In November 2020, Evidence Exchange Network (EENet) and Community Care information Management co-hosted a World Café-style event with more than 70 participants, focusing on the use of standardized tools.

Each participant took part in three facilitated, small-group, virtual breakout sessions focusing on their topic selections out of a total of nine topics. The breakout sessions allowed participants to learn from each other's experiences and hear more about how to use different tools to support client-centred care and quality improvement.

The Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP) is currently seeking submissions for presenters at our 2021 Virtual Conference. This year, our conference will be on the topic of the mental health implications of COVID19. We are looking for online conference sessions to help mental health practitioners understand what we have all gone through and what awaits us as we move into a post-COVID life.

Promising Practices in Accessing Virtual Mental Health: Supporting Refugees during COVID-19  is a national research project currently inviting refugee newcomers to participate in virtual interviews about their access to formal virtual support for emotional or social well-being.

Formal virtual support means support provided online or by phone by a professional or agency (for example, in support groups or individual sessions with social workers, physicians, counsellors, or other mental health professionals).

The Ontario College of Family Physicians is happy to introduce Practicing Well, a new resource to support family doctors in providing the best possible care for patients with their mental health disorders, substance use, and chronic pain.

Practicing Well has three components: 1) a Community of Practice, 2) Information Exchange, and 3) Peer-to-Peer Connect.

The Excellence through Quality Improvement Project (E-QIP) is hosting an amazing free virtual conference, QI Innovations: Understand-Pivot-Change, set for Tuesday, April 13.   I am going to attempt to do the keynote. LOL.

Keynote Presentation: Listen. REALLY Listen. (The Cornerstone of QI).

What is the impact on clients and service providers of the increase in virtual services and supports for substance use or concurrent disorders?

The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, in partnership with the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, the Canadian Psychological Association and Canada Health Infoway, is conducting key interviews to understand that impact.

We need your help.
