CCSHM is developing Canadian guidelines for health and social service providers to support them in their roles with respect to the prevention, assessment, and management of social isolation and loneliness. Two national surveys have been carried out, to learn more about the lived experience and perspectives of health and social service providers as well as older adults.

• M1: A Trauma Informed Approach to Build Resilience and Sustainability – Rami Shami; Rami Shami Consulting: Utilizing a Trauma Informed Approach to Safeguard Our Wellbeing and Garner Resilience. Mere cognitive understanding of such afflictions as ‘vicarious trauma’ and ‘compassion fatigue’ is insufficient to safeguard us from the burden, if not the harm, our work can cause us. In most instances professional culture has created little space for personal becoming. In this session we will learn how to utilize a Trauma Informed Approach to delve into vital aspects of creating ‘resiliency in the field’, while serving in all domains of Seniors Programming.
• M2: Creating Inclusive Communities: The Age-Friendly Community Movement – Emily Mullins; Centre for Studies in Aging and Health at Providence Care: This presentation will provide an overview of the age-friendly movement in Ontario, explore how communities are becoming more age-friendly, describe supports available to enable this work, and recommend ways in which older adult centres can support local age-friendly initiatives.
• M3: Eldertrekking: A Stepping Stone in Motion – Kayla Menkhorst – Executive Director; Eganville and District Seniors: This workshop will go over the extremely successful “Eldertrekking” program that was offered in a small, rural community and how it transformed the SALC as a whole. This outdoor adventure program is about bringing all ages and abilities together to try new outdoor activities, grow into a sustainable “adventure” group and brings a whole new demographic of seniors to programs. It can be tailored to all locations, all budgets, and all abilities and as it grows, becoming fully sustainable by the community!

Ces nouvelles attentes offrent un défi particulier au conseil d’administration. Terminer avec un échange avec les participants pa r la mise en commun des différents types d’activités à offrir aux membres 
• M5: Unleashing Creativity in Senior Recreation: Artificial Intelligence Tools for Everyday Success- Chris Bint, Chief Learning Officer; Tech Coaches: Join us for an eye-opening live event about AI large language model tools, including technologies like Chat GPT and Microsoft Bing, and how they can revolutionize the way you work.

11:45 am – 12:45 pm: Breakout B – Workshops (5 Options). Please choose one (1) workshop for this time.

• M6: Developing Innovative Digital Solutions for an Ageing Population – Noor Din – Founder/ CEO; Human Endeavour & Dr. Lois Kamenitz PhD External Research Associate, York Centre for Asian Research, York University: Digital technologies rose to prominence during COVID-19 to ensure seniors remain engaged, informed, and healthy from the safety of their homes. However, this surge highlighted how digital designs and structural inequities restrict digital access and use. Recognizing the need, Human Endeavour initiated the Technology, Access, and Support for Seniors (TASS) project. This innovative and multi-sectoral approach developed simplified technology for seniors and built the capacity of the senior-serving sector. We will share a technology roadmap of digital transformation to facilitate aging in place.
• M7: Older Adult Exercise: The Power of Belief – Beth Yarzab; Canfitpro and Jason Jones; GoodLife: Older adults may be reluctant about fitness due to their perceived lack of ability or fear of failure. A key tool to overcoming exercise inertia is belief. As fitness programmers and practitioners, we can harness this tool by believing in our participants more than they believe in themselves. Our confidence will build our participant’s confidence! Then we close that belief “gap” by providing evidence of what our participants ARE capable of, one progression at a time. In this session, you’ll learn a programming and coaching framework to enhance your participant’s self-efficacy and overall fitness experience. We’ll share techniques including autoregulation, language choice, motivational interviewing, and recognition that will set your participants up for success and keep them committed to physical activity.
• M8: A Legacy in Leadership – How to intentionally Live & Lead Your Legacy – Jennie Queen; Jennie Queen Coaching: Your leadership legacy is the impact, impression and influence you have on others over your time in the workplace, industry, or role. It is formed by the guiding principles you apply most consistently to your decisions and actions. If you wouldn’t want to work for you, why should anyone else. The key question is would I work with me? Discover a heart centered, people centric leadership model that is authentic, practical, and effective in holistically leading holistically. It starts with YOU. It’s about bringing your heart, soul, and head, your passions, and your promise to your career.
• M9: Reinventing Senior Living and Care – Vipan Nikore – Co-Founder & CEO; Homecare Hub, Nancy Hawdon; Geriatric Social Worker and Care Coordinator, RSW, Amy Abbott; Registered Nurse and Community Care Coordinator, RN BScN: Homecare Hub is a healthcare company that enables people to age safely in their communities by creating high quality care homes. Our solution is an alternative to nursing homes which are expensive to build/operate. It offers a desirable option for older adults who do not wish to live in nursing homes but are unable to afford care in their own homes. Our homes are lower cost than traditional care options, which saves payers/health system a tremendous amount. We create partnership to make these care homes which helps relieve capacity issues and provides alternative options for our aging population.

• M17: Seniors’ Centre Without Walls: A new age of older adult programming in a post-pandemic world – Meghan Cornett; Seniors’ Centre Without Walls – French Program Coordinator at The Good Companions: Come prepared to learn more about the many possibilities of phone programming for isolated seniors, and share successes and challenges with peers as we consider the role of these types of offerings post-pandemic. The pandemic has put a much-needed spotlight on the devastating effects of social isolation. For the first time, many of us experienced the negative impact being cut off from family, friends, and communities had on our health and well-being. Now, as life slowly returns to normal for many of us, the spotlight on social isolation is fading and our most vulnerable seniors are being left behind. Many older adults in our communities are unable to access in-person or online programs. Some are reluctant to meet face-to-face for health reasons. Others can’t because of physical or mental health issues, financial constraints, or other barriers. Seniors’ Centre Without Walls (SCWW) eliminates these barriers by offering free, telephone-based programs that make it safe and easy for seniors to participate in group activities, meet new people, and make meaningful connections – all from the comfort of home. Be ready to get inspired by fellow organizations running their own phone programs, as well as time to network with peers. You do not need to already have an established phone-based program in order to benefit from this interactive networking session.
