SUMMARY:Anchoring Hope - Why Connections Matter - Saskatoon
DESCRIPTION:Back for a second year\, Anchoring Hope brings together adult allies who have youth in their lives and want to make a meaningful difference in their homes\, schools\, workplaces\, and communities.\nThe relationships we build with young people matter. Strong relationships help youth feel seen\, heard\, understood\, and supported. Having even one trusted adult can make a lasting difference.\nAnchoring Hope is a day to reflect\, learn\, grow\, and connect\, exploring how we can strengthen our relationships with youth\, create space for honest conversations\, and remind young people and ourselves that we don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. \nIt’s also a day to celebrate you\, the adult ally\, and the important role you play in the lives of young people.\nJoin us for a day of reflection\, learning\, personal growth\, and professional development\, while connecting with others who are committed to creating stronger\, more supportive communities for youth. \nKeynote speaker Allan Kehler\, will join us as our keynote speaker presenting\, Find Your Voice – Reclaim Your Power: In this powerful and deeply personal session\, Allan challenges the cultural myths surrounding mental health\, resilience\, and emotional expression. Drawing from his own lived experience with mental illness\, addiction\, and suicide\, Allan shares an unfiltered look at what it means to live behind a mask\, and what it takes to finally remove it. Allan will encourage individuals to recognize their own vulnerability\, speak openly\, and take ownership of their well-being. Youth are always watching\, and how we handle our own struggles can shape who they learn and handle theirs.

SUMMARY:Beyond Behaviour: Building Brains\, Boundaries\, and Resilience - Understanding Executive Functions\, Developing Capacity\, and Raising Kids Ready for Life
DESCRIPTION:What if understanding behaviour started with understanding the developing brain? \nChildren and youth aren’t born knowing how to manage emotions\, control impulses\, navigate challenges\, respect boundaries\, or bounce back from setbacks. These abilities develop through experience\, relationships\, practice\, and the gradual maturation of executive functions. \nThis engaging\, brain-based session explores how executive functions develop\, what behaviour is really communicating\, why healthy boundaries matter\, and how adults can intentionally build resilience without removing every challenge or rescuing children from every struggle. \nParticipants will discover practical\, neuroscience-informed strategies for setting and maintaining boundaries\, supporting emotional regulation\, responding to behaviour\, and creating opportunities for children and youth to develop independence\, confidence\, and lifelong coping skills. Because the goal isn’t simply better-behaved kids. It’s building more capable\, resilient humans.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Health and STBBIs: Practical Approaches to Delivering Culturally Safe and Trauma-Informed Care
DESCRIPTION:Effective STBBI prevention and care for Indigenous communities goes beyond clinical knowledge. It requires an understanding of factors that influence Indigenous health\, as well as approaches that build trust and foster meaningful relationships with the individuals and communities we serve. Developing cultural safety and trauma-informed practices can help healthcare providers create more welcoming and responsive care experiences while improving access to services and health outcomes. Designed for healthcare providers\, public health professionals\, community workers\, and others involved in STBBI prevention and care\, this session will provide practical knowledge and tools that can be applied in frontline and community-based settings. \nParticipants will leave with a deeper understanding of: \n\nCurrent and emerging STBBI trends affecting Indigenous communities\, and the factors that contribute to health inequities.\nIndigenous-led and community-driven approaches that support STBBI prevention\, testing\, treatment\, and linkage to care.\nPractical strategies for delivering culturally safe\, trauma-informed\, and client-centred care that build trust\, strengthen engagement\, and support positive care experiences.\nOpportunities to reduce barriers and improve equitable access to STBBI services across urban\, rural\, remote\, and northern communities.\nHow culturally safe care can enhance client engagement\, support equitable access to services\, and contribute to improved health outcomes.

SUMMARY:Boundary Practice Workshop: Self-Care Practices and Negotiating Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Many of us who choose to work in human services have big hearts and generous spirits. We develop our practice and communication skills\, but we don’t always consider our boundaries\, especially when the needs of those we work with so often exceed our own. Boundaries are essential to practice when working in the helping professions\, as they make caring sustainable and protect skilled workers from compassion fatigue\, vicarious traumatization\, and burnout. Boundary practice encourages us to consider our energy and how we are spending it\, and to understand pre-existing patterns of relating that attract us to the helping professions while also making boundary practice more difficult. \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different patterns of relating\, to become better stewards of our professional energy and make our self-care practices more personal and effective. Participants will gain a better understanding of how they feel and think at work relative to how they are negotiating boundaries with clients and coworkers. Boundary work ensures we are bringing our best selves to the work we love so much.

SUMMARY:Childhood Immunization in Saskatchewan: Facilitators\, Challenges\, and Family-Driven Improvement Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Childhood immunization remains one of the most effective public health interventions for preventing diseases and protecting the health of children and communities. In Saskatchewan\, the level of protection for vaccine preventable diseases has fallen below optimal levels. \nTo better understand what is working well and what can be improved in immunization services\, our research team engaged families of children 0-6 years of age and healthcare workers in two regions of Saskatchewan to gain their perspectives. Designed for healthcare providers\, public health professionals\, community workers\, and persons interested in immunization information\, this session will aim to address the following: \n\nExamine the current state of childhood immunization coverage in Saskatchewan and Canada.\nProvide an overview of current vaccines and immunization practices in Saskatchewan.\nIdentify common facilitators and barriers to childhood immunization in Saskatchewan and Canada.\nProvide an overview of family and healthcare worker driven immunization service improvement strategies.\nDiscuss the healthcare provider role in childhood immunizations.
