Update From the Executive of the OAATo All OAA Teams,
Were sure everyone is well into the 2009/10 fiscal year, actively tracking statistics, and meeting deadlines, while most importantly providing the high quality of rehabilitation and recovery services that ACT is known for. Your OAA continues to look forward to providing direct quality training opportunities for its members, and to financially support other training opportunities such as the upcoming Provincial Conference in April 2010, and an OAA training workshop for nursing staff in the fall of 2009. It is only through membership with the OAA that we are able to provide these opportunities to our fellow ACT professionals, so don’t forget to register for the 2009/10 year so we can continue to provide and improve upon our level of support. Registration information can be found on-line at http://www.ontarioacttassociation.com/.
Recently, the OAA held the second of the planned series of training and networking workshops for each discipline on ACT teams across the province. Twenty-two Peer Support Specialists attended a day-and-a-half of training on April 23rd and 24th in Toronto. A special thanks to all participants and to those who took the time to complete the workshop survey.
Information shared through those surveys indicated a 90% overall satisfaction rating for day one, and 98% for day two, with 81% of the participants providing feedback. Weaknesses identified areas of concern that included a need for a better facility (preferably in a hotel where out-of-town) participants can stay, and provision of lunch, snacks, and drinks.
Strengths identified positive practice with respect to the quality of presenters; provision of an opportunity to network with others; quality of information; format design, specifically with respect to encouraging dialogue and sharing of information; and the opportunity to participate openly. The participants encouraged the OAA to seek further opportunities to provide similar workshops in the future, and we will. Keep an eye on your e-mails for upcoming information on a nursing workshop in the fall, and announcement of our/your new website at the OAA.
Thank-you for your time and commitment to ACTT, its consumers, and staff. Any questions, please contact any member of the OAA.
Kind Regards the OAA Executive
Announcement – Widening the Lens on Peer Support in Sudbury and LondonLondonBellamere Event Centre 1260 Gainsborough Road London, Ontario
Event Overview: Stepping into valued life roles such as citizen, partner, teacher, friend, as well as service provider are indicators of recovery. There is a growing interest in the role of peer support as mental health services are considering how to offer service provider opportunities to their service recipients. Many of us are navigating new territory as we consider how we might engage service recipients in meaningful roles within our mental health services. A number of our neighbours locally, provincially, south of the border, and across the ocean have already set sail. We can learn from listening to their experiences. Our two-day event offers you such an opportunity. For more information and a brochure on the conference, go to www.christinegayler.com |
