Panel: A case study on heart disease

Nova Scotia College of Social Workers

Second panel discussion in the NSCSW's 2024 collaborative care series

Research shows that individuals who experience heart attacks are highly likely to experience depression and anxiety as co-occurring symptoms, and are also highly likely to benefit from interventions from allied health professionals. However, our existing treatment methods do not integrate the expertise of these professions in a standardized way.Come hear from a variety of allied health professionals about the way that their profession conceptualizes care for individuals who have experienced a heart attack or are dealing with cardiovascular disease. <h3>Collaborative care series</h3>This interdisciplinary series offers professional development and networking opportunities to support allied health professionals in co-creating better outcomes for the people and communities we serve. We are striving to raise awareness of the importance of collaborative care, and build community amongst diverse health care practitioners.Sessions will alternate between interdisciplinary panel discussions and self-care virtual lunches in which participants will be encouraged to learn from one another and connect with each other in new and transformative waysThis series is supported by a growing list of organizations from across Nova Scotia which so far includes the following:<ul><li><a href="https://apns.ca/" title="https://apns.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia</a></li><li><a href="https://www.spiritualcare.ca/" title="https://www.spiritualcare.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Canadian Association for Spiritual Care</a></li><li><a href="https://www.physiotherapyns.ca/" title="https://www.physiotherapyns.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nova Scotia Physiotherapy Association</a></li><li><a href="https://nssot.ca/" title="https://nssot.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nova Scotia Society of Occupational Therapists</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nstra.info/" title="https://www.nstra.info/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nova Scotia Therapeutic Recreation Association</a></li></ul>Learn more at <a href="https://nscsw.org/collaborative-care-pd" title="https://nscsw.org/collaborative-care-pd" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">nscsw.org/collaborative-care-pd</a>. <h3>Eligibility</h3>There are no prerequisites for this session.
