New publication! @lashewicz and I speak to the impact of dignity of identity for people with dementia in residential care settings. This piece feels very special to me and played a huge role in informing my practice working in assisted living. Take a read!

Do you work in long-term care? A team of researchers led by @DrKateTO, Schlegel Innovation Leader in Arts and Aging, has launched a new survey that will explore the experiences of those working and training in long-term care.

The team is particularly interested in learning more about what strategies may help support the mental health and well-being of learners and staff. Respondents are eligible to be entered into a draw for 1 of 320 $20 virtual Amazon gift cards.

It’s happening! #Toronto mayor @oliviachow joins @hrw & @gersteincrisis in releasing our case study for community-based mental health crisis response that does not resort to policing & forced treatment.

The mayor called the report “magnificent”: https://t.co/EZ2O787S9F

A few days left to register for the AFE ECHO program, beginning on Oct 4 with a lecture from Dr. Thiago Herick de Sa of @WHO

Participants will interact with age-friendly experts and learn how to engage older adults in age-friendly planning, contributing to the @UNDecadeAgeing

[The IFA @IFAgeing]

The AFE ECHO Mentorship Program is a ground-breaking initiative that creates the opportunity for emerging age-friendly leaders to gain the knowledge necessary to drive the age-friendly model within their own cities and communities!

Such a fantastic opportunity to present @CaRERLab research on moral distress today at @SchlegelUW_RIA.

Many critical findings shared by colleagues which must be used to make #LTC a safe place for all.

[Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging @Aging_Institute]

Great discussions at the Moral Injury Think Tank today! Experts from @OSIResearch, @OLTCAnews, @HRIMentalHealth and more came together to tackle moral injury and moral distress experienced by those who work in #LongTermCare.

[CaRER Lab @CaRERLab]

What do long-term workers recommend we do to improve worker mental health and be better prepared in future pandemic responses? Lab members Nick Boettcher, Sofia Celis, and @lashewicz share findings from interviews with 50 workers in Canada:

#FriendshipDay reminds us that social connections are 🔑 for well-being.

We're rediscovering the joys of connecting in-person. But such opportunities don't always help us feel less lonely. Why?

When do in-person interventions reduce social isolation & loneliness?

The CaRER Lab @UCalgary has joined the Twitterverse in time for International Nursing Week. Throughout 2021 I had the honour of interviewing #LTC workers about their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. With @CaRERLab we created a short animation to highlight their voices:
