SUMMARY:Talking About Advance Care Planning with clients & thinking about it for ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by BC Association of Social Workers \nPresented by Cari Hoffman & Laura Gaspard Bainbridge   \nThis online live webinar examines the advance care planning process for working with clients and for ourselves. \nAbout the Webinar: \nPlanning ahead before you are sick is something all of us should do. Yet less than 50% of Canadians have talked with their family or friends\, and only 10% have spoken to their health care providers about their future goals and wishes for their health. Many people don’t know how to begin while others are unaware of how our values influence our health care decision making and that we can have a say in our care. Social Workers are especially skilled at engaging in advance care planning conversations due to the diversity of our areas of practice and notable communication skills. Join us in learning for yourself and your clients the concept of Advance Care Planning\, Substitute Decision Making for healthcare decisions\, and provide insight and resources to start and continue the Advance Care Planning process. \n  \nTo register please click here. Cost is $11.62 (+ fees) for BCASW Members and $27.54 (+fees) for general admission

SUMMARY:#GriefLiteracy: Join the movement!
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted by the Palliative Care and Nursing Ethics Hub of the Centre for Research on Health and Nursing in partnership with the Canadian Nurses Association. \nGrief literacy aims to improve how everyday citizens can understand grief and support one another in it. This concept is embedded in a public health commitment to understanding and addressing the loneliness and isolation caused by grief. The goal of grief literacy is to empower individuals\, networks and communities to support the bereaved among us with everyday acts of kindness and compassion. For greater grief literacy\, change needs to occur at all levels. While certainly some bereaved people need professional support\, for many a salient social response is community-based acknowledgment and validation. \nThis event will be led by two originators of the Grief Literacy concept. Professor Mary Ellen Macdonald will provide an overview of Grief Literacy\, its recent development by an international team of grief scholars\, and its relationship to public health palliative care. Professor Susan Cadell will operationalize the concept of Grief Literacy by providing vignettes that can be used for education and practice. In this talk\, the concept of Grief Literacy will also be connected to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be time reserved for open discussion with our two speakers. \nClick here to register and for more information.

SUMMARY:Exploring Trauma Informed Palliative Care for Populations Experiencing Structural Vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:Part two in Pallium Canada’s Trauma Informed Palliative Care series. \nPalliative care is not accessed by everyone equally in Canada. In fact\, income\, housing\, and race\, for example\, play a big role in who ultimately receives palliative care. This moderated panel webinar aims to explore the impact of structural vulnerabilities as it pertains to socioeconomic\, political\, and cultural hierarchies\, on access to care and the consequences of trauma in our communities. Panelists will explore their personal experiences in a variety of disciplines to detail how certain social determinants of health serve as barriers to care and how trauma informed care can be envisioned to derive health equity for populations experiencing vulnerability. \nClick here for more information and to register.  \n  \nHost and Moderator: Naheed Dosani MSC\, MD\, CCFP(PC)\, BSc \n  \nPanelists: Sasha Hill RN; Rami Shami BSc; Kelli I. Stajduhar RN\, PhD\, FCAHS; and Anna Voeuk MD\, CCFP(PC)\, MPH\, DTM&H \n  \nThe topic for this webinar has been developed in collaboration with the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians (CSPCP).

SUMMARY:The Leader’s Role: Forging New Paths for Racial and Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Center to Advance Palliative Care \nThe first six months of 2020 have presented unprecedented challenges to palliative care program leaders\, first with the COVID-19 pandemic\, and then with much-needed attention to racial injustice.

Panelists will discuss how to understand and identify organizational issues and constructs related racism. They will outline actions\, big or small\, that programs and individuals can take to dismantle racism and promote health equity\, and invite participants to contribute ideas to this timely discussion. \nPresented by: Betty Ferrell\, Michael Fratkin\, Tammy Kang\, Sherika Newman\, Donna W. Stevens\, Jeanne Sheils Twohig \nAvailable for CAPC Members. To login and register click here.
