  • Field of Dreams: Strengthening Health Policy Scholarship in Canada
    Field of Dreams: Strengthening Health Policy Scholarship in Canada Symposium Summary Document June 2008 McMaster University Preface On November 2, 2007 CHEPA hosted an invitational symposium to reflect on the field of health policy in the Canadian context and to develop an action plan for strengthening it in the future. Thirty-five participants from across Canada attended the symposium, as well as two invited international speakers from the United States and the United Kingdom. The group comprised a mix of health policy educators and researchers, university Deans and graduate students, and current and former health policymakers. A background paper was circulated in advance of the meeting and is available from CHEPA upon request. Over the course of the one-day meeting, participants began a dialogue that covered the following topics: • Broad reflections on the evolution of the scholarly field of health policy in Canada and other jurisdictions; • Identification of major scholarly and applied contributions to health policy discourse; • Exploration of the field’s unrealized potential and areas requiring future attention; and • Specification of the basic building blocks for producing an action plan to strengthen Canada’s health policy research capacity and infrastructure. Several invited speakers catalysed discussion by offering reflections on international and Canadian health policy scholarship and practice. The morning plenary sessions informed small group discussions held in the afternoon to identify the supports required in the areas of research, education and community building and exchange to strengthen Canadian health policy scholarship. Each group was given a set of questions to address (Appendix 1) and reported back to the full symposium on their deliberations and concrete action items for carry forward following the symposium.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    streetohome.org A message from the Chair and CEO of Streetohome Foundation 2015 was a momentous year for the Streetohome Foundation. In all, Streetohome granted more than $12 million in funding - more than all previous years combined since our inception in 2008. Five new building projects provide supportive housing for adults and youth with mental health issues (The Kettle on Burrard); adults with mental health and addictions (Taylor Manor); Aboriginal adults and youth (Kwayasut); adults with more severe mental health and addictions challenges (111 Princess); and woman-led families and their children (The Budzey). In total, there will be 582 units of supportive housing that will provide homes for almost 650 vulnerable individuals. This impact would not have been possible without the generosity of our donors and the significant contributions from our partners, the City and the Province. When you add in the Vancouver Rent Bank (which provides short-term loans for those facing eviction or utility cut-off), Streetohome’s 2 Streetohome Annual Report impact is even greater this year having also prevented homelessness for 223 individuals, including 70 children. 2015 marked a shift for Streetohome, from what has essentially been a strong focus on leveraging supportive housing units in partnership with the Province and City, to Goal 2 in our 10-Year Plan for Vancouver. This involves developing a comprehensive approach to homelessness prevention that includes breaking the cycle of homelessness and helping individuals thrive. Work is underway to better understand the flow of individuals, from living on the street or residing in shelters, to living in supportive housing and ultimately moving on with their lives in terms of achieving their housing, employment and addiction recovery goals.

Borins, Departmental Members (School of Public Administration) Dr. Carol E. Harris, Outside Member (Educational Psychology and Leadership Studies) This study of public service reform examined how the Liberal BC government attempted to convince public servants to adopt private sector-type work values (referred to in this study as contemporary values). To accomplish this goal, government top advisers designed a change management program for senior managers known as Public Service Renewal. The research problem was framed as a special case of change management to investigate what until now have been unanswered questions on the adoption of new, contemporary work values in the public service.

Department of Psychology, School of Psychology, Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch, Roudehen, Iran. Article info: A B S T R A C T Received: 10 Aug. 2013 Accepted: 25 Jan. 2014 Objective: Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) or fundamental beliefs that underpin stable and trait-like psychological disorders are chronic and relapsing. In, active schemas in dysthymic patients with major depression have been compared with healthy individuals.The purpose of this study was to compare early maladaptive schemas (Young, 2003, 1990) in dysthymic patients with major depression and healthy subjects. Methods: For this study, 46 patients with major depression and 20 non-hospitalized patients with dysthymic during the year who referred to medical centers and clinics in Kermanshah (a city in West of Iran) were selected through structured interviews and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and 66 patients with mild problems who referred to the clinic were considered as control group. 15 early maladaptive schemas through Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF) were measured. Results: Analysis of variance showed that maladaptive schemas was different in the three groups. Maladaptive schemas of emotional deprivation, social isolation, defectiveness/ shame, and failure in patients with dysthymic, and maladaptive schemas of Self-sacrifice, and unrelenting standards/ hypercriticalness, entitlement/grandiosity, were active in patients with major depression. Healthy people were not active in any schema incompatibility. Maladaptive schemas in patients with dysthymic were more than the other two groups.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report January 7, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need to win Nanaimo to continue the government. It’s that simple.” Premier John Horgan nods to the significance of the upcoming by-election during NDP ​ ​ ​ ​ candidate Sheila Malcolmson’s campaign launch in Nanaimo Saturday. ​ ​ Today in B.C. On the schedule The House is adjourned for the winter break. MLAs are scheduled to return to the House on February 12 for the delivery of the government’s throne speech. Parties kick off Nanaimo by-election campaigns Former NDP MLA Leonard Krog, now mayor of Nanaimo, joined Premier John Horgan to ​ ​ ​ ​ launch former NDP MP Sheila Malcolmson’s bid for his former seat on Saturday. ​ ​ “This NDP government has done all the positive things the B.C. Liberals could have done if they wanted to,” Krog said at the event, professing confidence that his former party will retain the ​ ​ seat. “Nanaimo, apparently, it is the safest seat in the universe, but no seats are safe unless you work hard,” the premier said, acknowledging the significance of the upcoming campaign. The B.C. Liberals also launched candidate Tony Harris’ campaign on Saturday. Harris, a ​ ​ well-known local businessman, contends the riding has been considered a safe NDP seat for so long that the party has taken it for granted. “I’m confident that Hub City voters are ready for a new voice in Victoria — a local, homegrown voice that’s focused on big, bold ideas,” Harris said in a post on his campaign page, in which he ​ ​ also accused Malcolmson’s campaign of lacking “a single mention of any new ideas about how to make our city better.” On Sunday, the B.C.
