How to Build a Criminal - Psychosocial Implications for PreventionYCEC_YorkU
Workshop by Glendon Rayworth, Psy.D., C.Psych.
E-mail: glendonrayworth@live.ca
2013 Conference - Being Proactive II: Looking after the Mental Health and Well-Being of Children and Youth in our Communities and Schools, York Centre for Education and Community (YCEC), York University
Professional women in various sectors are still facing challenges as they make efforts to wade their way into influential positions of leadership. Some of their biggest challenges are found in the patriarchal environment in which they operate where male dominance is a huge obstacle in their professional career development. So how can women maintain their etiquette and professionalism yet still find space to grow as leaders?
Is Donald Trump a Narcissist? Learn the signs and you decide.Tracy Malone
Is Donald Trump a Narcissist? A trending question as we will soon have him as our president. never before has a mental illness been on the minds of the people of the world. In this presentation I have put together the behaviors, red flags and the actual symptoms someone must present in order to be diagnosed as a narcissist.
Better Communication in Nursing - Ending Nursing Violencegriehl
In Nursing, there exists a culture of lateral violence and bullying, I have finally come to the realization that what we are seeing is the symptom of something much larger, something that starts, grows, and is nurtured with our own participation. We communicate in ways that have the ability to support each other, but we can also communicate in ways that are hurtful, mean, and contribute to a culture of oppression. We need to change our culture.

Presenting 8:30-9:30 a.m. on Tuesday May 22 at STC Summit 2012. Ann Grove and Barrie Byron are veteran presenters who are passionate about lifelong learning and experienced in embracing change.
Sharing what I have learned as a moonias working with Indigenous people on Indigenous research projects, some advice of the Do’s and Do nots, and White Privilege. What is an Indigenous Community? How do you find, and work with Elders? What is two-eyed seeing and why does OCAP matter? The platinum rule and wise, not best, practices in research. Knowing where you are and where you come from is vital to establish positive, meaningful relationships as research is all about relationships.

Guide to acknowledging Indigenous Peoples, Land, and Traditional Territorygriehl
The goal of this speaker series is to encourage all faculty and staff to acknowledge, where appropriate, the Indigenous peoples, on whose land, and traditional territory we live, learn, and work. Acknowledgment by itself before a meeting, printed in an email or a course outline, is a small gesture, but it becomes more powerful and meaningful when coupled with personal statements, authentic local knowledge and relationships and informed action
In the eyes of our patients and families we are often the heroes of healthcare. But in our own eyes, or the eyes of our peers, we are often ‘just a nurse’. I have been a part of the nursing family for 3 decades and have had the privilege and honour to be with people on all aspects of their journeys through life and death. The challenges of being a nurse are only outweighed by the rewards of the profession and is why I remain dedicated to the next generation of nurses.
Intergenerational trauma is the transmission of historical oppression and its negative consequences across generations. There is evidence of the impact of intergenerational trauma on the health and well-‐being and on the health and social disparities facing Indigenous peoples in Canada and other countries.
Culture, everybody does it, everybody knows about it, nobody talks about it. Culture is more than food fashion and fun. And Nursing culture is Nursing culture. Focus on the Platinum Rule
Kindred Spirits or Wild Horses: There is more than one way to Indigenize Acad...griehl
Most educational institutions are based on western conceptualizations and knowledge bases. Moving forward it will be important to include ways to decolonize our institutions to include the voices and stories indigenous cultures across Canada. There will be conflict as there is no one way to mesh the different world views, but through kindred spirits, the wild horses can come together to find new paths for greater understanding, growth, and reconciliation. Through Kindred Spirits and Wild Horse we indigenize by holistically integrating Aboriginal ways of knowing, teaching and learning within all of the institutional practices, procedures and services that we provide to students, staff and communities. This results in Aboriginal people seeing themselves and their realities reflected in our institutional practices. It also results in non-Aboriginal people gaining the skills and knowledge that enable them to work with and live alongside their Aboriginal neighbors knowledgeably and respectfully.
Safety in the workplace from Lateral Violence to Lateral Kindness Awasis 2016griehl
Lateral violence exists on a spectrum, from seemingly ordinary behaviour such as gossiping or criticism, to intimidation, racism and outright physical intimidation or harm. Lateral violence cannot thrive when employers, co-workers, and team-members become ethically and legally responsible. We do not accept bullying in our schools or other workplaces so why do we accept it or turn a blind eye within our teams? The concern is that lateral violence is happening or fostered at various levels and going on where we have learned to oppress one another and has become normal. Often, lateral violence is a mind-set based on fear rather than respect.
The goal of the presentation is to empower individuals to recognize lateral violence and intervene, through conflict resolution and to avoid unhealthy coping strategies. Having the conversation is what matters . . . it shows that everyone shares the responsibility for behaviour that affects our teams and our communities; we need to show our students healthy communication and role models so they will be able to model behaviours to lead us into the future in a balanced and health way forward.
Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

15. How to Be an Informed Aboriginal Ally
by Madison Burns
Being an ally is not part of my identity but is part of an action or a practice that I take
Allies should seek to spread equity for the sake of justice and ensure that everyone is treated with
the same levels of support and protection.
Being an “ally” means recognizing your privileges and expressing solidarity with groups that are
marginalized or oppressed
Allies operate behind the scenes, it is not about taking credit, it is about giving and supporting
credit
16. Recognizing my privilege.
Firstly, to be an effective ally I need to recognize the privileges I may (unknowingly) be benefitting
from.
As a true ally I am aware of my privilege and I am willing to speak up about it without taking
attention away from those who are marginalized.
As a true ally this can only be decided by those who I am working with, that is, it is not up to me
at all.
Really, I am aligning myself with others, it is an action, and an act of doing something, and not
something to be turned on or off when it is convenient.
20. Feeling Uncomfortable
This may mean I am not invited, or I am asked to leave… and sometimes that is hard… but that
means I have done my job as an ally.
This means constant education, and constant reflection, and allowing time…
21. Allies in Research
Indigenous research will be joined by allied researchers
Always include wise people
Number of elders on the team >2
Need to link local to national programs if available or possible
Ground up, bottom up, not top down
Circles, not squares, not lines.
Land based, seasonality, balanced.
22. The Nightmare Before
Christmas
“If you’re going to learn about other people’s cultures and traditions, approach it from a place of
respect. Go to the people who live that life and treat them as the experts. Listen to others if they say
you’re stepping over your bounds. Show humility. Ask questions in a respectful way. Don’t try to
“improve” cultural elements just because that’s easier than understanding it fully. Above all, practice
empathy. And that’s a pretty good lesson for us at any age.” Katie Schenkel
23. Best or Wise Practices
Indigenous Knowledge Transfer (IKT) Indigenous Knowledge (IK) Knowledge Translation (KT)
Need to support Indigenous ways of knowing, need to link to ceremony/s
Wellbriety versus sobriety, wholistic…
Nutritional harm reduction
Community Identifies needs: system or institution identifying needs, points to consider as
opposed to weaknesses
UNDRIP principles – how to evaluate IK using Indigenous frameworks – needs specificity, # of
interviews, # of interventions
Informed by the TRC and community consultations
24. How to Build and Support Trust
Three biggest institutions of historical trauma and mistrust
Justice, health, education
Honorariums – clarity/equity between all participants’ youth to elder, childcare, transportation
Indigenous students traumatized and suffering, deficit based
Partners - is the partner Indigenous?
A University is not Indigenous.
25. Traditional Questions
Stigmatizing disease, illnesses, Western medicine always wants to FIX something
What are you trying to fix?
Lateral violence as opposed to lateral kindness - Lateral violence focuses on deficits not strengths
Advisory board oversees what? Terms Of Reference (TOR) needs to indicate what?
Do you even need a TOR
Good governance structure or model developed and supported by elder and community input
26. Strength Based Research
Strengths based as opposed to deficit based approaches
Interviews – How are the interviews being conducted, sharing circles, elder involvement, shared
power, equal voice,
Knowledge gaps, what is being addressed, be specific, need to identify
Responding to suicide through community and culture
Responding to communities and families with low or no self harm
Researchers receive training from the community, focus on a balanced team
Support for non – Indigenous mentors, all mentors receive support
27. To For With
Western thought – increase awareness of effects of colonialism BUT most Indigenous populations
already know about the effects
Resiliency – bouncing back hopefully more than that – thriving, striving, more than just surviving
Means, variable, and interests need to be defined
Actively recruit the underrepresented – gender, sexuality, those with low opportunity hard to
reach, often this population is not represented
Avoid Broad statements – this will benefit a lot of people and be used with other people – need
to be more specific
28. What about Research - Methods
Decolonizing Methodologies vs Indigenous Methodology – Indigenizing vs reconciling, deliberate
dialogue
Two-eyed Seeing approach, good to add to this
Multi directional learning KTE throughout the process/phases
Code of ethics practice working with Indigenous researchers CMT
Bidirectional Knowledge exchange between mentors and mentees, both have knowledge,
culturally grounded mentorship – Four pillars of CIHR
Teaching into action, How will it be delivered and translated out, catalyst for the future
29. So what about Research?
Knowledge Generation (KG) –local elders, scholars, knowledge keepers,
KT are articles co-authored with community members
What are you going to evaluate or inventory
Knowledge Holder (KH) for anything document versus Knowledge User
Ethnography – who owns our observations?
OCAP – ownership, control, access, possession
Sharing circle – how will this be evaluated
30. OCAP
What happens after the program, intervention?
Cultural Teachings – drumming, singing, smudge, tobacco, whole family, storytelling, sharing/talking circles,
Cultural lens – more Indigenous and cultural approaches
Cultural Continuity & Transformation Research, Social Continuity, and Change
Do not focus on the development of the research; do focus on the development of the members of the Indigenous
people
Project Scope, ultimate benefits,
Data collection, how to analyze multi methods of collection modalities
GIS – mapping – OCAP, community should get software and own it and use it and maintain this data and tools
Indicators or markers of success – what will the program add to
31. Trends
Cultural Competency is out, Cultural Safety yes, Cultural Humility very good
Cultural competence focuses on service provider’s cultural safety and humility focuses on clients
Humans not at the top of the hierarchy, focus on balance with all creatures
land based programs and interventions
Mentors mentees (the land is a mentor) are co-learners
Cultural and ecological wellness need to be defined
32. Outputs

Direct money and funding toward the community
33. Dos and do nots (mmmmmm donuts!)
Budget describes activities; these activities need to be in the proposal
Separation between those providing services and those evaluating, separate implementers from
evaluators
From the community for the community
Can we come up with a different term/inology for train-the-trainer
Concern that $ is going directly to grad students, PIs, etc
Letters or interest, support from the community, not a form letter, letters of support need to
focus on the project not the institution or researcher
350 page submissions, 20 years of research, uhmmm no…

and maintaining respectful
relationships.
There are no shortcuts.”
Justice Murray Sinclair
36. What is my role in research?
I need to understand myself, my place, my invisible knapsack or worldview, my assumptions and
understanding of myself and of others and relationships and power dynamics.
What is the goal of research? as a Moonias it is often about learning more about myself as
opposed to the outcomes, results, the data or findings of the other.
We all need to be a bit more self-reflexive
37. & DonT be arfaid to

Editor's Notes
1) Prisoner: this participant is there because they have been “told” to attend. They don’t want to be there and don’t see why they need to be there. They don’t want to contribute and they will lower the energy levels in the room.
2) Vacationer: the person who’s attending because it’s an excuse for a “day off ” from their normal job. They will get involved, but are not really interested in learning anything – more about having fun and avoiding the work they left behind on their desk.
3) Keener: this participant is there to genuinely learn as much as they can from the session. This type of learner is attentive during the session, gets actively involved in group work and brings high levels of energy into the room.
4) Expert: you clearly know more than I do,

Sharing what I have learned as a moonias working with Indigenous people on Indigenous research projects, some advice of the Do’s and Do nots, and White Privilege. What is an Indigenous Community? How do you find, and work with Elders? What is two-eyed seeing and why does OCAP matter? The platinum rule and wise, not best, practices in research. Knowing where you are and where you come from is vital to establish positive, meaningful relationships as research is all about relationships.
KT in Aboriginal contexts is: sharing what we know about living a good life.1
This is quite different from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), which defines KT as: a dynamic and iterative process that includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically sound application of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians, provide more effective health services and products and strengthen the health care system
http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/41392.html

"The reality is that historically, we've experienced, as Indigenous people, a host of bad outcomes from the initial engagement," Crowshoe said in an interview with CBC News.
"All that historical stuff that tends to be outside of what we learn as health practitioners is deeply embedded in the nature of how health care is organized," he added.
"The institutions of health care services arise from a dominant society and those can be experienced in a very negative way [by Indigenous people]."
"This idea of working together also really came through," she said, "where the provider wasn't just coming across and saying 'this is what you have to do'. They had a relationship, saying, 'what can we do right now, what's manageable in your circumstances in life?'“
