Clinical Tools and Techniques for Grief Therapy with Adult Clients

This talk reviews the features and diagnosis of depression and summarizes common treatments including medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle strategies.

Dr. Vanessa Aversa is a third-year psychiatry resident at the University of Toronto, based at Sunnybrook Hospital. She has enjoyed working in collaboration with Hope + Me - Mood Disorders Association of Ontario over the past year.

In the early stages of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Ontario government put a number of measures in place to prevent the spread of the virus, which included closing schools and encouraging physical distancing. The impact of these measures on the mental health of those in adolescence, a critical developmental stage, was worrisome yet unknown.

For this reason, researchers at Western University set out to explore teens’ stress related to COVID-19 and its relationship to their daily behaviours and other indicators of psychological distress.

Workshop Description

I wanted to let you know about this EENet Research Snapshot related to drinking and COVID-19.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant social changes that have never been seen before. These changes have included physical distancing, stay-at-home measures and closing schools to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus, as well as high unemployment and numerous deaths.

Depression is the most common mental illness in older adults. Social isolation and infection prevention measures to contain the COVID pandemic have disproportionately impacted older adults, putting them at even higher risk of depression. 

Telemedicine increases access to care in the setting of a pandemic and may improve clinical outcomes for society’s most vulnerable members. 

Living Life to the Full is a Canadian Mental Health Association program that will help you understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and what to do about them.  It is a fun and interactive course that will not only equip you with skills but will truly change how you see your life!

It will be offered virtually from September 14 to November 9, every Mondays from 1-1:30pm, for 8 consecutive weeks excluding holidays.

Good morning,

I am looking for best practices and/or processes cities and/or communities have used to identify locations for supervised consumptions services (SCS)? We have identified a general location through our needs assessment and feasibility study, but are looking at lessons learned or other processes others have used to support the identification of specific locations in their communities.

Thank you,

Stephanie Bale
