This seminar will present evidence on trends in the prevalence of child and youth mental illness and suicidality, and review recent research on health promotion strategies to reduce the burden associated with mental health. This will include discussion on whether making healthy behaviour changes such as making a child’s diet more healthy, improving parenting behaviours, or making efforts to build social support for a child could have a beneficial impact on a child’s mental health. Strategies like these can complement clinical management approaches, and give families ideas on how they may be able to be part of the informal treatment team.

Using Tension-Based Practice to Promote Recovery-Orientation in the Inpatient Context
Although most attention has been directed to the development of recovery oriented mental health services in the community, a mental health inpatient hospitalization can also be designed and implemented to be experienced as recovery promoting. The purpose of this webinar is to introduce participants to an evidence-informed approach to delivering and strengthening recovery-oriented practice in inpatient settings. The approach includes an in-patient specific recovery competency framework, assessment of the inpatient context, and a strengths-based approach to transfer recovery knowledge into daily practice and to enable interprofessional problem solving to address dilemmas frequently experienced in practice.
