Let’s take another look at Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and consider its place within a recovery-oriented approach for mental health care.

Do you want to start a mentoring program in your school or local community? Do you work with an existing mentoring program but you want to improve your outcomes?

The Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) is a network of community mentoring agencies, government and youth working together to raise the profile of mentoring in Alberta. We exist to help schools and mentoring agencies meet the needs of the children and youth they serve.

By providing access to mentoring resources and toolkits, training materials, and research, AMP builds the capacity of school and agency partners to deliver great mentorship programming.

This webinar will provide an overview of the various tools and resources we have to offer to help you expand or enhance your mentoring program. We also have new online training opportunities for mentors and mentees we would like to showcase.

This is the first session in a three part series. We encourage you to sign up for all three sessions. 

Trans youth are part of a increasingly visible group in society but their experience is still little misundersood and their needs remains largely unmet.
 

This three-part webinar series aims at exploring the experience of trans youth and their families, as well a how social work can respond to some of their needs. This session, Part 1, will explore some of the basic concepts and latest research evidence in order to better understand trans youth's experience. 

Part 2 will discuss of the experiences of families who care for trans children and youth.  Finally, part 3 will discuss how social work, by its values and missions, can intervene and facilitate social change to improve the lives of trans children, youth and families.

This presentation will address teaching and learning processes that lead to effective social work graduates. A long-standing multi-project program of research on social work education has identified a model of holistic competence for all levels of social work practice. This model guides the design and testing of innovative approaches to teach and assess students’ practice. Simulation-based learning prepares, bridges, and enhances engagement in field learning. The presentation will draw from these experiences and research to identify best practices for field education.

This session is being delivered in partnership with Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) School of Social Work.

The “Make Resilience Matter” project uses NLSCY findings which show that IPV exposed children with better psycho-social outcomes have higher levels of school connectedness, family cohesion and social supports.

The qualitative data from this project support these results with interview participants reporting school/school related activities, extended family and social supports as contributing to their resilience processes.

These findings indicate that environments are critical to resilience promotion. Helping professionals need to enlist schools as vital resilience resources for youth for healthy outlets from violent environments. Extended family members and supportive adults are also crucial for these youth to turn to, as are strong social support networks. Availability of these options outside of the home appear to contribute to resilient outcomes for vulnerable IPV exposed youth.   

This webinar will explore the following areas:

There has been increasing emphasis on placing children with kin when removed from their families.
