The need for interpreter services has never been greater. Good, clear, and accurate communication is essential in delivering exceptional care to any child or youth.  When families enter a healthcare organization and do not speak one of the official languages, they are often at their most vulnerable state. Organizations should have interpreter services that are accessible, and staff should be provided with the tools necessary to provide the highest quality interpreter services to their families. CHEO has recently expanded their interpreter services. The aim of this webinar is to share these new services and strategies. 

Many community workers support clients who want to apply for permanent resident status in Canada. One way to do this is by making a Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application. An H&C is a request to apply for PR status from inside Canada that is based on all of the person’s circumstances.

This webinar will outline important details about the H&C process - who can apply and what supporting evidence community workers can help clients gather. Our speakers will also share resources, tips, and cautions about making an H&C application. 

 ASL Interpretation will be provided. 

Presented by Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO).

This event is hosted by NorWest Community Health Centres in Partnership with Ontario Health.

#Webinar Description:

How do we prevent falls in older adults without being overprotective? For those who are frail or approaching frailty, daily activities create risk for falls.  The term “dignity of risk” was introduced by Perske in 1972 who stated “in the past, we found clever ways to build avoidance of risk into the lives of persons living with disabilities. We have learned there can be crippling indignity in safety. Prioritizing safeguarding over the rights of individuals to independent decision-making is a limitation on personal freedom.
