We are excited to announce that our third International Congress will be held from 17 to 20 October, 2019, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Healing interactions between healthcare workers and patients are key to the transformation that we seek to promote and we will attempt to model healing relationships in all our interactions with you from the time you pick up your badge to your departure at the completion of the Congress. After two very successful Congresses on Whole Person Care we have planned this 3rd Congress to continue what worked so well in the first two Congresses and to add features that will maximize the overall effect. These features include: more interactive workshops, all of which will be 90 min. long; lunch on Friday and Saturday to maximise opportunities for networking; a light supper on October 18 to allow participants to remain at the venue for the play reading and panel discussion; the play reading by professional actors; a group of very exciting and provocative plenary speakers, allotted times for review and discussion of posters; and a more secluded quiet room for reflection and relaxation.

We look forward to welcoming you to four days of interactive workshops, plenary lectures with exciting and provocative speakers, best-practice sharing and unparalleled international professional networking opportuni-ties. On behalf of the Executive Committee, we would like to warmly invite you to participate in the 3rd International Congress on Whole Person Care, and we look forward to welcoming you to Montreal.

A striking union of European charm and North American attitude, Montréal, the host city, seduces visitors with a harmonious pairing of the historic and the new, from exquisite architecture to fine dining. Once home to the First Nations people, this island gem on the magnificent St. Lawrence River in time saw travellers from far and wide land on its shores before becoming a bus-tling port city. The French colonists were the first to arrive, followed by the English, the Scottish and the Irish. Later, myriad peoples from around the world settled the lush swaths stretching up to Mount Royal. Today, 120 distinct ethnic communities are represented in its population of more than 3.6 million, making Montréal a veritable mosaic of cultures and traditions. The world’s second largest francophone city after Paris, it merits the moniker ‘international’ city, a cosmopolitan centre with proud roots in the past that enthusiastically embraces the future.

Day 2

Friday, October 18, 2019 Afternoon

90-min. workshops

1:30-3:00 pm, Ballroom A The Recovery Transition Program: An innovative recovery-oriented, peer-based mentoring program in addiction services Dr. Kathryn Gill The Recovery Transition Program (RTP): Rationale, design, and deli-very of an innovative recovery-oriented, peer-based mentoring pro-gram into addiction and mental health services The RTP is an award-winning complementary approach to standard care implemented by patients and staff in the Mental Health Mission at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). The RTP was designed to reduce relapses, improve recovery and patient experiences of care. In the RTP trained patient volunteers – called Peer Mentors – provide one-on-one peer mentoring, create workshops, facilitate group discussions, run family/caregiver meetings, and participate in creative activities. Collectively the RTP provides a supportive, learning and skill-building environment designed to help Peer Mentors, patients and families in their recovery.

This workshop will outline the rationale/design of the program, its mis-sion and mandate, as well as practical issues related to ethics, super-vision of Peer Mentors, governance, financing, policies (e.g. code of conduct) and procedures (e.g. forms, referral methods). Discussion will include the design and delivery of the 30-hour Peer Mentor Training Program that covers topics related to roles, confidentiality, communica-tion and listening skills, boundaries and self-disclosure, dealing with crisis, and self-care. Results of the formal RTP program evaluation will be presented. This includes both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (interviews) methods aimed at exploring core aspects of the mentoring experience, as well as perceptions of care and satisfaction with RTP services among patients, staff and Peer Mentors. Workshop partici-pants will receive information and materials that would enable them to consider setting up an RTP program in their own mental health settings.

1:30-3:00 pm, Salle du Parc Beyond psychiatric symptoms Dr. Tewfik Said, Dr. Ahmad Almadani

Psychic pain goes far beyond the set of psychiatric symptoms that af-flict our patients. Actually, there is much debate in our field as to what gives rise to the other; is psychic pain a by-product of psychiatric symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, or are symptoms a mani-festation of psychic pain, namely that we develop symptoms by virtue that the psychic pain is unbearable. Although many of our therapeutic interventions tend to target symptom removal, or at least their allevia-tion, fewer efforts are placed on understanding the patients’ psychic pain.

During this workshop the presenters will give a brief outline of what we know about psychic pain and the challenge that is faced in reaching it. With extensive use of audiovisually recorded clinical interviews, we will engage the audience in an interactive exploration of these concepts. A special emphasis will be placed on the training of health professionals to be able to identify, tolerate, and work with such pain on a daily ba-sis. As this workshop will present vignettes of actual clinical interviews with patients, any form of recording or taking pictures throughout the presentation is absolutely forbidden to preserve patients’ confidentiality.

Saturday, October 19, 2019 Morning 90-min. workshops

10:30 am-12:00 pm, Ballroom A Can doctors still have a voice in healthcare? Dr. Howard Stuart, Dr. Nilay Ozen, Dr. Vivian Petropoulos

In the fall of 2014 the Quebec Health Ministry announced plans for a broad restructuring of the entire Healthcare network, implemented shortly thereafter in 2015. The effect on institutions was dramatic and immediate. Local management was eradicated, concentrating and cen-tralizing control of the entire system ultimately into the office of the Min-ister. With the abrupt reorganization of services came relocation of large numbers of personnel. Management at a distance became the norm. In many institutions, the commonly held view among physicians with regard to relations with management can be summarized as, “Suddenly there was no one to talk to.” Confusion and tension were prevalent and palpable. In this context, in attempt to have a voice, a group of physicians at one community hospital formed an independent organization. It developed into an influential body which continues to remain active. This workshop will use the experiences and reflections of physicians from that organization as a basis to explore questions such as: -Is there a difference between Health Services and Health Care? Do we care? -Does worker engagement matter in Healthcare delivery? Or are good systems and modern equipment all we really need? -Does sense of community matter within a healthcare institution? If so why? If it matters, is it just for the benefit of those working for the organ-ization? Or is there a benefit for the users too? -What is the basis for sense of community? Where does it come from? Can it be destroyed? Can it be developed? -Is there an importance to the quality of relationships between people working within Healthcare? Do these relationships have impact on qual-ity of care? -Should the perspective of those working in the system be incorporated into Management decision making? If so how? -What can physicians, nurses and other allied Healthcare professionals do in order to have a voice?

10:30 am-12:00 pm, Salle du Parc “I wish I’d laid my hand on her shoulder.” Fostering compassion in first-year medical students Dr. Edvin Schei, Dr. Beth Whelan, Dr. Tom Hutchinson

In order to care for sick people as whole persons, health personnel need awareness of how sickness afflicts human beings, and how health professionals affect patients’ ability to deal with disease and suffering. In medical education there is a well-documented dearth of teaching and learning about emotions and relational healing mechanisms. Medical students are not systematically educated in the “existential anatomy” of persons, and how to deal productively with uncertainty, embarrassment and helplessness. In this highly participatory workshop, a concrete teaching method for first-year medical students, developed in Norway, will be shared. The method, called PASKON (“patient contact”) is anchored within a theo-retical framework related to Whole Person Care, which is currently taught at McGill. Central to PASKON is the encounter between novice medical students and very sick volunteers, both in the patients’ homes and in the classroom. Having to enter the intimacy sphere of a stranger, and be acknowledged as a health professional without feeling like one, is an orchestrated rite of passage that generates strong emotions and a wealth of material for reflection. More experienced students coach the first-years and assess their reflective essays. The workshop will highlight the rationale for working with relationships, emotion and awareness in medical students. Participants will then be given roles as patients or students, and guided through a simulated session of PASKON, and reflections on the method and its potential applications.

12:00-1:30 pm, Ballroom A & B Lunch/Formal Review of Posters 1:30-3:00 pm, Ballroom A Teaching through storytelling Dr. Cory Ingram Have you ever felt envious of how a presenter told a story or engaged their audience? Even more personally, have you ever experienced how they captivated their audience while teaching the same material you teach. Did you feel like perhaps you were not so engaging with your audience or your audience wasn’t so engaged with you? Perhaps you are looking for a fresh way to present old themes and concepts. Through spending time in this workshop, you will come away with a practiced plan in hand for your next teaching endeavor. The purpose of this workshop is to empower you during the 90 minutes we have together to understand the mindset, skillset and toolset for sto-rytelling. After we get to know each other, we’ll spend time with a brief few minutes didactic followed by time to write, craft and share that ele-ment of your story. Each person will then identify at least a single teaching topic for the focus of their story. That will be their focus for the workshop. This process will repeat for each storytelling skill. There will be didactic, but the focus is on storytelling refinement so when you leave the workshop you have a plan specific to a topic you teach. The workshop concludes with participants voluntarily sharing their stories and reflecting on this process. 1:30-3:00 pm, Salle du Parc A taster of an award-winning conflict resolution training program for pediatric health professionals Dr. Esse Menson & Ms. Sarah Barclay In 2013, the Medical Mediation Foundation and the Evelina London Children’s Hospital initiated a project to explore the nature and impact of conflict across paediatrics. Interestingly, staff were initially reluctant to name disagreements as ‘conflict’, but widespread canvassing of ex-perience yielded a working definition of conflict which has ‘the break-

down of trust and communication breakdown’ and "impact on the ability of staff to provide optimal care to the child" at its core. The project, based on published research with families and health professionals, provides training to staff in recognising and managing conflict and an independent mediation service available to families, patients and staff to help resolve conflict if it escalates. The Evelina Resolution Project has become a nationally recognised, award-winning training program. Interactive, multi-disciplinary sessions (usually half days, 12-20 staff) are co-trained, combining the expertise of a senior consultant paediatrician and an experienced accredited me-diator. Six month follow up of a cohort of 313 staff found that more than half had experienced a conflict with a parent or patient since doing the training and of these, 95% reported that the training had helped them to recognise the warning signs and 91% said it had helped de-escalate the conflict. Feedback from more than 1600 Evelina staff trained to date, provides consistently high ‘quality’ ratings (95% rated the training as excellent/very good), ‘relevance’ ratings (99% - very relevant/relevant). This workshop will offer a condensed version of the training and an opportunity for participants to practise and discuss the skills taught.

Day 4

Sunday, October 20, 2019 Morning 90-min. workshops

8:00-8:50 am, Salle du Parc Compassion and Self-Compassion Dr. Michael Kearney & Dr. Radhule Weininger 8:00-8:50 am, Salle des Pins Writing & Self-Care Dr. Liam Durcan 9:00-10:30 am, Ballroom A Defining the experience: How do you know you are practicing Whole Person Care? Ms. Maria Carolina Festa, Mr. Philip Leger, Ms. Valerie Caldas Introduction: Whole Person Care (WPC) is a growing movement in health care recognized as an important tool for both practitioners and patient outcomes. What remains unclear is what WPC looks like in practice and how providers know they are practicing it successfully. Methods: Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 30 healthcare providers during the WPC congress in 2017. An iterative qualitative process was used to code and analyze the data using quali-tative research software. Results: Our analysis revealed that the practice of WPC is an indi-vidual experiential process appreciated through self-awareness and connection. In this workshop, attendees will be prompted to reflect on their experiences of providing WPC through individual and group exer-cises. Conclusion: Cues to whether you are practicing WPC rely on prac-titioner self-awareness and perceptions of how interactions transpire. This workshop offers an opportunity to create an experiential map of the elements contributing to the growing practice of WPC. 9:00-10:30 am, Salle du Parc Reading patients: our story of narrative medicine Dr. Catherine Courteau & Dr. Laurence Laneuville As Dr. Rita Charon, pioneer of the field of narrative medicine, said “Literary accounts of illness can teach physicians concrete and power-ful lessons about the lives of sick people” but also “enable physicians to recognize the power and implications of what they do.” (Charon et al, 1995) Through various narrative medicine exercises, we have explored the benefits of narrative medicine for health care professionals.

During our workshop, we will briefly review our narrative medicine initi-atives and then dive into a narrative medicine exercise with the group to demonstrate its potential benefits among health care professionals. We hope that by providing concrete examples of narrative medicine projects we have developed and implemented, we will facilitate the in-tegration of narrative medicine into participants’ own practices. 9:00-10:30 am, Salle des Pins Queering Whole Person Care Ms. Jane Shulman & Ms. Caroline Marchionni This workshop is the product of a research study exploring the strate-gies that queer people develop to navigate hegemonic, heteropatriar-chal health care systems, and ways that nurse education can incorpo-rate a narrative-based, whole person care approach to understanding and supporting the needs of queer patients. This mixed-methods study included interviews with queer people, nurse educators and practicing nurses; textual analysis of queer health narratives; close reading of queer, feminist and cultural theory; and autoethnography. Some of the questions that we will explore are: How do queers use per-sonal narratives to help navigate health care systems not designed to see/meet their needs? How do queers challenge dominant power struc-tures in medicine? What does whole person care look like in a queer context? What would nurses like to see included in nursing education, and what do queers want health providers to know? What are the key pedagogical challenges in attempting such communication? We hope participants will leave our workshop with a better understan-ding of queer peoples' experiences of health care, and ways that queers and nurses can work together for better health outcomes. 10:30-10:45 am Brief Pause 10:45 am-12:00 pm, Ballroom A Closing Plenary Session Whole Person Care Team
