SUMMARY:Increasing commodification of life's time? Subjective life expectancy and intention to retire in two Danish cohorts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Institute for Life Course & Aging’s 2023-2024 Seminar Series \n\nIN PERSON: Room 422\, 246 Bloor St. West\nONLINE: Click here to view the event on October 19\, from 1:00 to 2:00pm via zoom \n\nAbout the lecture\nThis talk will explore the idea of increasing commodification of time and how that may change people’s experience and perception of time in life. Using data from the Danish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (years 2012 and 2017)\, Dr. Siren will present an empirical analysis of the association between subjective life expectancy and people’s intention to retire in two Danish cohorts (born in 1960 and 1965). The analysis shows that the association between subjective life expectancy and intention to retire has intensified over time (i.e. from the one cohort to another)\, and a decomposition analysis confirms that people’s estimate of their personal time left now explains a larger proportion of intended retirement behavior than before. \nAbout the featured speaker\nAnu Siren is Professor and Chair of Gerontology at Tampere University\, Finland. Her research interests are related to the institutional\, cultural and material contexts of late life and the way these interact with the individual experience of ageing. Her research deals with various social gerontological topics\, including senior co-housing\, digitalization of services in ageing society\, the role of family relations in late life\, and the needs and preferences of future older adults. She is currently interested in exploring the perceptions and lived experiences of time\, and the ways in which the societal and individual perceptions of time shape the lives of older adults. Since earning her Ph.D. in 2005 in Finland\, Anu worked for 15 years in Denmark\, and among other things was responsible for managing the Danish Longitudinal Survey of Ageing (collected since 1997)\, until joining Tampere University as Professor of Gerontology in spring 2021.

SUMMARY:Janis Rotman Distinguished Lecture Series On Mental Wellness: Lessons Learned From Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk on mental wellness by Dr. Paula David entitled “Lessons Learned From Holocaust Survivors: Antisemitism\, intergenerational trauma\, and caring for survivors of oppression\, genocide\, and extreme trauma in a post-Holocaust world.” \nWhen: Thursday\, October 19th | 7:00pm – 8:30pm\nWhere: Online via Zoom webinar. A zoom webinar link will be sent to all registrants in advance of the event. \n> Register here\n\nAbout this event:\nThe Janis Rotman Distinguished Lecture Series On Mental Wellness presents an annual keynote address by a leading researcher\, practitioner or educator on topics such as innovations in culturally-attuned mental health services\, social work’s role in addressing widening mental health disparities\, the impact of community-based care\, and other contemporary concerns at the intersection of social work and mental health. \nWe’d like to thank Janis Rotman for her generous support of FIFSW’s Talk It Out Online Counselling Clinic\, which inspired the launch of this series. \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr. Paula David (MSW\, PhD) has enjoyed a long career working with aging Holocaust Survivors\, their families and survivors of subsequent genocides. Based on both her fieldwork and research\, she now shares her experience and unique trauma-informed approaches with students of all ages\, teachers\, health professionals\, isolated families\, various trauma and genocide survivors\, First Nations families and those who care for them. Her many publications on caring for aging survivors and their caregivers have been translated into several languages and they continue to inform professional practice today. \nA graduate of FIFSW’s MSW and PhD programs\, Paula has been active in the social work profession for almost five decades. After retiring from the Baycrest Centre\, she then began her second career as an educator at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, teaching full time across the Faculty’s Master of Social Work program for four years until retiring again. Paula is currently a frequent guest lecturer\, consultant and curriculum developer on the topic of caring for aging Holocaust survivors\, and those who have survived subsequent wars\, genocide and extreme trauma. Most recently she has been involved in cross-cultural post-memory creative initiatives that integrate her rich experience in the areas of mental health and trauma.  \nAbout the Talk:\nThere is a critical need to develop culturally-attuned mental health care that is responsive to the diverse needs and lived experiences of Jewish people\, their families and communities. At the same time\, trauma-informed care is becoming increasingly common and necessary practice for many communities and individuals in today’s world. \nHolocaust survivors\, in sharing their personal testimonies\, have left us a legacy of insight and understanding that can inform approaches to mental health practice — not only for the Jewish community\, but all communities who experience racialized\, ethnic and religious oppression. \nThis presentation will explore how our understanding of intergenerational trauma\, post-traumatic stress disorders\, and care for survivors of genocide and extreme trauma has evolved in our post-Holocaust world. The talk will also discuss the effects of antisemitism both past and present\, and its pervasive and growing presence in contemporary times. \n> Register here\nRecording:\nA recording will be shared with all newsletter subscribers after the lecture. If you aren’t already a subscriber\, please subscribe to FIFSW’s newsletter here.

SUMMARY:Risk and Protective Factors for Elder Abuse in Canada: Findings from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Risk and Protective Factors for Elder Abuse in Canada: Findings from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging\n>Register here\nDescription\nThe development of effective elder abuse prevention efforts requires a sound understanding of the risk and protective factors that increase or decrease the likelihood of victimization. Extending previous research\, the current study used data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging – a population-based cohort study – to identify elder abuse risk and protective factors. We used baseline (2015) characteristics or changes in characteristics over a three-year period to predict the prevalence and severity of both overall elder abuse and separate subtypes (emotional abuse\, physical abuse\, financial abuse) at follow-up (2018). Findings indicate that elder abuse is widespread: one out of every ten older adults reports experiencing some type of elder abuse each year. Abuse disproportionately impacts older adults living with or developing vulnerabilities over time related to physical health\, functional capacity\, cognitive capacity\, and/or mental health. On the other hand\, various forms of social support serve to protect older adults from elder abuse\, including engagement with in-person or online social networks. Findings also point to a life course component: respondents reporting experiences of childhood maltreatment were more likely to report elder abuse in older adulthood. Findings can be used to help inform urgently needed prevention efforts. \nSpeaker\nDr. David Burnes\, professor at the University of Toronto\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, holds a Canada Research Chair on Older Adult Mistreatment Prevention. He completed a PhD at Columbia University School of Social\, concentrating in gerontology and advanced practice. Dr. Burnes’ program of research focuses on elder mistreatment\, including the development of basic knowledge (risk factors\, prevalence\, severity) and the design\, evaluation\, and measurement of interventions to prevent and respond to elder mistreatment. He advises major international organizations on elder mistreatment\, such as the World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health\, as well as federal and regional governments in Canada and the United States. Dr. Burnes also works with non-profit organizations\, such as state-level adult protective services programs\, on the development\, implementation and measurement of elder mistreatment response and prevention programs. Dr. Burnes and colleagues developed RISE\, an evidence-based\, community-based elder mistreatment response program that works in partnership with other systems to respond to cases involving older adults who are at risk of or experiencing elder mistreatment or self-neglect. His interest in elder mistreatment stems from both family experience and clinical practice with older adults.

SUMMARY:Denouncing the Continued Overrepresentation of First Nations Children in Canadian Child Welfare: Findings from the First Nations/Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect-2019
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next lecture in the 2023-2024 Alumni Series\, presented by the FIFSW Alumni Association\, where we will be joined by Dr. Barbara Fallon\, Dr. Jeffrey Schiffer and Tara Petti in a talk titled\, “Denouncing the Continued Overrepresentation of First Nations Children in Canadian Child Welfare: Findings from the First Nations/Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect-2019.” \nAlumni\, students\, faculty and members of the public are all welcome to attend. \nWhen: Monday\, October 30\, 2023 | 6:30PM – 8:00PM ET\nWhere: Online (Zoom) \nRegister for the event here \nAbout the talk \nTogether\, Dr. Barbara Fallon\, Dr. Jeffrey Schiffer and Tara Petti will present findings from The First Nations/Ontario Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (FN/OIS-2018) and The First Nations/Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (FN/CIS-2019). These studies are a collaborative effort by the FN/OIS and FN/CIS research teams\, the First Nations Advisory Committees and child welfare workers. The studies report provincial and 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 Ontario in 2018\, First Nations children were 7 times more likely than non-Indigenous children. Across Canada 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 reports are available on the Canadian Child Welfare Research Portal (FN/OIS and FN/CIS). \nAbout the speakers \nDr. Barbara Fallon is the Associate Vice-President\, Research for the University of Toronto and a Professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work. Dr. Fallon also holds a Canada Research Chair in Child Welfare. She is an Adjoint Professor at the Kempe Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect\, University of Colorado School of Medicine and at The Hospital for Sick Children. Dr. Fallon’s research interests include comparisons of child protection systems\, the disproportional and disparate representation of racialized groups within the child welfare system\, and the contribution of worker and organizational characteristics to child-welfare decision making. \nDr. Jeffrey Schiffer is a cultural anthropologist\, human services leader and child advocate who was born in Vancouver\, BC- on unceded Coast Salish Territory. He grew up at the intersection of mainstream and Indigenous organizations and has worked in the post-secondary\, public service\, and non-profit sectors. Like so many of the community members serviced by NCFST\, Jeff’s maternal family history is fractured by Canada’s shared colonial history: he is not a status Indian or formal member of a First Nations\, Métis or Inuit Community\, but his maternal family includes the Turcotte\, Lemire\, Piquette\, and Fortin families – all of whom travelled along Métis voyageur trade routes and road allowances in a multi-generational journey from Quebec\, into the Dakotas\, and through Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Jeff self-identifies as a Canadian with European and Indigenous ancestors. Jeff is passionate about building integrated and coordinated systems of human services that focus on the safety\, health\, wellbeing\, and prosperity of children. His dissertation focused on decolonizing Indigenous child welfare in Canadian cities. Over the past 15 years he has held various positions at the Earth Institute at Columbia University\, Vancouver Aboriginal Child and Family Services Society\, the Justice Institute of British Columbia\, the City of Toronto\, and Native Child and Family Services of Toronto.  Jeff is currently the Director of Governance and Strategy at NCFST and volunteers his time serving on a number of board and committees. \nTara Petti was a member of The First Nations/Canadian Incidence Study Of Reported Child Abuse And Neglect-2019 Advisory Committee/Research Team.
