Our aim is to share knowledge and lay the groundwork for future collaborations. Our system treats healthcare and mental wellness as separate entities, with limited funding for the latter which hinders integrative approach to care.\r\n\r\nPost-pandemic nursing exacerbates the need to internalize witnessed trauma, leading to a disconnection from self. While nurses excel at assessing patients' physiological responses, they are often unaware of their own. Despite the importance of psychological support, many nurses under-utilize available resources, raising questions about their relevance.\r\n\r\nAs a group we will explore how clinical counselling could highlight theories relevant to nursing knowledge, ie: poly vagal theory and thereby effectively engaging nurses who may better appreciate the merits of clinical counselling.

Lifespan Integration is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach that can transform a client's life in a fraction of the time of traditional talk therapy. Lifespan Integration is a cutting-edge method that combines elements of neuroscience, psychology, and attachment theory to rapidly heal emotional wounds and promote lasting change. Unlike traditional talk therapies, Lifespan Integration works directly with the brain's natural healing processes, leveraging the brain's capacity for neuroplasticity. This powerful approach enables accelerated growth and transformation, as your client reconnects with their authentic self, releasing limiting beliefs, and establishing healthier patterns of thinking and behaving. The use if Lifespan Integration is growing quickly and is taught internationally. This presentation will help participants determine if they would like to obtain further training in this modality.\r\n\r\nLearning Objectives\r\n*Participants will learn the foundations of Lifespan Integration.

This workshop describes the treatment of frontline workers who have experienced numerous traumatic events over the course of their careers, and subsequently filed a claim with the Workers’ Compensation Board of British Columbia (BC). An interdisciplinary program involved both counselling and occupational therapy interventions, including a trauma-focused prolonged exposure therapy followed by a gradual return to work.

As the first generation that grew up with constant digital connection, as well as facing the consequences of decades of environmental degradation, today’s young adults must navigate intense pressures and strain on their mental health. A crucial aspect of the healing that so many of us need, is our relationships with the natural world. Generation Z is uniquely positioned to show us innovative paths to this healing, but they also need our support. This presentation will focus on ways mental health clinicians can address concerns with clients related to a rapidly changing natural world, and encourage a deeper relationship with nature that empowers action and the integration of complex emotions. This presentation is about building a meaningful relationship with the world around us that contributes not only to human health but planetary health as well.\r\n\r\nLearning Objectives\r\n1) Gain an understanding of terminology around this topic, and an understanding of how Generation Z is uniquely impacted by climate change and related issues.\r\n2) Tools and language for clinicians to consider their own relationships with the natural world and how these can inform clinical work and increase understanding of client experiences. This includes examples in the presentation of transformative experiences members of Gen Z have had with the natural world that have shaped them in meaningful ways, and how these may inform clinical work with this population.\r\n3) Introduction to concepts from eco-therapy that provide a framework for seeing humans as embedded within a larger ecological system and how this can facilitate greater human and planetary wellbeing.","Overview":"","Bold":true,"Tracks":[1],"SessionName":"Concurrent Session #3","TextColor":"#000000","AgendaTypeName":"Session","BackgroundColor":"#72BDBF","Location":"Regency E/F- Regency Level","Track":1,"SpanToTrack":null,"AdditionalTracks":[],"Speakers":[{"ContactId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","PresenationTitle":"Gen Z, Mental Health and Relationships with the Natural World","PresentationBio":"I completed an MA in Counselling and Spirituality in 2018.

Dr. Green spent ten years in general practice and another twelve years working exclusively in maternity and newborn care before changing her focus in 2016 to medical assistance in dying (MAiD). In her landmark transformative and compassionate memoir, Dr. Green reveals the reasons a patient might seek an assisted death, how the process works, what the event can look like, and what it feels like to oversee matters and administer medications that hasten another person’s death.

Deeply authentic and powerfully emotional, This Is Assisted Dying contextualizes the myriad of personal, professional, and practical issues surrounding assisted dying by bringing readers into the room. Dr. Green shares the voices of her patients, her colleagues, and her own narrative as she describes the extraordinary people she meets and the unusual circumstances she encounters while navigating the intricacy, intensity, and utter humanity of these powerful interactions. As our population confronts issues of wellness, integrity, agency and community, and how to live a connected, meaningful life, this progressive and compassionate book is at the forefront of medically assisted dying, offering comfort and potential relief.

Dr. Green enjoys speaking about MAiD to the public, to health care communities, and to a wide range of audiences locally, nationally, and internationally. She is an educational resource in the academic world, can speak to advocacy groups, and can discuss policy work surrounding MAiD.

She is a co-founder and the current President of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP). She is a medical advisor to the BC Ministry of Health MAiD oversight committee, a moderator of CAMAP’s national online forum, has provided expert testimony to the Canadian House of Commons and the Senate, and has hosted several national conferences on the topic of assisted dying. She is a member of the clinical faculty at both the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria.

Bergevin- In a world where information about trauma and healing is plentiful, individuals come to therapy with preconceived ideas of what is healing and what is trauma, many already self-diagnosing. Our knowledge as counsellors is rooted in research and clinical experience but is also impacted by our awareness of our own lived experience and how this awareness impacts those who come to us for help.\r\n“Please remember, it is what you are that heals, not what you know.” – Carl Jung\r\nThis plenary session will offer counsellors another view on how to assist clients in the process of recovering from severe relational trauma. As a trauma survivor, Faith brings her lived experience as a foundation for how to support clients in recovery from trauma.\r\nWhile evidence-based approaches are the de rigueur standard we adhere to – and offer techniques and tools that are useful – the fact is when we are with a client, it is a unique encounter of one human being to another, with Irvin Yalom referring to it as being “fellow travellers.” We are not our techniques. We are not evidence-based practices. We are human beings, therapists with our own lived experience, helping someone else with their lived experience. Our clinical practice is not only based in science and research, but also an art in how we relate to the individual in front of us. Counselling is both an art and science.\r\nAs a survivor of rape that happened four years ago while a student, Faith learned what it means to survive a severe traumatic event and live through the various “stages” of the trauma response and what it takes to come through it, to “heal” if you will. Carl Jung spoke of the idea of using our knowledge of our own pain years ago when he addressed the concept of the “wounded healer.” When a traumatic event occurs, many have described the experience as being broken into pieces. Judith Herman offered the trauma recovery model - safety, working through, and re-connection - as stages of healing. Faith focuses her work on helping to integrate the pieces that remain to be reconnected for those in recovery from adversity and trauma.

\r\n\r\nMs. Lily Rogers- This interactive presentation will explore how creativity, counselling support, and research methods can be used in collaboration to create meaningful change. Through looking at three creative engagements, we will explore how we have partnered with counsellors in different capacities to explore the wants, needs, and experiences of young adults (aged 15-39) with lived experience of cancer. Due to worse treatment outcomes, implicit racism in the health care system, and a lack of representation, we will also specifically present how we engaged with racialized individuals in this way in a way that is culturally safe and trauma-informed. In working with counsellors, our research team is looking to share how this partnership creates a novel approach that not only advances research, but provides healing opportunities for participants.

\r\n\r\nMr. Kev Kokoska- Growing up, a member of my family was incarcerated in a Canadian federal prison. As a boy, this broke my 'black-and-white' worldview. To know a “good guy” who was also a “bad guy” meant that everyone must have the capacity for both.\r\nWhen I became a clinical counsellor, I knew I wanted to offer pro bono services to incarcerated people. What I didn't know was how hard that would be, how many other disciplines and complex systems I'd have to learn to interact with, and how much I'd learn about myself and my family history along the way.\r\nSeven years later, I now have access to provide external complex trauma therapy treatment to a select number of incarcerated people, provincially and federally. To my knowledge, I am the only person in Canada with this access (though I hope to change that during my PhD, and sharing my work at your conference would be a big step in that direction). This therapy is not mandated. These individuals want to do the work, they crave safe relationships, and they are screaming for consistent, external support.

\r\nMs. Alia Mai- In this presentation, we will begin by defining internalized racism, what the experience feels like, and the impacts it may have. We will then explore how internalized racism shows up as oppressive towards oneself using case examples. We will remark on how race and culture may become invisible when working with a therapist who is not from a racialized background and does not have lived experiences of racism. Finally, acknowledging that this is only scraping the surface of this topic and there is so much more to be learnt and said about it. As well as acknowledging there are no certain answers to this struggle, but it is vital to raise the questions so that we can continue to heal and grow

\r\n\r\nMs. Nancy Lin- This lightning talk will discuss whom we as a society deem worthy of achieving psychosocial wellness. Specifically, this talk will discuss how people with brain injury have been denied access to mental health care because many people have long assumed that they are simply not capable of participating in treatment. Through describing the results of a scoping review that investigated the nature and breadth of this exclusion, participants will learn how brain injury impacts clients’ fulsome participation in treatment, and explore possibilities for facilitating inclusionary practices. As the leading cause of disability worldwide, mental health practitioners can expect to serve clients with brain injury at some point in their practice. Brain injury’s intersection with public health priorities such as substance use overdose adds to the timeliness of this issue. This talk serves as a call to action for equitable access to mental health for all people, regardless of ability.
