (1905-1997) was a psychiatrist, holocaust survivor
and author of the book “Man’s Search for Meaning.” He founded the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy which is also known as Logotherapy and
Existential Analysis. This therapeutic approach has been applied and
validated as Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy in the Cancer Setting and
Palliative Care.
The workshop will present the three pillars of Logotherapy: 1. Freedom of
Will (Anthropology); 2. Will to Meaning (Psychotherapy); 3. Meaning in Life (Philosophy). It will highlight the three avenues to finding meaning though
creative, experiential and attitudinal values.
Results of the Freedom of Will Survey will be detailed with the introduction
of the Principled Model of the Freedom of Will.
The relevance of the awareness of life’s finiteness, historical sources of
meaning, and legacy to finding meaning at the end of life will be
illustrated.

1:30pm – 3:00pm CONCURRENT SESSION D8 RENAISSANCE ROOM
(45 minutes) D8.1: The Road to Recovery: a healing journey based on a model of personal
reconciliation and education
Presented by:
• Thomas R. Louttit, Ohiskwabawis Community and Elder helper
(45 minutes) D8.2: Priorities for Person-Centred Care among Marginalized People Who Use
Drugs in Ottawa, Canada
Presented by:
• Lisa Boucher, Research Assistant, Bruyère Research Institute
• Alana Martin, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
Marginalized people who use drugs face many barriers to appropriate
care. Interventions are urgently needed to address the access and
equity issues affecting this disadvantaged population. Conducting
community-based participatory research among this population since
2012, we have conducted several studies to identify priorities and
barriers in care. Our studies emphasize the importance of incorporating
person-centred care models that integrate services specific to the
needs of people who use drugs.
Thomas R. Louttit, Community and Elder Helper, Traditional Sweat Lodge Keeper and Keeper of the Traditional pipe, will share his experiences within
the residential school system and his journey of reconciliation and healing.

4:00pm – 4:10pm CLOSING REMARKS MAIN STAGE - ADAM ROOM
Presented by:
• Tarniriik--Inuit Throat Singers
• Thomas R. Louttit, Ohiskwabawis Community and Elder helper
Improve the abilities of B.C. communities to be compassionate and resilient by
engaging and empowering community groups to take responsibility and ownership of the provision of practical, emotional and spiritual support for patients and
families affected by a serious or terminal illness in their communities.
If community members are willing to offer their valuable time to participate in
engagement activities, it is important to approach it in a thoughtful and well-planned manner. We developed a resource that identifies eight enablers of
meaningful community engagement, along with strategies and resources that can assist in achieving each one.
Population aging and the rise in the number of people living with long-term conditions
pose major challenges for health and social care systems globally. In the western world in particular, these systems are underpinned by values such as autonomy and
independence, and operate a person-centred model of care. Building on the principles of relationship-centred care, I will argue for an alternative approach based on notions
of reciprocity and interdependence.
Providence Health Care evaluated and redesigned their volunteer program to always
put the needs of the patients and residents first. The changes started with how we recruit, onboard and successfully retain volunteers. Participants will better understand
the important role of volunteers in health care, learn three easy additions to the volunteer program that will improve the patient experience, and learn training
techniques that will make volunteers more comfortable and able to comfort.
