SUMMARY:In-person Presentation by Dr Barabara Fallon -  Child Welfare Investigations Involving First Nations and Non-Indigenous Children
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Barbara Fallon will be presenting a study on “Child Welfare Investigations Involving First Nations and Non-Indigenous Children” \nDr. Fallon is the Scientific Director of The First Nations/Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (FN/CIS-2019). The study is a collaborative effort by the FN/CIS research team\, the First Nations Advisory Committee and child welfare workers. The study reports national-level data on investigations involving First Nations children compared to non-Indigenous children as intended by the Truth & Reconciliation’s Calls to Action. In 2019\, disparities between rates of child welfare service dispositions for First Nations and non-Indigenous children grew with every decision across the service continuum\, concluding with First Nations children being 17.2 times more likely than non-Indigenous children to be placed in formal out-of-home care. The final report is available on the Canadian Child Welfare Research Portal here: \n

SUMMARY:Making Black Lives Matter: Three Films about Systems Change
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere are systems -criminal justice\, social assistance\, political representation -that aren’t working for children\, youth\, families\, and communities across Canada. But when these systems seem so big\, so powerful\, how can we as young people and emerging social workers make a difference? \nThis event will showcase three documentaries that profile different approaches to influencing systemic change\, by\, with\, and for Black individuals and communities. Some are grassroots\, while others work within the system. What we hope to learn is that there is no right answer…and no wrong answer to enactingmeaningful change. \nYou are invited to join us for a special film-screening event\, moderated by representatives of the Youth Wellness Lab and the Black Social Work Student Association. Three films will be showcased — Nourrir Les Rêves\, Mending a Crack in the Sky\, Body Politics — followed by a unique opportunity to engage in discussion with the film-makers. These films were made possible by Hot Docs’ Citizen Minutes Project. \nHot Docs is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing and celebrating the art of documentary and creating production opportunities for documentary filmmakers. \nRegistration is limited so reserve your spot today! \n> Click here to register for this virtual event \nZoom details will be sent following registration. \nQuestions? Please contact Dr. Stephanie Begun at Stephanie.begun@utoronto.ca. \nFilms\nBody Politics\nIn a fatphobic image-conscious world\, educator\, activist and eccentric cat-lady-turned-politician Dr. Jill Andrew takes her fight for body justice\, human rights\, representation\, access and equity to the legislature as the first queer Black person elected as a member of provincial parliament. Here’s a glimpse into a 40 year story of becoming told through the eyes of her filmmaking partner…Don’t blink!  \nMending a Crack in the Sky\nShamso Mohamoud and Shamso Elmi both lost their sons to violence and watched their alleged killers walk free without so much as a legal prosecution. Now\, the two Somali-Canadian mothers have organized a group “Mending a Crack in the Sky” to collectively combat gun violence and hardship while facing cultural and racial barriers.  \nNourrir Les Rêves\nIn 2007\, Lasallien Center opened their doors in St-Michel—one of the most disadvantaged boroughs on the island of Montreal. Meet Paul Evra\, the young altruistic director who grew up there and is leading the center and their mission to help feed the numerous families in the area who are food insecure.

SUMMARY:Silos and Silences: Shedding Light on Child Welfare and Immigration Status
DESCRIPTION:2:00 – 5:00pm EST / 11:00 – 2:00pm PST\nFormat: Virtual\, via Zoom. \n> Click here to register\n\nAbout Border(ing) Practices: Systemic Racism\, Immigration and Child Welfare\nThe Border(ing) Practices: Systemic Racism\, Immigration and Child Welfare is a collaborative research project based at the University of Toronto and University of Victoria working in partnership with child welfare\, immigration\, and gender-based violence service providers and advocates in Ontario and British Columbia. Our research aims to understand how immigration policies in concert with systemic racism\, shape child welfare policies and practices with children\, youth and families.  \nAbout the Forum\nThe Bordering Practices research project invites you to join us for panel and discussion and workshops that explore how the child welfare systems works with immigrant youth and families in Ontario and British Columbia  \nThe forum will feature a panel discussion among leaders working to address anti-Black racism in child welfare\, gender-based violence services for immigrants\, and legal immigration services for children and youth. Participants will also be invited to join interactive workshops to explore how precarious status impacts their work with immigrant families who are involve in the child welfare system.  \nSocial work students\, practitioners\, and people working to support immigrant families are welcome to join this forum to learn and share ideas on how intersecting systemic issues impact newcomers\, refugees\, and non-status immigrants who are involved in child welfare system and discuss calls to action to improve policy and practice.   \nPanel Speakers:\nModerated. by Keishia Facey\, Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies \n\nTravonne Edwards\, University of Toronto & Black Community Action Network\, Peel\, ON\nMary Birdsell\, Justice for Children and Youth\, Toronto\, ON\nShaoli Choudhry\, YWCA Vancouver\, BC\nMonica Larios\, Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants\, Peer Champion \n\nWorkshops\nWorkshop 1: Duty To Report for Immigrant Service Organizations  \nFacilitated by: Shaoli Choudhry\, YWCA Vancouver  \nThis workshop will unpack and address the barriers and constraints for workers in gender-based violence sectors when supporting victims of gender-based violence with precarious immigration status. These workshops will explore barriers such as the fear of duty to report\, worker accountability and how workers safeguard the immigration status of women when there is a likelihood of child welfare involvement.  \nWorkshop 2: Social Invisibility of Immigration Status in Child Welfare Policies in British Columbia & Ontario  \nFacilitated by: Mandeep Kaur Mucina\, University of Victoria\, Manvinder Gill\, University of Toronto  \nThis workshop will present findings from a discourse analysis of provincial and organizational child welfare policy documents that inform the assessment of risk for child abuse or neglect in Ontario and British Columbia. We invite discussion on how our analysis might inform anti-racist approaches within areas of discretionary practice within child welfare systems\, but also among support workers who are mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect.  \nWorkshop 3: Intersections: Child Rights\, Immigration and Child Welfare \nFacilitated by: Mary Birdsell from Justice for Children and Youth and Khaldah Salih from The Black Legal Action Centre. \nThis workshop will explore how to identify when immigration status is a barrier for children and youth who are accessing services\, and how to legally advocate for children and youth experiencing systemic racism when applying for immigration status.  \nWorkshop 4: Understanding Risk Assessments for Black Immigrant Families  \nFacilitated by: Chizara Anucha\, Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies \, Bilqees Mohamed\, University of Toronto  \nThis workshop addresses the need for an anti-Black racism lens when conducting child welfare assessments for Black immigrant families experiencing socio-economic barriers. Using a transnational lens\, this workshop critically examines how late-stage migration impacts relationships amongst Black immigrant parents and children. Cultural expectations such as remittances (sending money to support family members in home country) and economic status will also be considered in the context of risk assessments.  \n

SUMMARY:Social Workers on the Frontline of the Echo Pandemic in Family Law: Enhancing Children’s Voices\, Safety and Wellbeing\, with Michael Saini
DESCRIPTION:Alumni\, students\, faculty and members of the public are invited to the next lecture in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work Alumni Association’s 2021-2022 Alumni Series.  \nWe will be joined by Professor Michael Saini in his talk titled\, “Social Workers on the Frontline of the Echo Pandemic in Family Law: Enhancing Children’s Voices\, Safety and Wellbeing.” \nDate: Monday\, March 7\, 2022 \nTime: 6:30pm—8:00pm EST \nLocation: Zoom \nRegister here \nAll are welcome to attend. \nAbout the talk: \nDue in part to COVID-19’s mitigation strategies (shelter in place\, social isolation\, etc.) and resulting effects (higher rates of family breakdown\, intimate partner violence\, child abuse\, mental health issues\, financial stresses\, etc.)\, family courts are overwhelmed with backlogs\, long delays and a diminished capacity to provide access to justice.  This echo pandemic in family law necessitates social workers to be active agents to assist families transitioning out of the Covid-19 global pandemic.  In this presentation \, the role of social work in family law will be highlighted as we take on child-centred\, innovative and differential approaches to respond to the increased pressures on family court services\, to improve access to justice\, and to harness our collective strength to help navigate families through this crisis. \nProfessor Saini’s lecture will be followed by an opportunity for questions. As this event will be recorded\, questions that are general in nature (rather than case-specific) are welcomed.  \nAbout Professor Michael Saini \nMichael Saini is a Professor\, holds the endowed Factor-Inwentash Chair in Law and Social Work\, and is the Co-Director of the Combined J.D. and M.S.W. program with the Law Faculty at the University of Toronto.

Gain a deeper understanding of the distinct barriers these communities face\, learn more about available income supports and how clients can access them\, and understand how our legal system can be leveraged to secure needed income support for racialized populations facing mental and physical health challenges.

SUMMARY:What Elder Wisdom Can Teach Us: Insights from the Cornell Legacy Project\, with Karl A. Pillemer
DESCRIPTION:The 24th Distinguished Wilson Abernethy Lecture\nPresented by the Institute for Life Course & Aging \n\n\n\n> Click here for the Zoom link \nCan our elders serve as “experts” on how to live our lives? To answer this question\, Dr. Karl Pillemer\, gerontologist and Professor of Human Development at Cornell University\, decided to seek advice on how to live from the oldest Americans. In the Cornell Legacy Project\, he surveyed over 2000 elders\, asking them for their most important lessons for living – on topics like marriage\, career\, parenting\, aging\, regrets\, happiness\, and overcoming loss. In this talk\, he highlights some of the key findings from the 15-year project\, focusing on practical advice from our elders for living a happier\, healthier\, and more fulfilling life. \nKarl A. Pillemer\, Ph.D. is an internationally renowned family sociologist and gerontologist whose research examines how individuals and their families develop and change throughout their lives. An engaging presenter\, he has been interviewed by the CBC\, CBS\, and numerous other news programs. Over the past fifteen years\, he has conducted a program of research on the practical advice of older people\, exploring how elder wisdom can help younger people live more fulfilling lives. This work led to the publication of two books: 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans\, and 30 Lessons for Loving: Advice from the Wisest Americans on Love\, Relationships\, and Marriage. Most recently\, he has explored advice for dealing with difficult family problems\, leading to the book Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them. He has authored five other books and over 150 scientific publications and speaks throughout the world on issues related to aging. \nKarl Pillemer is the Hazel E. Reed Professor of Human Development at Cornell University and Professor of Gerontology in Medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College. He is also the founder and Director of the Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging

SUMMARY:AGE-WELL Webinar - From Exclusion to Inclusion: Compensation as a Best Practice in Research with Older People
DESCRIPTION:Research often overlooks larger issues about meaningful participation and disadvantage\, including for example\, how practices of not-compensating particular groups\, and/or restricting compensation as a form of control may sustain inequality.

SUMMARY:Identifying and De-Implementing Low-Value Administrative Practices in Long-Term Care
DESCRIPTION:with Lauren MacEachern\, PhD candidate\, Institute for Health Policy\, Management and Evaluation University of Toronto\nAbout the Event:\nHealthcare organizations strive to improve care quality through the implementation of evidence-based clinical practices and the de-implementation of ‘low-value’ clinical practices. This improvement mindset is common when considering clinical practices\, but our evaluation of existing administrative practices is lacking. This can lead to significant variation across healthcare organizations. The continued use of low-value administrative practices has the potential to exert profound impacts in environments where resources\, including staff and time are scarce\, such as the Canadian long-term care sector. In this presentation\, I will share preliminary findings from the thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with long-term care home decision-makers to understand (1) how ‘low-value administrative practices’ are identified and characterized and (2) how context has impacted the perceptions of what long-term care home decision-makers perceive as ‘low-value’. This research will have important contributions to how we think about and prioritize administrative tasks in this resource-scarce setting. With an understanding of how ‘low-value administrative practices’ are identified\, the next stage of this research will seek to understand the de-implementation process in long-term care settings. \nAbout Lauren MacEachern:\nLauren MacEachern is a 4th year Ph.D. candidate working under the supervision of Dr. Whitney Berta at the Institute for Health Policy\, Management and Evaluation\, University of Toronto\, and a Doctoral Trainee with the Translating Research in Elder Care program of research at the University of Alberta. She is also a trainee in the Collaborative Program in Aging\, Palliative & Supportive Care across the Life Course\, University of Toronto. Lauren received her Bachelor of Science degree in Honours Biology with a specialization in gerontology from the University of Waterloo in 2015 and Master of Arts in Family Studies and Gerontology from Mount Saint Vincent University in 2017. Lauren’s research interests are in long-term care\, implementation science\, organization and management science\, and health services research. \nThis seminar will be recorded and can be accessed within a week on our YouTube Channel under Seminars Playlist \n> Join the event via Zoom on March 31 here\nHoused at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, the University of Toronto’s Institute for Life Course & Aging (ILCA) facilitates interdisciplinary research on the biological\, psychological and social dimensions of the life course and aging; and provides graduate and post-graduate education on the life course and aging. FIFSW professor Esme Fuller-Thomson is the Institute’s director.
