Subject: National Forum on Homelessness

 

Dear Colleagues,

A national Forum regarding clinical and intervention issues with homeless persons will be held on Friday October 29th and Saturday the 30th,  2010. This Forum will invite community based organizations, public institutions, and elected representatives from all over Canada to exchange on different important themes.

A series of workshops will allow participants to identify and collectively reflect on practices that they face. Recurrent problems will then be exposed. It will be an occasion to publicize them and facilitate exchanges about the most adapted solutions regarding homelessness. We wish that at the end of the forum, participants will leave with solution tracks to resolve some difficulties encountered in their daily practices.

FORUM PROGRESS:


In an opening conference, we will discuss ethical issues faced by employees working with homeless persons.

Will follow, over two days, a series of workshops about specific challenges of intervention in homelessness. 3 panellists will be speaking in each workshop. Each panellist will be invited to share, for 15 minutes, an experience of practice or to give his or her opinion about the problematic discussed in the workshop. Then a facilitator will open the debate with the audience.

Workshops will be based on two formulas:

1.	Case studies. From a brief description illustrating a typical situation, practitioners will discuss how they understand this situation and actions they would consider. Will follow a discussion with the assembly on solution tracks of possible actions.
2.	Practice stories. Three practitioners will relate their experience linked to a particular challenge. Common and cross-cutting elements will afterward be identified by the assembly to highlight tracks of actions and most interesting solutions.

By the end of the second day, in a plenary session, a report from each workshop will be presented. Participants will then have access to what was suggested in other workshops.

Registration for this event will open in September, will we post the information up on our website.
