Also canvassed will be cultural competence and issues around listening skills, humility, open-mindedness and respect.

In working with clients with serious and persistent mental illness, access to primary care as an integrated approach to their mental health care is both evidence based and an integral part of comprehensive holistic treatment.  In this presentation we will be reviewing the efficacy of having a nurse practitioner as a member of available ACTT services.  A review of the literature regarding the integration of primary care within the act model as well as implications for use within both urban and rural settings will be explored.  In addition, we will review a nurse practitioners fellowship and the impact on chronic disease management, especially cardiovascular risk factors and preventative care as well as the impact on addressing non emergent but acute physical health issues

how do I register for the 1st presentation?

The virtual conference is over four months, and there is no access to standalone presentations. The registration and conference program is here: https://www.ontarioactassociat...ne-30-2021-via-zoom/ but we are half way through.

I think I made a mistake by reposting the weekly conference updates in eenetconnect.  It was ok, when we were initially launching and seeking registration, not useful now, so I will stop doing so.
