Home care staff help caregivers access the support they need and navigate health and community systems. Enhanced respite care and supports for independent activities of daily living are available for caregivers at high risk of burnout and/or being unable to sustain caregiving.

The program team also delivered training and education to home care agencies, to decrease wait times to home care services and decrease length of stay for inpatients requiring home care services.",[1935],{"type":1484,"attrs":1936},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":1939,"content":1940},{"textAlign":811},[1941,1946],{"text":1942,"type":300,"marks":1943},"Learn more: ",[1944],{"type":1484,"attrs":1945},{"color":16},{"text":1947,"type":300,"marks":1948},"CHEO",[1949,1952],{"type":434,"attrs":1950},{"href":1951,"uuid":53,"anchor":53,"custom":53,"target":437,"linktype":438},"https://www.cheo.on.ca/",{"type":1484,"attrs":1953},{"color":16},{"type":12,"content":1955},[1956],{"type":15},{"_uid":1958,"title":1959,"ctaLeft":1960,"ctaRight":1961,"component":1474,"columnLeft":1962,"columnRight":2087},"719f048d-50de-412b-bd63-8a082b274345","Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), Ottawa, Ontario – Navigator Program (Medical Complexity & Family Support)",[],[],{"type":12,"content":1963},[1964,1979,1994,2009,2017,2066,2073,2082],{"type":15,"attrs":1965,"content":1966},{"textAlign":53},[1967,1972,1973,1978],{"text":1481,"type":300,"marks":1968},[1969,1971],{"type":1484,"attrs":1970},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":1488,"type":300},{"text":1974,"type":300,"marks":1975},"Amelie DesLauriers, Social Worker-System Navigator",[1976],{"type":1484,"attrs":1977},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":1980,"content":1981},{"textAlign":811},[1982,1987,1988,1993],{"text":1500,"type":300,"marks":1983},[1984,1986],{"type":1484,"attrs":1985},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":1488,"type":300},{"text":1989,"type":300,"marks":1990},"Lillian Kitchen; Teresa MacMillan",[1991],{"type":1484,"attrs":1992},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":1995,"content":1996},{"textAlign":811},[1997,2002,2003,2008],{"text":1516,"type":300,"marks":1998},[1999,2001],{"type":1484,"attrs":2000},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":1488,"type":300},{"text":2004,"type":300,"marks":2005},"Michele Hynes, Director; Chantal Krantz, Manager",[2006],{"type":1484,"attrs":2007},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":2010,"content":2011},{"textAlign":811},[2012,2016],{"text":1532,"type":300,"marks":2013},[2014],{"type":1484,"attrs":2015},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":517,"content":2018},[2019,2034,2050],{"type":520,"content":2020},[2021],{"type":15,"attrs":2022,"content":2023},{"textAlign":53},[2024,2029,2033],{"text":1546,"type":300,"marks":2025},[2026,2028],{"type":1484,"attrs":2027},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":1569,"type":300,"marks":2030},[2031],{"type":1484,"attrs":2032},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":520,"content":2035},[2036],{"type":15,"attrs":2037,"content":2038},{"textAlign":53},[2039,2044,2049],{"text":1563,"type":300,"marks":2040},[2041,2043],{"type":1484,"attrs":2042},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":2045,"type":300,"marks":2046}," N/A     ",[2047],{"type":1484,"attrs":2048},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":520,"content":2051},[2052],{"type":15,"attrs":2053,"content":2054},{"textAlign":53},[2055,2060,2065],{"text":1580,"type":300,"marks":2056},[2057,2059],{"type":1484,"attrs":2058},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":2061,"type":300,"marks":2062}," Parents in the Champlain region experiencing caregiver distress who have children and youth under the age of 18 with medical complexities and are receiving support from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO)",[2063],{"type":1484,"attrs":2064},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":476,"attrs":2067,"content":2068},{"level":810,"textAlign":811},[2069],{"text":2070,"type":300,"marks":2071},"Navigator Program ",[2072],{"type":817},{"type":15,"attrs":2074,"content":2075},{"textAlign":811},[2076,2078,2080],{"text":2077,"type":300},"Parents of children and youth with medical complexities experience many challenges when caring for their child.

Reflecting the collaborative model on which youth wellness hubs are designed, the project was led by the Rotary Club of Guelph, with partners including the Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington, the Guelph YMCA/YWCA, the University of Guelph, Shelldale Family Gateway, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre Wellington, Minto Mental Health, East Wellington Community Services and the Guelph Community Foundation.",[4185],{"type":1484,"attrs":4186},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":4189,"content":4190},{"textAlign":811},[4191,4195],{"text":1611,"type":300,"marks":4192},[4193],{"type":1484,"attrs":4194},{"color":16},{"text":4196,"type":300,"marks":4197},"@CMHAWW",[4198,4201],{"type":434,"attrs":4199},{"href":4200,"uuid":53,"anchor":53,"custom":53,"target":53,"linktype":438},"http://www.twitter.com/CMHAWW",{"type":1484,"attrs":4202},{"color":16},{"type":12,"content":4204},[4205],{"type":15},{"_uid":4207,"title":4208,"ctaLeft":4209,"ctaRight":4210,"component":1474,"columnLeft":4211,"columnRight":4347},"6f30c1d0-fbd4-4562-b42f-8039113e25f4","CBT Skills Group Society of Victoria, British Columbia ",[],[],{"type":12,"content":4212},[4213,4227,4241,4255,4264,4313,4320,4329],{"type":15,"attrs":4214,"content":4215},{"textAlign":53},[4216,4221,4226],{"text":3417,"type":300,"marks":4217},[4218,4220],{"type":1484,"attrs":4219},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":4222,"type":300,"marks":4223},"Christine Tomori",[4224],{"type":1484,"attrs":4225},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":4228,"content":4229},{"textAlign":811},[4230,4235,4240],{"text":1812,"type":300,"marks":4231},[4232,4234],{"type":1484,"attrs":4233},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":4236,"type":300,"marks":4237},"Joanne Finnegan",[4238],{"type":1484,"attrs":4239},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":4242,"content":4243},{"textAlign":811},[4244,4249,4254],{"text":1669,"type":300,"marks":4245},[4246,4248],{"type":1484,"attrs":4247},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":4250,"type":300,"marks":4251},"Doctor Joanna Cheek",[4252],{"type":1484,"attrs":4253},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":15,"attrs":4256,"content":4257},{"textAlign":811},[4258,4263],{"text":1532,"type":300,"marks":4259},[4260,4262],{"type":1484,"attrs":4261},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":517,"content":4265},[4266,4282,4297],{"type":520,"content":4267},[4268],{"type":15,"attrs":4269,"content":4270},{"textAlign":53},[4271,4276,4281],{"text":3646,"type":300,"marks":4272},[4273,4275],{"type":1484,"attrs":4274},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":4277,"type":300,"marks":4278},"Awareness and/or successful navigation of mental health and addiction services.",[4279],{"type":1484,"attrs":4280},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":520,"content":4283},[4284],{"type":15,"attrs":4285,"content":4286},{"textAlign":53},[4287,4292,4296],{"text":1563,"type":300,"marks":4288},[4289,4291],{"type":1484,"attrs":4290},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":1717,"type":300,"marks":4293},[4294],{"type":1484,"attrs":4295},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":520,"content":4298},[4299],{"type":15,"attrs":4300,"content":4301},{"textAlign":53},[4302,4307,4312],{"text":1580,"type":300,"marks":4303},[4304,4306],{"type":1484,"attrs":4305},{"color":16},{"type":817},{"text":4308,"type":300,"marks":4309}," Adults (aged 17.5 to 75) with mild to moderate mental health conditions who attended the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Skills Group program following a referral from primary care.",[4310],{"type":1484,"attrs":4311},{"color":16},{"text":1495,"type":300},{"type":476,"attrs":4314,"content":4315},{"level":810,"textAlign":811},[4316],{"text":4317,"type":300,"marks":4318},"Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Skills Group Program ",[4319],{"type":817},{"type":15,"attrs":4321,"content":4322},{"textAlign":811},[4323,4328],{"text":4324,"type":300,"marks":4325},"The CBT Skills Group program is an eight-week, publicly-funded, evidence-based intervention for adults with mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety or depression.

The 14-week program has a group component one day a week for two hours, along with one session of individual counselling per week. In each cycle of the program, 12 participants are registered. Clinicians and peer supporters facilitate the DBT Skills groups.

Clients call a phone number to have a peer supervise them virtually. If the client becomes unresponsive, the peer calls 911 to send an ambulance to the client. Physical supervised consumption sites reduce mortality rates to a maximum of 500 meters around them, but the majority of overdoses (80-95%) occur outside of this therapeutic radius, in suburban communities and rural communities, where individuals often use substances alone.

Many people with moderate mental health conditions cannot access a psychiatrist at all, resulting in family physicians providing all of their mental health care without advice from a specialist. This project aimed to improve access to psychiatric care for Vancouver residents aged 19 to 64. The team developed a shared care model of managing non-acute cases virtually on an outpatient basis in conjunction with primary care providers, so psychiatrists could provide patients with efficient short-term care without assuming ongoing responsibility for care or utilizing office space. Access improvements were assessed on an ongoing basis by comparing the median wait time from referral to first appointment for the virtual psychiatry prototype, versus existing psychiatry models of care in British Columbia. The team also evaluated patient-reported health outcomes.

And so that was one piece that interested the organization. Further to that, there was interest in working with CFHI to build relationships with provincial health authorities. And so we did that for a period of time. We were in conversation. We actually signed a memorandum of understanding with CFHI. But then there were some challenges in the relationship and really, those challenges were broader issues than just an individual. And we didn't quite understand them at first in the context of the organization. And as we continued the conversation over time, there was a little bit of a pause. And when I think about that now, it was a good pause because it was an opportunity for reflection. And as new people came on, Carol Fancott, and later on meeting Despina Papadopoulos, we had an opportunity to have further conversation about the relationship, about the partnership and how to grow that, and to understand the different factors or variables that were part of every relationship. So whether it's a relationship between organizations or a relationship between people, there are different factors and variables that are at play. And so the conversation really was about exploring those elements and trying to understand them. And one of the key things that I found critically important and in our work together to re-establish the relationship with greater clarity is the genuine listening skills. And so often times there would be conversations and then questions that maybe sometimes were asked with a little bit of shyness.

The subject matter is very difficult, and feeling– we want to make a difference in this area. And it matters. And it matters to our partners, our northern network partners. But it also matters to all of us within CFHI and to the Indigenous partners that we were forming new relationships with. So, yeah, it was– and sometimes I think maybe it was the newness that was actually quite helpful. I was new to CFHI, I was new to this area, and I was very open to wanting to learn. And I didn't have any preconceived ideas about how we run collaboratives, how we run programming. It was truly, and I think our entire team, the Northern and Indigenous Health Team, was very open because this was the first collaborative that we were doing as a group in this area. And so, again, going in without preconceived ways that we had to work, I think there was an element of freedom in that.

And we've heard that that doesn't sit well. It doesn't accommodate, it doesn't respect, it doesn't reflect the values or the needs that you have expressed on behalf of First Nations people. Let's talk about that.” And so that's another important element, following, you know, the courage to have the dialogue, to have the hard conversation, to be respectful in the questions, is to take time. And my father used to say to me, anything worth having takes hard work. It takes time. And so we spent time in conversation and asking the question, exploring the possibilities, learning about where we've been and where we can go. Who else needs to become part of the relationship? Is it ready to invite others, are we ready to invite others to the relationship, to the conversation, for the potential and possibilities for the future? It wasn't a conversation or a relationship that was nicely mapped out as a logic model. We're going to go from step A to B to C, and the outcome we're hoping for is this. We explored it and we were willing to map it out as we went along.

And the people who participated in that sunrise ceremony were the people from CFHI, ourselves, and the community members who were participating, as well as the people who came from the Western Health organization. And that morning when we conducted that ceremony, I think you could, you know, speak to any one of those people, and they could tell you vividly their recollection of how when we lit the fire on the shore and we began the ceremony, how the sun came up, and as it was rising it hit the face of a cliff, and that cliff just turned golden. And as that happened, we heard– some people who were facing out to the ocean actually saw two seals pop their heads up and sit there and watch and listen as we were participating in that ceremony.

And so when we first started on this journey with CFHI, and Thunderbird was brought into the conversation along with First Peoples, there was a recognition that having the opportunity to bring in multiple voices that could contribute to the conversation around mental wellness and Indigenous mental wellness was critical. We, as First Nations people, couldn't speak on behalf of the other Indigenous groups, but it was important to have people at the table who had Métis knowledge and who were familiar with the concepts of mental wellness and had worked with communities around Métis wellness and Métis health indicators, I guess you could say. So there was an important part, I think, about that. It wasn't just one way of doing and one way of knowing that helped to guide the work that we were doing as a guidance group. And so there was that opportunity for co-learning and codesigning that came by creating a guidance group that had both Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizations at the table with the knowledge around mental wellness and suicide prevention and, ultimately, life promotion. Because of the recognition in the guiding principles around reconciliation and health transformation, that for so long there had not been equitable opportunities for Indigenous knowledge to play an equal part in the development of new initiatives or new knowledge that influences health care and health systems.

I often talk about Indigenous knowledge and the difference between Indigenous knowledge and sacred knowledge. Sacred knowledge belongs to the cultural societies, the medicine societies, ceremonial societies of First Nations people across Canada. And there are many distinct and unique societies that hold that sacred knowledge that has gone across many, many generations fully intact. And there are certain parameters around that knowledge, and it's specifically for First Nations people. But as holders of that knowledge, students of that knowledge, teachers of that knowledge, we all have the responsibility and learn how to translate that knowledge. Likewise, communities, they have their stories about how to live life well, and that knowledge is the same. It's been passed on from generation to generation with the mindset of supporting the future with good guidance for living life well. That's sacred knowledge. All of that gets translated across generations because it has to apply in the current context. And so the discussion on the ownership of knowledge was so critical because from a First Nations lens, it doesn't belong to any organization. It belongs to the people. It belongs to our future, and we have a responsibility to ensure its integrity and its safety for the future. That was the critical conversation that we were having with CFHI.

That was the original description that I received, but it very quickly became much more than that. Where I think it worked really well from a coaching perspective is that we as coaches were able to meet with non-Indigenous staff, often from health authorities, and they could practice with us doing a land acknowledgement. Or they could ask questions about how to offer an Elder in the community tobacco, or about what was expected of them when they arrived in the community to dialogue with the Indigenous people who lived there. And I hadn't seen that model happen before, where non-Indigenous health care providers could have the opportunity to get coaching and mentoring, to practice these new ways of communicating and these new ways of engaging with their Indigenous partners. So I think it worked really beautifully, and it allowed them to build their capacity and to grow. And so I think as a coach, I also took the time to often challenge them to think about their unconscious bias, to think about their perception of First Nations and Métis and Inuit people based on where they learned their information, and to break down some of those barriers that existed, because a lot of information received as Canadians is coming from the media, and it's often slanted or skewed in one way or another. And so this was a chance for them to actually have discussion with us as coaches about what our true lived experience was, and how we felt history would potentially impact the ongoing communications or the goals that they were trying to reach.",{"type":15,"attrs":6962,"content":6963},{"textAlign":53},[6964],{"text":6965,"type":300},"[28:24] ",{"type":15,"attrs":6967,"content":6968},{"textAlign":53},[6969],{"text":6970,"type":300},"[Brenda Restoule]: The guidance group spent quite a bit of time talking about what would be some of those key pieces of information or transmission of knowledge that could support them in their own collaborative, but also really create a shift in how the non-Indigenous health organizations and the Indigenous communities could work in a different way that would promote health transformation at the same time. And so some of the ones that they talked about, that they were offered, I should say, was allyship, cultural safety and humility, readiness, Indigenous knowledge, so centring Indigenous knowledge. And we had lots of discussions about who within the guidance group or outside of the guidance group might hold that knowledge, who could do those webinars.

But that, in fact, wasn't the case. We realized that a team maybe that had a whole different rhythm to their moving forward in their learning and understanding was perhaps maybe really, really, deeply transformational for them. And so I certainly saw on the team individual transformation of people's worldviews starting to shift. And I think, as others have mentioned, at times, it did mean some really kind but gentle pushing and questioning against bias or ways of doing, because there was that natural impulse to just go back to doing business as usual in thinking about moving a project forward. But that notion that you need to step back, you need to listen, you need to walk alongside, it doesn't mean your view isn't important. But in this particular process, in this particular collaborative, we are going to keep emphasizing the Indigenous voice and the Indigenous worldview.

We relied a lot on qualitative methods and Indigenous research methods, and I believe, as an external evaluator, that this really allowed us to come up with an evaluation and a report that was strong. It was rigorous, valid and accountable. It measured what we set out to do. So it looked at, you know, under what circumstances relationships could be built. It allowed us to track innovations that happened, for example, changes in the coaching model. Because part way through, we realized the coaching model had to be adapted. There had to be more experiential learning, so all those things could be accounted for with our evaluation framework. Another thing that was important is also to include Indigenous research methods.

And I spoke earlier a little bit about change management process, and you know, there's certainly a lot of, you know, mainstream models and approaches to that.
