Du 24 au 26 février 2021
L’Institut d’apprentissage de Cadre est un des seuls congrès nationaux au Canada à se consacrer exclusivement à la transformation du système de santé mentale et de traitement de la toxicomanie chez les jeunes. Il s’agit d’une occasion unique de réunir différents acteurs du secteur issus de disciplines, d’horizons et d’expériences variés dans le but de transposer les connaissances en action.
Quel est le thème de cette année?
Cette année, nous sommes résolus à remettre en question le statu quo ou ce que nous considérons comme des approches conventionnelles de prestation des services de santé mentale et de traitement de la toxicomanie auprès des jeunes. L’accent sera mis sur la création d’une plateforme pour les acteurs du changement qui travaillent à la mise sur pied de services plus équitables, accessibles, innovants et mieux adaptés aux jeunes pour soutenir ces derniers et leur famille dans toutes les collectivités du Canada.
Comment se déroulera le congrès?
L’Institut d’apprentissage 2021 de Cadre sera présenté en mode virtuel. Le programme permettra aux participants d’accéder à des ateliers, des séances, des exposants et des activités de réseautage, à leur convenance et dans le confort de leur foyer (vraiment, qu’y a-t-il de mieux que faire du réseautage… en pyjama?).
Cadre travaille en outre sur quelques activités surprises qui permettront aux participants de nouer des contacts avec les présentateurs et entre eux, en temps réel, grâce à des espaces et salons interactifs immersifs.
Quels sont les principaux domaines de discussion cette année?
L’Institut d’apprentissage de Cadre sera axé sur plusieurs domaines d’intérêt cette année, pour s’aligner sur le travail de nos partenaires du réseau et les domaines d’intervention de Cadre. Comme le congrès sera virtuel, vous aurez accès à tout le contenu, et pourrez personnaliser la façon dont vous vivrez l’événement en fonction de vos préférences.
- Approches créatives
- Il sera question des thérapies et traitements nouveaux et différents qui ont été conçus par les jeunes, pour les jeunes. Du cinéma, des jeux vidéo et de la danse jusqu’à la réalité virtuelle, la musicothérapie et des programmes culturels, ce parcours présentera les pratiques, les programmes et les mesures de soutien les plus récents qui, partout au Canada, aident les jeunes par la conception et la mise en œuvre expérientielles.
- Soutien communautaire et directement dans le milieu
- parfois, le fait de disposer de moins de ressources, de capacités ou de financement ouvre la voie à des solutions créatives et à des pratiques durables. On entend par soutien communautaire et dans le milieu les organismes et programmes qui sont intégrés dans les collectivités et les régions, et qui ont mis sur pied des pratiques et modes de soutien efficaces grâce à des années d’expérience dans le domaine de la santé mentale et de la toxicomanie chez les jeunes. Ces services sont exploratoires et produisent des données probantes grâce à diverses méthodes d’évaluation.
- Recherche et milieu universitaire
- faisant valoir le travail réalisé pour soutenir la pratique par la recherche, ce parcours porte sur les pratiques et les initiatives fondées sur des faits probants et ancrés dans la recherche et les travaux universitaires les plus récents. Qu’il s’agisse des dernières innovations en matière de soins virtuels, de l’exploration de services holistiques intégrés pour les jeunes ou de la manière d’enraciner des pratiques équitables en santé mentale et en toxicomanie chez les jeunes, ce parcours a tout pour vous intéresser.
- Le réseau Cadre
- ce parcours met en lumière les projets et travaux des partenaires qui ont tendu la main à Cadre au cours de la dernière année en raison de nos programmes de subventions, nos projets ou nos collaborations. Nous comptons des partenaires super brillants dans notre réseau, et nous sommes enchantés de mettre l’accent sur leur travail.
Alors, pourquoi un Institut d’apprentissage?
Parce que nous en avons vraiment, vraiment besoin. Le système est fragmenté et cloisonné, et Cadre a pour mission de construire des ponts par la collaboration et l’échange. Grâce à l’Institut d’apprentissage, nous pourrons :
-
fournir aux partenaires et aux parties prenantes de Cadre, dont les jeunes et les familles, une occasion de discuter, d’apprendre et de collaborer afin de transformer le système de santé mentale et de toxicomanie chez les jeunes;
-
contribuer à la construction d’un meilleur système pour servir tous les jeunes et les familles tout en faisant progresser la valeur de l’expérience vécue dans la conception et la prestation des services;
-
explorer de nouvelles approches et thérapies différentes pour soigner la maladie mentale et la toxicomanie chez les jeunes, qui pourraient être élargies pour rejoindre d’autres collectivités et régions du Canada;
-
promouvoir l’utilisation cohérente des données et des faits probants dans la conception des services;
-
réunir des partenaires nationaux et internationaux de diverses disciplines liées à la maladie mentale et la toxicomanie juvéniles qui ont différentes origines et expériences, et faciliter la mobilisation des connaissances et l’échange d’information.
-
créer un espace accueillant et sûr pour discuter de maladie mentale et de toxicomanie chez les jeunes dans une perspective d’équité, de diversité et d’inclusion, dont les facteurs à prendre en compte dans la conception de services et de systèmes pertinents sur le plan contextuel, culturel et géographique pour tous les jeunes Canadiens et leur famille.

Session description:
Give your body and mind a break from sitting in front of your screen with an expressive arts movement and sound exploration. Participants will be encouraged to check in with their bodies, connect with their breath and move around their space, while maintaining their personal comfort. We acknowledge that everyone has different experiences of mobility and connection to their body. As such we do our best to facilitate in a way that is open for all levels of mobility. No supplies or prior experience required! We hope to see you there.Facilitators:
Norah Mooney - My name is Norah Mooney (she/her); I am an artist, and expressive arts therapist. For the last ten years I have been living in a remote town commonly known today as Sioux Lookout.In my work as an EXAT I help people who have experienced trauma and for whatever reason have been unable to process it in a way that allows them to move forward with their life. Art making allows space for the individual to express what is happening for them internally, without being limited or intimidated by language. As an expressive arts therapist I am here to nurture and guide the creative process.Carla Vinczeffy-Rose, RP, EXAT - Carla is an Expressive Arts Psychotherapist who has been working with Indigenous children and youth and their families for the past nine years. Her gentle, client-centered approach involves sensitivity and attunement to each client’s unique needs. Carla was born and raised in northwestern Ontario. After leaving the area for more than a decade, she returned in 2011 to raise her three children, who consistently inspire and influence her work in the expressive arts.

Sumaira - My name is Sumaira and I am a youth facilitator and speaker at YouthSpeak. Poetry has been a passion of mine ever since I learnt how to read. In my free time, I perform as a spoken word poet which has not only been a form of creative expression, but also helped me overcome my personal mental health challenges and speak up on important social justice issues. I believe that everyone has the ability to be a poet and express themselves with their words. Through this workshop I hope to leave everyone feeling empowered by their words and motivated to continue writing! - 11:30am - 12:30pm (EST)

Optional activity: Yoga
During this 30 minute practice we will work on restoring and balancing both the physical and emotional body. This yoga practice will focus on stress reduction, helping improve concentration, breathing techniques as well as getting your body moving and energized. Yoga is often seen as purely physical exercise; however the biggest benefits of practicing yoga are the ability to reduce stress, relieve anxiety, reduce chronic pain, promote sleep quality and improve flexibility and balance. Yoga can be done anywhere and with little or no equipment, by adding yoga to your daily routine you will not only feel and look great but your mental health will benefit considerably. It’s very important to take at a few minutes during your day to reconnect with your body and do something for yourself; therefore I invite you to join my class to have fun and learn some techniques that you can use with your patients/clients or loved ones. Please note, that no previous experience is required and I will be providing modifications for beginners or more advance students.
Facilitator:
Lina Montano - I was introduced to yoga 10 years ago and since then I made it part of my lifestyle. I fell in love with yoga because for me is not just a physical activity but it teaches essential life lessons like passion, love, care and respect. Three years ago I decide to move forward with my practice and become a yoga instructor; during my course I learned from unique teachers who gave me the knowledge to be able to teach different yoga styles specializing in Hatha and vinyasa flow. My classes vary from day to day so they will always keep you on your toes! - 1pm - 2pm (EST)

Creating A Safe Environment for Youth in Research: The UBC Youth Research Advisory Panel - 4:30 - 6pm (EST): Closing Plenary
- The components that fall under the mental health and substance use service umbrella are different for everyone. It can depend on context, culture, socioeconomic status and more. Important factors, contexts, and illnesses are often left out of service provision catchment creating a wide gap for youth with complex mental illness and/or substance use issues. This plenary will feature youth change makers who are working to shed light on topics that are often left out of the conversation, so that we can collectively broaden our understanding of true system service and help youth and their families find the right help at the right time in the right place. It’s time to fill the gap, not just avoid it.

This Waterloo/Wellington Region crisis continuum of care program works to improve client flow away from and through the acute care hospital system back into the community in a seamless and efficient manner. It is available to children and youth who have been triaged by the Emergency Department as needing non-emergency/urgent community supports and/or respite.
Services include: a community emergency diversion team, community respite care (1-5 days), clinical services and step-down community-based transition beds (4-6week treatment program and coordinated transition home supports).
Brief Community mental health service is as an integrated support within 6 different primary care settings in Waterloo Region. It allows for a warm transfer from the client’s physician to brief supports and/or to the best pathway for resource linkage and treatment referrals whether it be through core funded mental health services, or elsewhere.

For many young people experiencing mental health or substance use concerns, emergency departments (EDs) are often a first point of contact when seeking health care. While EDs address the urgent needs of young people, they are not equipped to provide long-term mental health support. Responding to an increase in youth visiting EDs, Mount Sinai Hospital implemented the RBC Pathway to Peers (P2P) program, an innovative model of care developed in partnership with Stella’s Place.
Our program offers rapid access to mental health services leveraging the expertise of trained peer support workers who have lived experience with mental illness. These peers are integrated into the ED clinical care team and provide support to youth through active listening, sharing coping strategies, and providing relevant community referrals.
We will share our journey launching a Peer Support program within a healthcare institution, and explore how we can continue to support the young adult population.

Young Albertans are among the most underserved populations when it comes to mental health and addictions challenges, and not for lack of evidence-based treatments. The problem is the lack of integration among existing services, making it hard for young people and families/caregivers to know which door to walk through.
Integrated service centres are a promising new concept to care with potential to irrevocably change the lives of Alberta’s young people, today and into the future. AB-IYSI was created to help young people find help more easily by coordinating and connecting a variety of services in a single location.
It all begins with the launch of our brand and website — and the creation of both have been led by young people and families; giving ownership of the project to those closest to the issue. We commit to continuing to co-creating this initiative with young people and families across Alberta.

- Holly Stanczak - Jack.org Evaluation and Impact Manager
Youth and family engagement is essential in youth mental health (YMH). Finding accessible, engaging methods for eliciting these stakeholders’ views remains a challenge. This workshop draws on a Photovoice project within ACCESS Open Minds (a pan-Canadian YMH network) to highlight the value of arts-based approaches in facilitating engagement.
AOM’s Youth and Family/Carers councils played critical roles in implementing this project. A train-the-trainer approach was used whereby stakeholder partners from nine AOM sites participated in Photovoice, learning to facilitate workshops in their communities. Their outputs provide valuable insights into “’what transformation in YMH looks like” to these diverse stakeholders.
This workshop will be facilitated by two peer-researchers, one youth and one family member. It will be an experiential workshop providing participants with an opportunity to partake in a mock Photovoice project. Discussion will focus on peer-involved arts-based methods and their value in addressing power imbalances and promoting genuine engagement.

We know it can be hard to cope with everything that “growing up” throws at us, we’ve been there. Exacerbating this, young people now face being physically separated from important people in their support system.
Partnering with Alberta Health Services and University of Alberta Clinical Professor and Principal Investigator, Dr Vincent Agyapong, AB-IYSI is launching MoreGooDays, an innovative program to try and alleviate these struggles. MoreGoodDays is a daily dose of inspiration and advice delivered to users’ phones via text message. It is an evidence-based, evidence-generating tool proven to be helpful in developing healthy coping skills and resiliency.
In Phase 1, messages were written by mental health clinicians and polished by young people from Alberta. We are gearing up for Phase 2 — featuring messages created by young people, for young people and vetted by clinicians. MoreGoodDays is a small but important first step to help young people have more good days.
CONCURRENT SESSION BLOCK 9B
Theme: Substance Use and Vocational Supports
Opioid use treatments for young people have been traditionally based on adult-oriented models. What do you think was learned when we asked young people, their families, and service providers to re-imagine these services based on youths’ needs?
This symposium will share key learnings from the Improving Treatment Together Project, a two-phase community-based participatory study that is applying co-design methods to inform the development and implementation of youth-centred opioid use service interventions.
Phase 1 engaged youth, parents/caregivers, and service providers in nine separate workshops in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, and Prince George. Findings will be shared from the ‘Discovery’ and ‘Design’ workshop sessions focusing on participants’ experiences and needs in opioid treatment services. Subsequently, youths’ co-developed ideas for improving treatment experiences and outcomes will be presented. This symposium will stimulate critical health services and policy-related discussions about solutions to improve the quality of opioid treatment services for youth.

Theme: Harm Reduction and Substance Use
Head & Hands is a nonprofit organization that strives to promote the physical and mental wellbeing of youth. Our approach is preventive, inclusive, non-judgmental, and holistic. We are committed to providing a supportive environment for youth experiencing marginalization(s). In this symposium, we want to touch particularly on a harm reduction approach to drug education for youth.
Most drug education is abstinence-only / abstinence focused. We approach it differently: We know that youth use drugs and that drug use is ordinary (not immoral, aberrant, or unusual). Our workshops provide information about safer substance use and encourage participants to examine the mythology and stigma associated with substance use.
Given the context of the overdose crisis, it is especially important to equip youth to make informed decisions about their substance use. We want to encourage others who work with youth to consider their approach to discussing drug education.

The Experience Project aims to inform Foundry’s substance use integrated service model for youth and young adults by asking youth and peer support workers what is important to them. This project utilizes an innovative youth engagement framework co-developed with youth for youth, to ensure that the voices of youth with lived experience are centered throughout the project. The overall intention of the project is to develop new content for Foundry’s youth peer support curriculum and improve substance use services for youth and young adults.
This presentation will explore the co-development of a youth engagement framework for Foundry’s research activities, our process for acquiring and responding to feedback from youth, as well as our youth engagement evaluation methods and findings. It will conclude by discussing lessons learned and the impact of empowering young people to be leaders in research and a central voice in informing their health services.

Provincial Addiction and Mental Health portfolio within Alberta Health Services has created a provincial council for youth who have lived experience with addiction and/or mental health issues. This council is called YAMH PAC (Youth Addiction and Mental Health Provincial Advisory Council) where the youth serve as advisors to share their voice on matters related to addiction and mental health. The youth advisors also have the opportunity to facilitate conversations with their peers and take the lead at council meetings. Professional development, mentorship and skill-building are just some of the benefits young advisors have shared as positive benefits for their involvement with YAMH PAC. Involvement in ad-hoc meetings and consultations have also led to opportunities for youth to engage in research projects and paid opportunities for sharing their lived and living experience as subject matter experts. The purpose of this workshop is to showcase how youth take the lead and provide insight on what it takes to become successful youth facilitators

Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) was created to address gaps in the youth service system in Ontario. The provincial family advisory council’s goal is to embed family voice within the YWHO initiative and to support local YWHO hubs with their family engagement efforts. The PFAC is in the process of creating a set of guiding documents, resources and/or supports for local hubs to embed family voice within their hubs. As family members who have experience assisting their children or youth to access the Ontario mental health care system, they want to ensure that these guiding documents reflect the perspectives of families and youth.
This workshop will briefly outline the process of how a provincial family advisory is supporting local hub efforts, and will showcase a list of guiding documents/resources that are being developed to do so. Participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback and input, and to offer their own experiences on how they embed family voice within their own integrated youth service.
