Trauma informed care is a universal, systematic approach that is grounded in an understanding of, and responsiveness to, the impact of trauma. Primary care providers often see patients who have experienced traumatic events, but they don’t know how to help. Adopting trauma-informed practices can potentially improve patient engagement, treatment adherence, and health outcomes, as well as provider and staff wellness. Learn more about how you can support your patients with trauma informed care in this upcoming FREE four-part Special Interest ECHO Series on Trauma Informed Care for Primary Care Providers.

Dr. Sweetman will make a case for more ongoing health workforce planning as a critical proactive solution.

Registration: Collecting and Using Disaggregated Data - CSPS (csps-efpc.gc.ca)
Description
"The analysis of disaggregated user data is a key factor in making informed decisions regarding the design and delivery of federal policies and programs. In doing so, departments and agencies can leverage this disaggregated data to reveal trends, patterns, and inequalities between diverse groups sorted by attributes such as gender, region, ethnicity, and countless others. However, standards for data collection and analysis are still evolving.
This informative event will explore how to responsibly collect and use disaggregated data to better understand how Canadians engage with government policies, programs and initiatives. The event will also highlight the ways in which evidence-based and behaviourally informed insights can help to promote and improve fairness and inclusivity.
Participants will learn from guest experts who will discuss the practical and applied uses of disaggregated data, strategies for gathering and using disaggregated data, as well as how it ties into Gender-based Analysis Plus.

"Immigrant and refugee populations in Canada are more exposed to the known social determinants of Health (SDoH) that contribute to mental health problems and illnesses. Newcomers also tend to access mental health services less often and face numerous barriers when doing so. This uneven access to the SDoH contributes to health inequities. When delivering mental health or settlement programs, it is essential that they do not exacerbate inequities.
The Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA) tool was developed by the Government of Ontario to improve health equity and reduce disparities in health outcomes among population groups. In this webinar, you’ll be introduced to how you can use the HEIA tool to reduce the unintended consequences of the programs and services you deliver for newcomers.
Intended audience: leaders and service providers in the health, settlement and social service sectors."
