Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (SPDAT) ™

This program is for people using this tool in their agencies: The Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (SPDAT) is an evidence-informed approach to assessing an individual’s or family’s acuity. This tool prioritizes; across multiple components, who to serve next and why - while identifying areas in the person/family’s life where support is most likely needed in order to avoid housing instability. SPDAT uses 15 dimensions to determine an acuity score that helps to inform who would benefit most from Housing First; Rapid Re-housing & who could end their own homelessness with little to no intervention. SPDAT also informs which areas in the person’s life could be the initial focus in the case management relationship to improve housing stability & how individuals and families are changing over time as a result of the case management process.

Parlons suicide : formation communautaire

 Cet atelier interactif de trois heures atténuera les craintes et la stigmatisation qui nous empêchent de parler de suicide. Ensemble, nous explorerons les façons de reconnaître les signes de détresse, de poser des questions directes, mais bienveillantes, et de créer des espaces propices aux échanges ouverts et exempts de jugement. Les participants apprendront aussi à appuyer la mise en place d’un plan de sécurité en aiguillant la personne en détresse vers les ressources communautaires pertinentes. En sortant de cette formation, vous vous sentirez plus à l’aise, plus confiants et mieux préparés à parler de suicide et à veiller à la sécurité des gens dans votre entourage.

Day 3: Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence, This program will be IN PERSON & has a Prerequisite

Day 3: Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence [Prerequisite: Day 2: Therapeutic Engagement].

A one-day training on trauma-informed engagement with men.

Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence is based on trauma-informed research examining the links between male childhood abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV). While many practitioners are aware that most men who are prone to rage and partner violence have a significant history of childhood abuse, few intervention programs are derived from this research and application.

This training focuses on the clinical implications of adopting a trauma-oriented understanding of IPV. We will fearlessly challenge the dominant discourse of “power and control” model of understanding through comprehensive picture of the inner world of men who are assaultive. Using a trauma lens, this training arguably offers a more nuanced, more respectful and more promising approach to clinical interventions with this population, whether through individual or group intervention.
