A Fine Balance - A Workshop for Women in the Healthcare Professions

Queens Landing, Niagara-on-the-Lake
The content of the workshop is relevant to anyone who feels their social, physical, emotional and/or relationship needs are compromised by the demands that are placed on them in terms of their work. This may be due to self-created or external expectations. The results are the same: a sense of being out of balance and depleted.

Fifth National Biennial Conference on Adolescents and Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder It’s a Matter of Justice!

Vancouver, BC
This conference will provide a forum to share research, experience and practice in order to discuss how we can effectively sustain and enhance the lives of adolescents and adults with FASD, their families, service providers, and communities. Are we adequately addressing and supporting the needs and rights of adolescents and adults with FASD within our society? Do individuals with FASD have timely and appropriate access to health care, housing, social services, legal and civil justice and employment? How can we build on the strengths of existing systems to identify and address barriers and move forward to provide effective ethical support? How do we provide focused and targeted approaches across services, and systems to create an integrated and collaborative approach to supporting individuals with FASD? These are the essential elements for social justice and we are just starting to explore and understand what will be required to put these into action.
