SESSION SPEAKERS



Vikki Reynolds PhD RCC

Vicarious Resistance: Inspiring HOPE as an Ethical Position

Vikki will differentiate vicarious trauma & burn out from the spiritual and ethical pain that our work engenders when we are unable to provide dignity and social justice for the people we want to be useful too.


First Responder Health: Maintaining Well-Being During the Overdose Crisis

First Responders represent a unique segment of the population. These professionals routinely engage in emergency situations that overwhelm and even traumatize most civilians. This behavioural response is a trained reaction that is attractive to certain personality types, but counters the evolutionary nature of human brain development.

In this presentation we will examine the unique psychological challenges facing first responders and what can be done to sustain a healthy existence.


David Burns, IAFF1271

First Responders – Psychological Hazards

The Surrey Fire Service identified many years ago that providing mental health support to members was critical to maintaining a healthy workforce. We developed a peer support program and implemented a CISM team to help members assist with their exposures to traumatic incidents. For many years this program has been very effective, but the loss of three members within a three month period strained the ability of our members to cope with the emotion of these events.



Dr. Christina Basedow

Enhancing Recovery Capital Through Trauma-Based Treatment

The clinical issue of trauma is pervasive in substance use populations. The Concurrent Trauma and Addiction Program (CTAP) is designed for members of the Canadian Forces Veterans Affairs Canada, the RCMP, and First Responders with concurrent symptoms of PTSD and operational stress injury along with SUD.




Dr. Cornelia Wieman

First Nations Perspective on Health and Wellness and Recovery Capital

The construct of “recovery capital” and its’ four components is consistent with the FN Perspective on Health and Wellness and there may be value in exploring similar themes between the two, for the benefit of both populations.




Linda Lane Devlin

Family can be your asset for adherence to treatment

Understanding the necessary steps to heal for the individual and the family, navigating the system of health care is supported.




Dr. Raju Hajela

Recovery Capital in Acute and Chronic Pain Management with or without Addiction.

Comprehensive assessment and treatment approaches for the treatment of acute Pain, Addiction and Chronic Pain with or without Addiction






Dr. Kenneth Tupper

Psychedelic Medicine: Innovative Pathways to Recovery from Addiction

There are many paths to a life of recovery from addiction. One of the more promising of these may be the supervised use of psychedelic drugs or plants.




Dr. Catherine Hajnal


Acknowledging Losses: Supporting Healthy Grieving in Addiction and Recovery


In order to better support those in recovery, it is essential to understand what healthy grieving is and as part of that, what constitutes a loss.

and Kevin Diakiw

COMMUNITY FOCUS, 3 HOUR WORKSHOP


Dr. Julian Somers

Recovery Capital: When Wealth and Poverty Have the Same Price

Many people receive addiction treatment only when their lives have become complicated by other challenges, including involvement with the law, loss of housing and employment, or mental illness. This talk examines research on the life trajectories of people who experience complex addictions. It also reviews evidence concerning interventions and considers how the concept of recovery capital can explain why some interventions are more effective than others.

Jessica Cooksey

Recovery Capital: Modeling Person-centered Approaches

There is a growing recognition that there are many pathways of recovery. This presentation explores the barriers and facilitators to recovery capital. Presenters provide a lens to identify distinct areas that can be enhanced and barriers to be addressed in individuals’ recovery processes.

Three distinct community services present person-centered approaches to strengthening recovery capital.

-Louise Cooksey, Last Door Recovery Society

-Susan Hogarth, Westminster House
-Keir Macdonald, Lookout Society
