Our Canadian healthcare system continues to focus on physical needs versus mental health. Community health and social care providers are well-positioned to talk about mental health with their clients but lack support and training to do so. This presentation discusses how the Mental Health Conversations study is engaging Canadian care providers and older adults in workshops and surveys to co-design tools and approaches to facilitate mental health conversations in community care settings.

Brain injury (BI) due to intimate partner violence (IPV) is a under-recognized but remarkably common occurrence primarily affecting women and sex- and gender-minority individuals. This presentation discusses recent research taking place at UBCO and elsewhere examining the impact of IPV-BI on brain function and how the systems put in place to support survivors can be improved by taking BI into account.
