EAPO Upcoming Webinars

Join EAPO for upcoming webinar on January 18^th: Implementing the Seniors’ Anti-Bullying Toolkit in Seniors’ Residences.

Using the results from the Seniors Bullying in Ontario Survey, formal feedback from stakeholders, and existing best practices, a Seniors’ Anti-bullying Toolkit was created.

The Toolkit is modular and includes strategies and activities to prevent and address bullying behaviours and how to create a positive environment.

This webinar will present on the lessons learned from implementing the Toolkit in seniors’ residences, with the residents and staff at seniors’ residence sites, the current strategies being applied from the Seniors’ Anti-bullying Toolkit, and will discuss how these strategies are being modified and built upon to reduce bullying behaviours. 

Presenters: Kirsten Madsen, Professor, Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences, Sheridan College and Dorothy Rodrigues, Registered Social Service Worker, Community Development Practitioner and Bullying Project Facilitator.

Webinar provided with an ASL Interpreter

Join EAPO and Mixed Company Theatre for an interactive, role-playing based event, Two-Sided Mirror, about navigating a loved one’s life-threatening illness, and supporting older adults through depression and suicidal ideation.

Reality based scenarios will focus on how to support loved ones through major health related choices and the mental health impact of illnesses on everyone involved.

After viewing scenarios, participants will be invited by a facilitator to comment on the scenes, suggest changes, and replace characters to try out their own ideas to improve the situation for the characters.

Through these dialogues, participants will also learn how to recognize the signs of older adults who are experiencing depression and suicidal ideation and explore new ways to support one another if and when these circumstances arise.
