\This webinar will describe a nurse mentoring program initiated by Dr Philippe Voyer at the Centre d'excellence sur le vieillissement de Québec. Three studies will be presented, which evaluated the effects of the mentoring program on non-pharmacological interventions for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) among seniors in long-term care.

A complementary study focusing on nurse-pharmacist collaboration in long-term care settings, and its results regarding the use of antipsychotics for BPSD will also be presented.

The Nicotine Dependence Service (NDS) at CAMH is excited to share our Vaping Cessation Guideline Resource! This resource was developed in response to the growing prevalence of e-cigarette use, in collaboration with a group of international experts and people with lived experience of e-cigarette use, with the goal of providing evidence-based guidance for healthcare providers to support adults and youth (ages 15-24) who want to quit vaping.

CAMH pharmacy residents will present an introduction to the various medications which may be used in mental health and addiction treatment. During this webinar, participants will become familiar with medication classes, their effects, and their places in therapy.
