Key Methods or Ways of Working together

We are inviting submissions for the following types of sessions during the conference. Any topic can be covered using one of these methods.

To facilitate peer review, contribution submissions should not exceed 250 words. There are no specific requirements for the format of the contribution submission, however, you may submit in research format (i.e., Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions) where applicable.

Quick-Talk (5-minute session): Telling a story
Use 1 – 3 slides and a story telling format to share an idea or experience. Slides should have big visuals or videos and preferably few words.

Presentation (20 minute session):  Sharing our stories
Talk about a topic that interests you. Share information, an experience, or something you are thinking about. Your presentation will be grouped with two other presentations of a similar theme with time at the end of the 90-minute session devoted to questions and discussions. You can do this as a solo presentation or with multiple people.

Panel (60 or 90 minute session):  Conversations from multiple perspectives
Host a group of 3 or 4 contributors around a common theme. Panel should include multiple perspectives – such as youth, families, clinicians, leaders, policy makers, or care providers. A third of the time should be devoted to questions and discussions.

Workshop (60 or 90 minute session): Teaching and practicing
Use your expertise to lead an interactive workshop on an idea or skill that will enhance a component or value of CAPA. This could include instruction or demonstration of the idea or skill, opportunities for attendees to practice, discussion of case examples applying the idea or skill. May include more than one facilitator, if that’s helpful. Please remember that all sessions will be recorded and consider that in your planning

In recognizing that this event is international and not everyone can attend during real time, for the Quick-Talk and Presentation format, there will options for attending in real time or by sending in a pre-recorded video.

What will participants take away from this session? Please provide 2-3 learning objectives describing what the participant will be able to do after participating in your session. Use verbs such as Identify, Review, Prepare, Describe, etc.

Example:
Session Title: Thoughts from away: working with goals to enhance client-centered care
Session Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Explain the process of goal-oriented practice across different modalities, with different client groups in different settings;
• Elaborate on Goal-Based Outcomes (GBO), a tool to help facilitate best practice;
• Outline how goal-oriented practice is central to CAPA;
• Recall the theoretical and research evidence that underpins this way of working.

Day 1:  Focus on foundational understanding of CAPA.  Topics will focus on the 11-core components of CAPA and developing a shared understanding of the way we work together.  The intention of the day will be welcome those who are new to, or curious about CAPA, or who have experience with CAPA and want to refresh and reflect on the essential elements of the CAPA way of working.

Day 2:  Strengthening CAPA.  We will build on the core features of CAPA and reflect on ideas about how to adapt CAPA to your team’s context.  This will be a space to share lessons learned from the past two years to inform and regenerate in our work moving ahead in inspiring ways. 

All the sessions will be recorded and posted on the virtual conference platform for a year following the conference. All participants will have access to the session post event unless you will be discussing personal sensitive information/situations. If this is the case, please contact Kristen McCoy kmccoy@uottawa.ca after you submit your contribution to indicate that you would prefer not having your session recorded and shared.
