The Canadian Research Network for Care in the Community (CRNCC) & the Children and Youth Home Care Network (CYHN), funded by SickKids Foundation
Present a Full-Day Symposium
Caring for Children, Youth and Families in Home and Community: Innovations and Best Practices from Across Canada
With keynote speaker
Mary Jo Haddad, President and CEO, The Hospital for Sick Children
February 20, 2007
George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre
Ryerson University – Toronto, ON
Across Canada, the number of children, youth and their families with acute and continuing care needs in home and community is growing at a rapid pace. Technological changes and health system restructuring initiatives mean that more children, with more complex needs, will require care “closer to home.” Yet, recognition of this growing need has been slow at the policy level, and there has been little sharing of innovations and best practices at local, regional and national levels about how the needs of children, youth and their families in home and community can best be met.
This symposium will showcase leading experts from across Canada who will share their ideas and strategies for caring for children, youth and families in home and community during a period of rapid change and growing challenges.
If you are a provider, consumer or policy-maker involved in home and community care for children and youth, you will not want to miss this opportunity!
