9 8:30 am - 10:15 am / 8 h h 15 Keynote / Conférencier d honneur Gabor Maté Gabor Maté Illness and Health in a Toxic Society Location: Salon A (English - Simultaneous Interpretation) Half of North American adults suffer from chronic illness a fact Western medicine views largely in terms of individual predispositions and habits. Western medicine imposes two separations, neither tenable scientifically. First, it separates mind from the body, largely assuming that most chronic illnesses have nothing to do with people's emotional and psychological experiences. And yet, a large and irrefutable body of research has clearly shown that physiologic and behavioural functioning of human beings can be understood only if we integrate our body functions with those of the mind: functions such as awareness, emotions, our interpretations of and responses to events, and our relationships with other people. Second, Western practice views people's health as separate from the social environment, ignoring social determinants of health such as class, gender, economic status, and race. Such factors, in reality, are more important influences on health and longevity than individual predispositions and personal factors such as genes, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and so on. This presentatino shows how a society dedicated to material pursuits rather than genuine human needs and spiritual values stresses its members, undermines healthy child development and dooms many to chronic illness, from diabetes to heart disease, from autoimmune conditions to cancer. Dr. Gabor Maté weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them. As an author, Dr. Maté has written In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress; and Scattered Minds: A New Look at the Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder, among others. Dr. Maté has worked with patients challenged by hard-core drug addiction, mental illness, and HIV, including working at Vancouver s Supervised Injection Site. Dr. Maté has received the Hubert Evans Prize for Literary Non-Fiction; an Honorary Degree (Law) from the University of Northern British Columbia; an Outstanding Alumnus Award from Simon Fraser University; and the 2012 Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award from Mothers Against Teen Violence. La maladie et la santé dans une société toxique Lieu : Salon A (Anglais - interprétation simultanée) La moitié des adultes nord-américains souffrent de maladie chronique, une donnée que la médecine occidentale attribue largement à des prédispositions et à des habitudes individuelles. La médecine occidentale impose deux séparations, dont ni l une ni l autre n a de fondement scientifique. D abord, elle sépare l esprit du corps, ce qui présuppose grossièrement que les maladies chroniques n ont rien à voir avec les expériences émotives et psychologiques des personnes. Et pourtant, il existe de nombreuses recherches indiquant clairement que les fonctions psychologiques et comportementales des êtres humains ne peuvent être comprises qu en intégrant les fonctions corporelles à celles de l esprit : des fonctions telles que la prise de conscience, les émotions, nos interprétations et réactions aux événements et nos relations avec autrui. Par ailleurs, la pratique occidentale examine la santé des gens de façon séparée du contexte social, ignorant ainsi les déterminants sociaux de la santé WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai 6

10 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 comme la classe sociale, le sexe, le statut économique et la race. En réalité, de tels facteurs constituent des influences plus importantes sur la santé et la longévité que les prédispositions individuelles et les facteurs personnels comme la génétique, les niveaux de cholestérol, la tension artérielle, etc. Cet exposé montre à quel point une société axée sur des objets matériels plutôt que sur les véritables besoins et valeurs des humains impose un stress à ses membres, nuit au développement sain de l enfant et condamne un large pan de la population à la maladie chronique, qu il s agisse du diabète en passant par les maladies du cœur ou des maladies auto-immunes jusqu au cancer. Le Dr Gabor Maté conjugue la recherche scientifique, l observation des antécédents et ses propres connaissances et son expérience pour présenter une large perspective, qui permet aux personnes de préconiser leurs propres approches de guérison et celles des personnes qui les entourent. Le Dr Maté est notamment l auteur de In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress; et Scattered Minds: A New Look at the Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder. Il a travaillé auprès de patients aux prises avec une dépendance aux drogues dures, la maladie mentale et le SIDA, notamment en œuvrant au site d'injection supervisé de Vancouver. Le Dr Maté a reçu le prix Hubert Evans Prize for Literary Non-Fiction; un doctorat honorifique (Droit) de l Université Northern British Columbia; un prix Outstanding Alumnus Award de l Université Simon Fraser; et le prix 2012 Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award, décerné par Mothers Against Teen Violence. 10:15 am - 10:45 am / 10 h h 45 Nutrition Break / Pause santé Location / Lieu : Prefunction WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 Concurrent Sessions / Séances simultanées A1-10 Strategies Proven to Inspire Even the Most Struggling Youth Location: Lecture Theatre (English - Simultaneous Interpretation) Want to engage even the most struggling youth? Learn 10 strategies proven to build relationships, grab attention, and inspire. Emphasizing the importance of multi-tiered systems of support and multiple intelligence approaches, learn how to teach youth social and emotional life skills in ways they can relate to and remember. Researchers have seen positive changes using these 10 strategies in school climate, academic success, dropout prevention, classroom management, and bullying prevention. Be engaged through visual metaphors, videos, music, and activities. All levels of expertise are welcome. Participants will receive a handout outlining the 10 strategies and a link to a lesson. Christian Moore worked at an alternative school, in youth corrections, and a mental health agency. His program, WhyTry, is used in 16,000 organizations, and teaches social/emotional skills using a multisensory approach. A1-10 stratégies éprouvées pour inspirer même les jeunes les plus en difficulté Lieu : Amphithéâtre (Anglais - interprétation simultanée) (Préliminaire) Vous souhaitez faire participer même les jeunes les plus en difficulté? Apprenez 10 stratégies qui ont fait leurs preuves lorsqu il s agit d établir des relations, de capter l attention et d inspirer. L accent est mis sur l importance de systèmes d aide à niveaux multiples et sur les approches à intelligences multiples; apprenez à enseigner aux jeunes des habiletés sociales et affectives d une manière qui les touche et qu ils conserveront en mémoire. Les chercheurs ont constaté que le recours à ces 10 stratégies se traduit par des changements positifs dans l'atmosphère de l'école, le succès scolaire, la prévention du décrochage, la gestion en classe et la prévention de l'intimidation. Faites appel à des métaphores visuelles, des vidéos, de la 7

11 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 musique et des activités. Tous les niveaux d expertise sont les bienvenus.

Christian Moore a travaillé dans une école alternative, en centre jeunesse et dans un organisme de services de santé mentale. Son programme, intitulé «Why Try», est utilisé par organismes et sert à enseigner des habiletés sociales et affectives au moyen d une approche multisensorielle. A2 - Observed and Experiential Integration (OEI): A New Trauma Therapy - Theory/Research, Demonstration, and Hands-On Experience Location: Saanich OEI has been used cross-culturally, initially with First Nations clients in Canada, and more recently in Indonesia and Korea. OEI has also been introduced in China and Bulgaria. This therapy has been used with children younger than 2 1/2 years of age, and also with couples and families. OEI has been applied to addictions, eating disorders, dissociative disorders, agitated depression, self-harming behaviour, and body dysmorphic disorder. The first portion of the presentation will include a brief review of OEI theory and research, followed by live and video demonstrations of OEI techniques. The second portion will involve hands-on experience of two OEI techniques. Those wishing to read more about OEI either before or after the session are referred to: Bradshaw, R. A., Cook, A., and McDonald, M. J. (2011). Observed and experiential integration (OEI): Discovery and development of a new set of trauma therapy techniques.

Laurie Detwiler, MA has 20 years of experience, currently at Kwantlen University since She completed research on recovery from PTSD and is a certified OEI trainer. A3 - EFT in Action: An Experiential Primer and Introduction to Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy Location: Sidney This presentation has two main objectives. The primary objective is to give participants an experiential taste of EFT in action by the use of role play scenarios, video clips, and other media designed to demonstrate what an in-session EFT process looks and feels like, and what distinguishes it from other approaches in the field of couple therapy. As a related theoretical backdrop, the second principal aim is to offer a basic overview of the EFT approach. The purpose here would be to describe how EFT fits within the larger field of couple therapy, illustrate how it brings attachment theory to life in helping couples transform their relationship bond, and share some of the interventions and secrets to doing it well. Leanne Campbell is a registered psychologist in private practice in Nanaimo, B.C. A certified EFT Trainer and Supervisor, she is co-founder and co-director of the Vancouver Island Centre for EFT. David Fairweather is a registered psychologist in private practice in Nanaimo, B.C. A certified EFT Trainer and Supervisor, he is co-founder and co-director of the Vancouver Island Centre for EFT. A4 - The Designation of Canadian Certified Counsellor Supervisor (CCC-S) Location: Colwood Supervision is a specialty within the overall practice of counselling and psychotherapy and is perhaps one of the most important components in the development of a competent practitioner. It is within the context of supervision that trainees begin to develop a sense of their professional identity and to examine their own beliefs and attitudes regarding clients and therapy. In 2013, the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) established a credentialing service for its members: Canadian Certified Counsellor Supervisor (CCC-S) to meet the growing need for qualified clinical supervisors. Because of limited coursework in supervision in Canadian graduate programs in Counselling and Counselling Psychology and insufficient post-master s coursework and training opportunities, it is difficult for counsellors to pursue comprehensive training WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai 8

12 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 in clinical supervision. This session will provide an overview of the national designation of Canadian Certified Counsellor- Supervisor (CCC-S), including the requirements and the application process, as well as identify existing coursework and professional development opportunities on supervision. Kim Hollihan, EdD, works at the CCPA national office and is responsible for the CCC-S certification, the agency accreditation program, and public relations. She has been active in the career development field provincially and nationally. Blythe Shepard, PhD, CCC, is CCPA President and past-chair of the Certification Committee. She is a counsellor educator at the University of Lethbridge. A5 - Forgiveness Conversations in Small Groups Location: Salon A Forgiveness has found a credible place in counselling literature in the past two decades. It has been discovered that forgiveness interventions with a coherent treatment plan help clients improve self-concept, increase hopefulness and reduce the psychological symptoms of depression and anxiety. Therapeutic interventions can take place in psycho-educational counselling groups. Participants in this session will define forgiveness, learn to recognize the themes in the process of forgiving and track the progress of forgiveness in group member's experience. This will be accomplished through mini-lectures and participating in a limited number of brief structured exercises which can be used as templates for forgiveness conversations in small groups. Daniel Klassen is Professor Emeritus in Education at Lakehead University, author of The Forgiveness Workbook, founder and counsellor at The Listening Centre serving clients in Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario.

Participants will learn about the dynamics commonly experienced by children in this process, including those who are caught in parental conflict. Participants will learn about: the developmental impacts of separation on children, normal vs. traumatic grief adjustment, cautions when working with parents, high conflict dynamics, and related issues. Case examples and discussion will facilitate participants learning. Participants will also be provided with examples of interventions which can be used with families, including play therapy methods. There will also be time allotted for experiential practice of interventions, and small group discussion. Further resources and links to interventions will be shared. Discussion will include implications and research to consider when working with family court or legal processes, counsellor ethics in dual roles, and considerations for working with families going through custody or other legal disputes. This informative workshop will leave participants with much "food for thought" around the challenges and rewards of working with this diverse client population.

She has a wide range of experience with individuals / groups including crisis intervention, grief counselling and experience in facilitation/teaching. 9

13 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 A7 - Part B: Highly Distressed Couples: How Do They Differ From Their Non-Distressed Counterparts? What is at the Root of It All? Location: Viewroyal (Advanced) Highly distressed couples pose a difficult challenge in therapy. Their maladaptive cyclical patterns of behaviour, typically chronic and toxic, pose a difficult challenge for therapists. Mainstream couple approaches conceptualize these patterns in terms of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, some few have identified needs as the driving force for behaviours. Drawing on the results of a study on couple distress, this presentation proposes that a taxonomy of unmet psychological and emotional needs are at the root of distress in highly distressed couples and that it is the interplay of these unmet needs that sustain maladaptive and cyclical patterns of behaviour. It is in the identification and meeting of these unmet needs that maladaptive patterns are transformed. The key to successful therapy is in identifying and conceptualizing the interplay of these unmet needs, and assisting the couple to shift these patterns in a healthy direction. The objective of this presentation is to provide couple therapists with a conceptual understanding of the unmet self and relational needs underlying negative relational dynamics which are at the root of distress in highly distressed couples. Assessment tools and treatments strategies will be presented. Shelley Briscoe-Dimock, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the graduate school of Counselling, Psychotherapy, and Spirituality at Saint-Paul University. Dr. Briscoe-Dimock teaches in the individual and couple program. 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm / 12 h h 30 Lunch on own / Dîner (non-inclus) 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm / 12 h h 15 Indigenous Circle Chapter / Section de cercle indigène Location / Lieu : Sidney 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm / 12 h h 15 Animal Assisted Therapy in Counselling / Section de counseling et zoothérapie Location / Lieu : Saanich 12:15 pm - 4:30 pm / 12 h h 30 School Counsellors Chapter / Section des conseillers scolaires Location / Lieu : Salon C 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm / 12 h h 15 Counsellors Educators Chapter / Section des formateurs de conseillers Location / Lieu : Colwood 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm / 12 h h 30 Poster Sessions / Séances d affiches Location / Lieu : Salon B (See page for the list of Poster Sessions / Veuillez voir la page pour la liste des séances d affiches) 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 Concurrent Sessions / Séances simultanées WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai 10

14 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 A8 - We-ness: Couple Identity in Those Facing Breast Cancer Location: Lecture Theatre (Simultaneous Interpretation) This presentation summarizes a study that explored the wider relational context of partners of women facing cancer. This presentation also highlights clinical applications of couple identity models for couples facing breast cancer. Based on outpatient care with intact couples facing breast cancer, clinical assessment and therapeutic approaches are summarized. Clinicians are encouraged to address the partner crisis and needs as well as the patient s needs and crisis. It is clinically important to allow fears of both members of a couple to surface and be addressed, while recognizing the challenges of couples wanting to protect one another. This presentation will offer ways to help strengthen the couple relationship and family support as main resources in facing breast cancer. This is a rewarding and impactful area of practice because as professionals we can help empower families to tap their strengths within, including their as yet undiscovered potentials. The therapeutic journey requires counsellors to accompany couples as they work through their own challenges and draw upon their personal and community resources. Typically, awareness of strengths and resources grows only gradually over time. Yet these journeys are often marked by the beauty emerging from amidst the struggle, a clear emergence of post-traumatic growth. Jillian Hart has completed thesis work and clinical training supporting families facing cancer. Marvin McDonald conducts research and supervises clinical work focused on families dealing with health crises. A8 - Le sentiment d unité : l identité du couple chez les personnes vivant une situation de cancer du sein Lieu : Amphithéâtre (Interprétation simultanée) (Intermédiaire) WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai Cette présentation résume une étude sur le contexte relationnel élargi des partenaires de femmes cancéreuses. On y souligne les cas d utilisation clinique de modèles d identité de couple conçus pour les couples aux prises avec une situation de cancer du sein. On y résume l évaluation clinique et les approches thérapeutiques fondées sur des soins en consultations externes auprès de couples intacts aux prises avec le cancer du sein. On incite les cliniciens à s occuper de la crise et des besoins du partenaire autant que de ceux de la patiente. Sur le plan clinique, il importe de laisser s exprimer les craintes des deux membres du couple, tout en reconnaissant les défis des membres du couple qui veulent se protéger l un et l autre. Cette présentation propose des façons d aider à renforcer la relation de couple et le soutien familial, qui constituent les principales ressources permettant d affronter le cancer du sein. Il s agit d un domaine de pratique gratifiant et déterminant, car à titre de professionnels, nous pouvons contribuer à ce que des familles parviennent à puiser dans leurs forces intérieures, notamment à même des ressources potentielles jusque-là inconnues. Le parcours thérapeutique exige que les conseillers accompagnent les couples qui cheminent pour relever leurs propres défis et qui font appel à leurs ressources personnelles et communautaires. De façon générale, la conscience des points forts et des ressources s accentue très graduellement au fil du temps. Cependant, ces cheminements sont souvent caractérisés par la beauté qui émerge au milieu de la lutte, soit la manifestation claire d'un épanouissement post-traumatique. Jillian Hart a achevé la rédaction de sa thèse et sa formation clinique en soutenant dans leurs démarches des familles aux prises avec le cancer. Marvin McDonald mène des recherches et fait de la supervision en lien avec du travail clinique portant sur les familles en situation de crise liée à la santé. A9 - Body Image, Embodiment, and Weight Bias in Education and Health Care Location: Saanich This panel will focus on practical strategies and research projects aimed at enhancing body image, understanding embodiment and combating weight bias in the education and health care systems. Many professionals believe that shaming people with weight-related issues will motivate positive behavior change. However, being on the receiving end of weight bias can increase unhealthy eating and physical activity behaviors in students and patients and leave them vulnerable to mental health issues such as body dissatisfaction. In education, a number of professional development interventions addressing weight bias and the development of healthy body image demonstrated significant improvements in teacher's awareness of and sensitivity to 11

15 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 student weight-related experiences. In health care, there is an urgent need for a larger scale strategy to facilitate interdisciplinary and collaborative professional development in the area of weight bias. The goal of this panel is to provide a foundation to understand how transforming disrupted bodily experiences and negative body image experiences into healthy and positive embodiment requires consideration of both the individual and school and health care environments. Shelly Russell-Mayhew is an associate professor and registered psychologist at the University of Calgary with a research program in the prevention and treatment of eating and weight-related issues. Tanya Hutchinson is completing her MSc at the University of Calgary with a research focus on exploring body image among a nonclinical population and the prevention of eating disorders. Angela Bardick is a PhD Candidate at the University of Calgary, currently completing her research focused on engaging a school community in the prevention of eating disorders and obesity. Kayla Balsden is currently completing the MSc Counselling Psychology program at the University of Calgary. Kayla s research interests include body image, embodiment, and resiliency in young adult women. Chantal Poirier is currently completing the MSc Counselling Psychology program at the University of Calgary. Chantal's research interests include body image and body self-discrepancy in adolescent and young-adult women. Alana Ireland is a PhD student at the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on health promotion and the prevention of weight-related issues in schools. Angela S. Alberga is a postdoctoral fellow researching psychosocial aspects of body weight and weight bias and the implications for population and public health at the University of Calgary. A10 - Reframing the Student Development Process in Counsellor Education Programs to a 360-Degree Life Contingency Plan Location: Esquimalt In an era of increased expectations and gatekeeping responsibilities, how do counsellor education programs build sustainable and scalable online student development services? In an era where students increasingly expect their needs to be met without ever stepping foot on a campus, counsellor educators are under increasing pressure to provide instantaneous assistance and access, across a broad realm of student development needs and services. This dilemma has left program leaders and administrators with a difficult charge: engage students more than ever before and help them to move developmentally from novice counsellor-in-training to emerging professionals. This session is designed to assess and address student development concerns across multiple domains. Further, it is designed to discuss and share resources and strategies between presenters and attendees. Finally, the presenters will propose using a 360-degree Life Contingency Plan model for student development plans. '360 degree feedback' is referred to because students working on a development plan receive feedback from the full circle of perspectives - faculty members, site supervisors, student development committee members, and sometimes others, such as academic advising, academic leadership, Code of Conduct officer, Student Affairs officer, Ombudsman, or legal services. Examples of 360-degree support for students will be discussed. Marilyn Haight has been a counsellor educator at Walden University since Her research interests include military related concerns, traumatic brain injury, and testing and assessments. Esther Benoit is a Core Faculty member in the Marriage, Couples and Family Counselling program at Walden University. She lives and works in the Hampton Roads Virginia area.

16 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 A11 - Adding Science to the Mix of Business and Pleasure: An Exploratory Study of Positive Psychology Interventions with Teachers Accessing Employee Assistance Counselling Location: Salon A This presentation will focus on a research project exploring whether the delivery of positive psychology interventions in the workplace through an employee assistance program (EAP) can improve employees authentic happiness and life flourishing as well as decrease symptoms of depression. For those interested in research, this presentation will present highlights of the results of the study. A small convenience sample of Manitoba public school educators accessing employee assistance were recruited for a quasi-experimental research design. Nine participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the remaining participants assigned to the control.

A12 - The Leadership Role of School Counsellors Location: Salon C The role of the school counsellor is changing to include leadership in the promotion of educational reform, as well as healthy and safe schools. The school counsellor plays an important role with interagency and interdisciplinary collaboration, focusing on the removal of barriers that impede student achievement. With the shift from a position to a program, school counsellors are expected to assume a leadership role, in addition to nurturing leadership in the school community. This session examines the leadership expectations of school counsellors and the need to include formal leadership skills training in counsellor preparation programs. This session also provides an opportunity to reflect on the changes in school counselling to include leadership as part of the scope of practice and how it affects the school counselling profession.

Diagnosed Client Location: Lecture Theatre (English - Simultaneous Interpretation) Increasingly, counsellors work with clients who present themselves and their circumstances in the psychiatric language of the DSM-5 and expect to be "treated" accordingly. Whether formally or self-diagnosed, clients increasingly present to therapy brandishing psychiatric labels as tools of self-understanding, self-description, and self-justification. This tendency can narrowtrack the understandings, interventions, and dialogues possible between counsellors and clients. In this interactive workshop, we will examine this tendency - within counsellor education, in self-understandings adolescents derive from psychiatric discourse, and with family members once a child has been given a DSM diagnosis - as it relates to the frontline practice of counselling. We will provide conversational strategies for engaging these client understandings beyond the limits or "totalizing" effects of the psychiatric understandings they may live by. We will draw on participants' experiences in working with "already diagnosed clients" or with clients who self-identify as having a mental health condition. Opportunities to practice the conversational strategies demonstrated, while sharing professional experiences with already diagnosed clients is our primary workshop focus. We aim to help counsellors optimize the dialogues they have with clients who present their concerns, and what needs to be done about them, in psychiatric discourse. Tom Strong is a counsellor educator who has written widely on the discursive (solution-focused/narrative/collaborative) therapies. His primary interest is in optimizing the collaborative, critically-reflective, and generative possibilities of clientcounsellor dialogues. Karen Ross is a doctoral student and narrative-collaborative therapist interested in how different discourses of "mental health" shape options for problem-solving and identity construction, particularly among young people Monica Sesma-Vazquez is currently a Postdoctoral-Fellow at the University of Calgary and a collaborative therapist from Mexico, focusing her research projects on mental health and medicalization/diagnostic discourses in therapeutic practices. A14 - Le counseling auprès d un client déjà diagnostiqué (par lui-même?) Lieu : Amphithéâtre (Anglais - interprétation simultanée) Il est de plus en plus fréquent que des conseillers doivent travailler auprès de clients qui présentent leur cas et leurs circonstances en utilisant le langage psychiatrique du DSM-5 et qui s attendent à être «traités» en conséquence. Qu ils aient reçu un diagnostic officiel ou qu ils se soient eux-mêmes diagnostiqués, les clients se présentent de plus en plus souvent en thérapie en brandissant des étiquettes psychiatriques qu'ils voient comme des outils leur permettant de se comprendre, de se décrire et de se justifier eux-mêmes. Or, cette tendance peut entamer la portée de la compréhension, des interventions et des dialogues qui doivent prévaloir entre les conseillers et leurs clients. Dans cet atelier interactif, nous examinerons cette tendance dans le cadre de la formation du conseiller, dans les «auto-explications» que les adolescents tirent du discours psychiatrique et auprès des membres de la famille après que l enfant a reçu un diagnostic DSM, sous l angle de la pratique de première ligne du counseling. Nous offrirons des stratégies de conversation permettant de faire évoluer ces concepts mis de l avant par le client au-delà des limites ou des effets «totalisateurs» des explications psychiatriques qu il invoque. Nous nous inspirerons des expériences vécues par les participants auprès de «clients déjà diagnostiqués» ou de clients qui se diagnostiquent eux-mêmes comme étant atteints d un problème de «santé mentale». L objectif principal de l atelier est de fournir des occasions de pratiquer les stratégies de conversation présentées, tout en partageant ses expériences professionnelles auprès de clients déjà diagnostiqués. Nous visons à aider les conseillers à optimiser les dialogues qu ils entretiennent avec les clients qui présentent leurs préoccupations dans le discours psychiatrique, et la façon de les aborder. Tom Strong est un formateur de conseillers qui a beaucoup écrit au sujet des thérapies discursives (centrées sur la solution/ narratives/collaboratives). Son intérêt principal porte sur le potentiel d optimisation collaborative, autocritique et générative des dialogues entre le client et le conseiller. WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai 14

18 3:15 pm - 4:30 pm / 15 h h 30 Karen Ross est une doctorante et une thérapeute d approche narrative-collaborative qui s intéresse à la façon dont les divers discours sur la «santé mentale» déterminent les options de résolution de problèmes et le processus identitaire, surtout chez les jeunes. Monica Sesma-Vazquez est postdoctorante à l Université de Calgary et thérapeute collaborative originaire du Mexique; elle centre ses recherches sur la «santé mentale» et les discours sur la médicalisation et le diagnostic dans les pratiques thérapeutiques. A15 - Record Keeping for Counsellors and Psychotherapists Location: Saanich In this session there will a review, with discussion, of many of the essential aspects of clinical record keeping including: what should be recorded, how records should be professionally managed, who owns them anyway, who can gain access and how, and so forth. While conducting this session Dr. Sheppard will draw on the CCPA Ethics Code, the Standards of Practice, examples from adjudicated cases and case law and his considerable counselling experience. Glenn Sheppard has been a counsellor and counsellor educator for more then 30 years. He has worked in many counselling environments: public school, mental health clinic, college counselling centre, and private practice. A16 - The Designation of "Canadian Certified Counsellor" Location: Esquimalt WEDNESDAY, May 7 / MERCREDI, le 7 mai The counselling profession in Canada is not currently regulated by a statutory process except in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. In 1986, CCPA established a credentialing service for its members: Canadian Certified Counsellors: A National Certification Program for Professional Counsellors. The program includes recognition of standards of professional preparation, continuing education, and a formal code of ethics. This session will provide an overview of this national service which identifies to the public those counsellors who CCPA recognizes as qualified to provide counselling services in Canada. Participants will learn about CCPA s certification requirements and the application process for obtaining the status of Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Common issues when applying for certification will be discussed. Please note that this session will not cover provincial regulation or CCPA s Code of Ethics. Monika Gal, MEd, CCC, is the current Certification Registrar with CCPA. She is a graduate of the University of Ottawa s M.Ed. in Educational Counselling. A17 Acknowledging Power and Privilege in Counselling: Socially Just Counselling Practices Location: Colwood A school counsellor learns some LGBTQ students are being bullied at school and the principal won t do anything. A counsellor offers a differently-abled student unsolicited special accommodation. A male client hesitates to join a support group for childhood sexual abuse. A client discontinues counselling because she cannot afford a counsellor s $150 fee per session. Many of the challenges that clients bring to counselling are rooted in dynamics of power and privilege. Understanding these influences begins with counsellors self-awareness of their social and economic positioning. From a social justice perspective, counsellors who focus primarily on helping clients cope with stressors caused by injustices rather than the causes of injustice themselves may inadvertently harm clients. Challenging the status quo to (re)empower clients begins with counsellor awareness of personal and professional power and privilege. This interactive session focuses on becoming aware of our own power and privilege as it manifests in our work with clients. Drawing on tools to analyze interpersonal power and privilege, we consider ways we can position ourselves within that power to support socially just and social justice practice. We will explore examples of applying interventions for client empowerment lest we contribute to the very challenges that brought clients to counselling. 15

How often do these courses run? Who teaches these courses and do they have career counselling experience? The CCPA Career Counsellors Chapter in partnership with the Canadian Career Development Foundation (CCDF) reached out to select counselling programs in Canada to discover what programs currently offer coursework focused on building career counselling skills and knowledge and to scratch the surface to determine both what is being delivered and how it is being delivered. Based on key informant interviews with representatives from the post-secondary institutions, best practices in career counselling education were identified that we would like to share with all CCPA members. The presenters will disseminate their research findings and facilitate a group discussion on how career counselling education can be better delivered to students to increase their engagement and promote this area of specialization.

Cependant, la santé mentale demeure un phénomène encore largement mal compris, qu on assimile souvent à une simple question clinique. Espérant transformer la perception traditionnelle de la société à l égard de la santé mentale, Stéphane Grenier a consacré une bonne part de sa carrière à redéfinir la façon dont les milieux de travail et les personnes devraient prendre soin des gens qui souffrent de problèmes de santé mentale et les soutenir. Son approche non clinique propose des façons simples et pragmatiques de donner un sens aux expériences vécues par les membres dans les milieux de travail, tout en permettant aux organisations d amorcer un cheminement vers le bien-être systémique et les milieux de travail humanisés, créant ainsi un espace dans lequel la stigmatisation de la santé mentale ne constitue plus un obstacle au rétablissement. Grâce à plus de dix années d'expérience dans le domaine et à sa propre démarche de longue date vers le rétablissement, et en tant que vétéran des Forces armées canadiennes, Stéphane Grenier propose de nouveaux paradigmes captivants en matière de santé mentale, de rétablissement et de résilience, le tout constituant une nouvelle façon d aborder un vieux problème. Il met l accent sur la proposition de solutions ancrées à la fois dans l expérience personnelle et dans les résultats de recherche de plusieurs auteurs et théoriciens bien en vue. Stéphane Grenier est un ancien membre des Forces armées canadiennes, qui s est retiré de son poste de Lieutenant Colonel au terme de plus de 29 ans de service. Aux prises avec un ESPT non diagnostiqué après une mission au Rwanda, M. Grenier s est intéressé personnellement à la façon dont les Forces armées canadiennes prenaient en charge les problèmes de santé mentale. En 2001, il forgea le terme «blessure de stress opérationnel» (BSO) et conçut et géra un programme gouvernemental national de soutien des pairs à l intention des Forces armées canadiennes. Son travail à titre de conseiller spécial en BSO donna lieu au lancement d un second programme de santé mentale, qui procure de l éducation entre pairs sur la santé mentale à plus de membres du personnel militaire annuellement. En 2009, M. Grenier a conçu une campagne de sensibilisation à la santé mentale pour les entreprises, à laquelle ont souscrit la Commission de la santé mentale du Canada, l Association canadienne pour la santé mentale et l Alliance canadienne pour la maladie mentale et la santé mentale. New Paradigms: Mental Health in the Workplace Location: Salon A (French - Simultaneous Interpretation) In today s modern, fast-paced workplace, mental health problems have become the leading cause of both short and long-term disability claims, accounting for 70% of workplace disability management costs in Canada. Nevertheless, mental health remains a widely misunderstood phenomenon, often referred to as merely a clinical issue. In hopes of challenging society s traditional outlook regarding mental health, Stephane Grenier has spent much of his career redefining how workplaces and individuals should care for and support those affected by mental health problems. His non-clinical approach offers simple and THURSDAY, May 8 / JEUDI, le 8 mai 22

26 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 pragmatic ways of giving purpose to the lived experience of members of workplaces and allows organizations to start down the path of systemic wellness and re-humanized workplaces where mental health stigma is no longer a barrier to recovery. With over a decade of experience in the field and a longstanding personal path to recovery to draw from, Canadian Forces veteran Stephane Grenier provides riveting new paradigms regarding mental health, recovery and resilience, in order to present a new way of looking at an old problem. His focus resides in providing solutions anchored in both personal experience and research findings of various well-known authors and theorists. Stéphane Grenier is a former member of the Canadian Military who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after serving for just over 29 years. Faced with undiagnosed PTSD after a deployment to Rwanda, Grenier took a personal interest in the way the Canadian Forces was dealing with mental health issues. In 2001, he coined the term "Operational Stress Injury" (OSI) and developed and managed a government-based national peer-support program for the Canadian Military. His work as OSI Special Advisor led to the launch of a second mental health program that delivers peer based mental health education to over 20,000 military personnel a year. In 2009, Grenier conceived of a corporate mental health awareness campaign that was endorsed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, the Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health. 10:15 am - 10:45 am / 10 h h 45 Nutrition Break / Pause santé Location / Lieu : Prefunction 10:45 am - 12:00 pm / 10 h h 00 Concurrent Sessions / Séances simultanées B1 - Re-Visioning the Future: A Mapping of the Whole of Our Field Online Location: Lecture Theatre (English - Simultaneous Interpretation) THURSDAY, May 8 / JEUDI, le 8 In the very near future virtually everything will be possible in virtual environments.

The presentation confirms that technology has the capacity to enhance the assessment process and to increase professional access to fair assessment practices that link to professional competencies. Appropriate use of technology is a critical component in recognizing population mobility and professional competency on a global scale.

B3 - Utilizing Chances in Careers Location: Esquimalt Despite the fact that environmental and extra-personal conditions and events can have a significant impact in one s life-career pathways and experiences, the role and influences of such chance factors in people s career wellbeing is substantially understudied in vocational and career psychology. As a result, there is a dearth of understanding on the chance construct and its correlation with human experience of coping with vocational and career problems in life. Perhaps this can be an understandable phenomenon because neither scholars nor practitioners in the helping profession want to depict life-career development as a predestination that is beyond human control. This presentation aims to offer a rationale for considering and integrating the chance construct in career development practice and counselling intervention. The notion of chance is conceptualized from both sociological perspectives on work, and concepts grounded in vocational and career psychology theories, contending that exercising human control in one s vocational life should take into serious consideration the chance factor that often emerges in life experiences. It discusses the chance phenomenon in worklife, elaborates considerations and ways of incorporating the chance construct in the career development process, and suggests the implications for self-helping and professional helping to promote vocational and career wellbeing.

B5 - Addressing the Critical Role of Workplace Stress and Vicarious Trauma for Mental Health Counsellors and Their Clients: Three Key Tools to Manage Compassion Location: Colwood In the course of their daily work with clients, counsellors and their community partners work in unique and highly specialized environments where teams are exposed to high stress and trauma content. The infrastructure of mental health treatment is increasingly complex and often features multidisciplinary and multi-agency collaborations and initiatives. The current fiscal, social and political climate has introduced an increased burden of reorganization, change, turnover, and resourcing challenges. All these elements place staff at increased risk for stress-related consequences. A large body of research clearly demonstrates higher rates of chronic stress effects in trauma-informed workplaces such as mental health services. Some of the most common effects include decreased physical health, mood disorders, substance use and dependency and interpersonal and relationship problems. Organizations carrying a burden of stress-related symptoms are seriously impacted, and research demonstrates effects on workplace environment such as lower productivity, low morale, increased conflict, rise in client 25

B6 Supporting the Success of Aboriginal and International Students in Post-Secondary Education Location: Salon B In Canadian post-secondary institutions, there is an emphasis on the recruitment and retention of specific groups of students, including Aboriginal and international students from around the globe. Given that these two culturally-diverse populations tend to have more challenges and higher attrition rates in higher education than domestic students, it is important to understand how to best support student success, and to examine ways in which current structures and systems could be changed to better accommodate their needs. In our research, we explored the experiences of Aboriginal and international students to learn more about student success stories, and how student services personnel, including counsellors and advisors could better prepare themselves to be more effective when working with these populations. In our presentation, using social constructionist and relational perspectives, we will highlight the common and unique characteristics of successful Aboriginal and international students using their own words, focus on the importance of relationships and community-building, and provide recommendations to counsellors and advisors for more relevant and effective ways of working with culturally-diverse students. Natalee Popadiuk is a counsellor educator at the University of Victoria. Her research focuses on international student transitions and adjustment in K-12 and post-secondary education.

B7 - Developing Reflective Practice in Clinical Supervision Location: Salon C Recently, there has been a growing recognition of the need for training to develop competence in clinical supervision among Canadian counsellors. In this session, an approach used with supervisors-in-training (SITS) will be presented. Participants will actively engage in activities involving self-reflection on personal experiences of supervision and role play to help them gain an awareness of best practices in supervision. They will also be introduced to the method of Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) (Kagan, 1984), as used in clinical supervision. IPR is a qualitative interview approach that has been used to access counsellor and client experiences by reviewing videotaped sessions and reflecting on the moment-to-moment interactions that occur. This method can be used by SITS to explore and analyze counsellor-client interactions with their supervisees.

30 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 B8 - Living Building Cultural Competency when Working with Traumatized Men: Inter-and Intra- Cultural Considerations Location: Viewroyal The intergenerational transmission of masculine norms begins as early as 5 years of age (Gilligan, 2004) and is culturally reinforced throughout men s lives, often through shame and threat of rejection (Tremblay and Turcotte, 2005). Messages against expression of emotion, connecting with others and seeking support are pervasive in masculine culture and are often at odds with the therapeutic goals of trauma recovery. Applying theory and research to specific case examples, this workshop presents an informed approach toward working with issues of masculine culture in therapy, particularly when working with traumatized men. Specific dynamics that may arise in therapy will be addressed, including the following: Identification and normalization of adherence to masculine norms and the protective functions they play in men s lives, while also working toward greater flexibility with and differentiation from such cultural pressures. Successfully navigating idealization and erotic transference with male clients working with female counsellors (from normalization to detecting and addressing more problematic transference). Attending to masculine gender role strain (Pleck, 1995), including effective ways to work therapeutically to build a working alliance with male clients who present with discrepancy, dysfunction and trauma strains. Becky Stewart, MA, is a director and trauma counsellor at Brookswood Counselling Services and is currently researching shame and masculinity in male sexual trauma survivors for her doctorate at UBC.

In the session, we will explore what shame is, how it impacts on GLBT clients and a few ways we can help clients reduce the shame they feel. Because religion can be a source of shame for GLBT clients, the role of religion in shame will be discussed. While this session will explore the shame dynamic, especially it relates to GLBT clients, the principles can apply to other client groups. Gary Simpson - MA (Guidance and Counselling), Ed.S. (Ed.

Au cours de la séance, nous explorerons ce qu est la honte, quelle est son incidence sur les clients GLBT et diverses façons d aider les clients à réduire leur sentiment de honte. Étant donné que la religion peut être une source de honte pour les clients GLBT, nous discuterons du rôle de la religion et de son rapport avec la honte. Bien que cette séance porte sur la dynamique de la honte principalement sous l angle des clients GLBT, les principes qui s en dégagent sont aussi applicables à d'autres clientèles.

B10 - The Current Regulatory Status of Counselling/Psychotherapy in Canada: A Cross Country Checkup Location: Saanich In the past five years, a major movement towards professional regulation of the counselling/psychotherapy profession in Canada has emerged. In this session, panelists will describe the status of regulation across Canada with particular focus on Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Ontario where the profession is regulated. Regulatory activities in BC, NB, and PEI will also be examined. Inter-provincial/territorial mobility of regulated professionals will be discussed in relation to the federal Agreement of Internal Trade. Several projects undertaken by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association to enhance the pan-canadian mobility of practitioners will be reviewed. There will be much to share and to discuss during this session. C-Chairs: Blythe Shepard, PhD, CCC, is CCPA President and past-chair of the Certification Committee.

32 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 B11 - Part A: Aboriginal Homelessness: Culture, Racism, and Counselling Location: Sidney Aboriginal peoples are over represented within the Canadian homeless population and are underserviced by counsellors and psychotherapist. As a whole population, this population faces multiple housing barriers related to poverty, access, literacy weaknesses, discrimination, colonization, addictions and mental health, and intergenerational trauma of residential school. Yet little is known about the details of the experiences of those living on the streets, and even less has been written about those who survive and thrive in street life settings, despite the mental health obstacles. The research focuses on Aboriginal peoples experiences of the supports, challenges, and barriers they have faced or are facing in lifestyles or episodes of homelessness in Toronto. Using a qualitative community-based methodology, we asked 20 Aboriginal individuals in narrative interviews: What supports, challenges, and barriers do Aboriginal youth experience with regard to harm reduction services, homelessness, and mental health? Results include metathemes of Concurrent Disorders, Culture Conflict and Racism, Harm Reduction Services, Healing, and Social Service System. The immediate issues facing this population in counselling are often a matter of survival, thus educating counsellors so that appropriate interventions and policies can be mobilized is vital. This session will address implications for counselling and concrete guidelines for practice. Suzanne Stewart (Yellowknife Dene First Nation) is a psychologist and Associate Professor in Counselling Psychology at OISE/ UT, where she is also Special Advisor the Dean on Aboriginal Education. B12 - Writing for Submission to the Canadian Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy and Other Professional Journals Location: Colwood E. B. White once wrote I admire anybody who has the guts to write anything. As a counsellor, graduate student, or professor, do you want to expand your identity by becoming an author of journal articles, but are uncertain how to do this? Frequently, there is lack knowledge of journal publication procedures with many finding the prospect of publishing intimidating. During this session, the Editor in Chief of the Canadian Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy (CJCP) will discuss writing for publication in professional journals and how manuscripts are processed by the CJCP. Additionally, this session will offer particular considerations for students with opportunity for discussion on the writing and publication process. Kevin Alderson is associate professor of counselling psychology at University of Calgary. His research interests include human sexuality, LGBTI studies, and addictions. He has had eight books published to date. THURSDAY, May 8 / JEUDI, le 8 B13 - Reflecting on "Self" and Practice: An Introduction to Internal Family Systems Therapy Location: Salon A Internal Family Systems Therapy is a non-pathologizing and collaborative model of therapy. Practitioners from the trauma community to those interested in integrating spirituality with psychotherapy have adopted many of its original techniques. The model has helped clinicians from all areas of mental health and public health, and their clients, understand and unburden the blocks to our most valuable resource: the Self. The results from a recent (2013) randomized controlled study, published in the Journal of Rheumatology, show that an IFSbased intervention had positive effects on patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), reducing pain and depressive symptoms, while improving physical function and self-compassion. The study is the first RC trial to assess the efficacy of IFS on medical patient outcomes. In this session, basic principles and methods of IFS will be introduced albeit in a novel way. It is important to periodically question taken-for-granted assumptions and practices; it is hoped this presentation facilitates your efforts to do that. Ken Hundert, MA, Psychology, MA, Political Science, Latin American Studies, CCC has a private practice and volunteers at two Toronto walk-in clinics. Ken values humour and healthy skepticism; skepticism which has value leads one to further study and investigation and herein lies the spirit of the presentation. 29

33 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm / 13 h h 45 B14- Clinical Supervision of Counsellors-in-Training Utilizing Online Technology Location: Salon B Advances in online and digital technology are changing the practice of clinical supervision in counsellor education. Effective supervision of students through the practicum experience is critical both for the development of the student as counsellor, as well as the safety and well-being of the clients with whom they interact in the process. In this presentation we describe an innovative practicum model in an online counselling psychology program. We will introduce how it is possible to deliver an effective learning experience through online, asynchronous formats and real time virtual classrooms. We will begin with an overview of pre-practicum activities using online collaboration platforms, webinars and e-portfolios that, combined, equip students to self-assess their counselling skills and knowledge against competency frameworks for Canadian counsellors and set specific practicum learning goals. The second part of the presentation will be an overview of the blended practicum and facilitation of clinical supervision through virtual sessions. We will discuss and demonstrate the use of video-conferencing as an opportunity for students to connect, communicate, and collaborate with their clinical supervisors and each other throughout their practicum experience. Ethical considerations regarding informed consent and confidentiality, and also security associated with the use of digital data will be addressed.

B15 - Second Order Employability Skills: What Really Makes You Employable? Location: Salon C The Conference Board of Canada released its Employability Skills Profile in 1992 as a framework for the generic skills that employers are looking for in prospective employees. In the ensuing 20 years this framework has been used in a variety of settings to facilitate the preparation of potential employees for the world of work. This participative workshop will consider the applicability of these skills to the present workplace and will seek to define a second order of values and characteristics that are required for successful employment. We will also consider the recently identified developmental changes in the transition to adulthood that make the current population of young adults unique in their approach to work. Using personenvironment fit as a foundation and examples of useful psycho-education and counselling, participants will learn how they can work with clients to help them become more employable, as well as more satisfied and satisfactory in their work.

B16 - Canadian and Nepali Counsellors: In Collaboration for Social Justice in Nepal Location: Viewroyal From social justice roots, Canadian counsellors are expanding their work through collaborations with counsellors and communities in international developing countries. In this paper, we outline the work of a group of Canadian counsellors who volunteer to supervise, educate, and consult with local lay counsellors in Pokhara, Nepal through the Nepal House Society. Social justice practices and a human rights approach ground the supervision, counselling, and educational practices as we collaborate with our Nepali colleagues. Through our contact and connections we negotiate the cultural intersections and share our learning related to the enlightening and perplexing challenges in cross-cultural work, and our appreciation of the close relationships that bond us as we work towards assisting and supporting traumatized Nepali children, their families, and their community.

Ce modèle a été utilisé avec un succès considérable auprès d une vaste gamme de clients, mais la principale clientèle ciblée est constituée d adultes sur le marché du travail. Dans cette séance, nous examinerons le modèle et fournirons aux participants la possibilité d en faire l essai sur eux-mêmes. Dave Redekopp, Ph. D., président, Life-Role Development Group Ltd., travaille en développement de carrière depuis 1988, un domaine qu il aime, qu il étudie, qu il promeut, dans lequel il s amuse, au sujet duquel il écrit, fait des recherches, discute et réfléchit. B17 - Part B: Engagement Plus - The Dynamic Interconnection of Work and Other Life Roles Location: Lecture Theatre (English - Simultaneous Interpretation) Employee engagement is a key focus within many organizations. However, counsellors recognize that all of an individual s life roles are interwoven and interdependent; simply addressing employee engagement creates expectations and workplace initiatives that are neither effective nor sustainable. The Career Engagement Model describes the importance of aligning individual/organizational capacity to the amount of challenge an individual encounters. Although many counsellors don t consider themselves career counsellors, for most adults, a significant portion of their time is spent working. Many issues addressed in counselling are rooted in a misalignment between challenge and capacity; too much challenge results in feelings of being overwhelmed but too little challenge creates 31

B17 - Partie B: L engagement «plus» - L interconnexion dynamique du rôle au travail et des autres rôles de la vie Lieu : Amphithéatre (Anglais présentation simultanée) (Préliminaire) L'engagement des employés est un élément clé au sein de nombreuses organisations. Toutefois, les conseillers reconnaissent que tous les rôles de la vie d'un individu sont liés et interdépendants; simplement aborder l engagement des employés crée des attentes et des initiatives en milieu de travail qui ne sont ni efficaces ni durables. Le modèle d engagement de carrière décrit l'importance d'aligner la capacité individuelle / organisationnelle à la quantité de défis qu affronte un individu. Bien que de nombreux conseillers ne se considèrent pas comme des «conseillers d'orientation», pour la plupart des adultes, une partie importante de leur temps est consacré au travail. Beaucoup des questions abordées dans les sessions de counseling sont enracinées dans un désalignement entre des défis et la capacité, trop de défis résulte en un sentiment d être débordé, mais trop peu de défi crée la frustration d'être sous-utilisé. Ces deux types de déséquilibres, s ils ne sont pas résolus, mènent à un désengagement. Joignez-vous à cette session afin d'examiner comment le modèle d'engagement de carrière sert de structure pour comprendre plusieurs questions sur e sujet d 'orientation; Quittez la session avec des conseils pratiques et des stratégies pour aider vos clients à réaligner leur niveau de défi à leur capacité actuelle dans les différents systèmes dans lesquels ils vivent travaillent.

Location: Saanich Research shows that therapist self-care is a critical part of providing other-care. While routinely teaching self-care practices to their clients, counselling therapists can experience barriers to practicing self-care themselves. Research also shows that diminished self-care practices can lead to counsellor burnout. Drawing from the presenter s thesis research, this hands-on session proposes using recorded music, in combination with imaginal listening, as a form of self-care practice aimed at mitigating the burnout-related effects of providing other-care. Attendees will participate in a Supportive Music and Imagery (SMI) session a receptive music therapy method aimed at deepening and broadening participant experiences of selfidentified positive inner resources. Specifically, attendees will engage in imaging within a supportive music environment and explore the use of music as a form of self-care. Analysis of data obtained from post-smi interviews during the presenter s thesis research identified themes of participant experiences of: (1) changes in relationship with self-care practice; (2) increased introspection, reflection, and self-awareness; and, (3) increased relaxation, release of stress, or sense of freedom. This session aims to provide therapists with an accessible, easy-to-implement form of self-care practice that may reduce the negative effects of providing other-care. No prior musical experience is required to participate in this session. Eric L. Ross, CCC, MT-BC, graduated from the MEd (Counselling) program at Acadia University.

36 3:15 pm - 4:30 pm / 15 h h 30 B19 Sand and Story: Integrating Sand Tray World Play with Narrative Therapy Location: Esquimalt In this interactive session, participants will see how Sand Tray Therapy can be integrated with Narrative Therapy reflecting team practice, group facilitation and supervision. Sand Tray is an expressive art therapy. Clients construct and reconstruct their worlds in the sand using miniature figures, objects from nature and art materials. The therapist guides and witnesses their experience, not interpreting, but making sense of the story together. Sand Tray provides a window from the sky to look at our lives in context, illustrating the relationships between people and things. Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, empowering approach. Each client is the hero of a unique story. This approach is about re-authoring that story to be more in keeping with values, identifying and stepping outside the boxes of socially constructed realities in order to make conscious choices about their influence. Narrative Therapy provides a language and a process for reconstruction. Integrating the two enhances the joy and meaning of clinical practice and helps bridge the sometimes isolated worlds of individual practitioners. Bonney Elliott is a family therapist in private practice in Ottawa. She also works as a nurse practitioner in a community health setting. B20 - Engaging Parents, Educators, and Community in Young Children's Learning: Career Development is a Dynamic and Interactional Process Location: Sidney We know that young children formulate a sense of self and an identity very early in their development. We also know that they do so through their interactions and experiences with family, the media, school, peers and the larger community. In this session, presenters will share initial data from a three year project examining the role played by parents, teachers/educators, and the community in young children's (preschool through grade three) career development. Qualitative data will be presented from this study that aims to address the role played by intentionality in parents' day-to-day interactions with their children and how this may effect career development. Parents are often unsure of how to impact their children's career development and often are reluctant to interfere. Sometimes parents and teachers of young children are kept out of the loop in career education until much later. Yet children gather opinions and perceptions from their experiences and interactions from their context. We hope to illustrate that career development is a dynamic and active process which begins very early in a child's development. Presenters will engage the participants in a discussion around involvement of parents, educators and community in young children's learning.

B21 - Adventure Therapy: Bringing Adventure Based Therapy Into the Counselling Office Location: Colwood Adventure therapy is the use of emotional and/or physical risk taking to promote positive change. Its not so scary, you don t have to take clients backpacking in the woods to use adventure therapy. I will present activities and a processing framework that will enable you to bring adventure therapy practices into your counselling office immediately. We will explore the various methods of facilitating adventure therapy and explain its connections to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and the Stages of Change Theory. Research will be shown demonstrating the usefulness of using this medium of therapy with children, teens, and adults. The strategies explored will be practical for individuals but will be more catered to a group therapeutic environment. Come ready to be active, participate, and engage in a variety of adventure activities. Collectively we will transform these activities into therapeutic tools.

B22 - A TOLA NW (SENĆOŦEN): A Time of Hope and Respecting One Another Integrating Traditional Knowledge and Counselling Practice for Indigenous Communities Location: Salon A In this symposium, we focus on counselling issues, practice and training implications shared by educators and students involved in the University of Victoria s Indigenous Communities Counselling (ICC) program. Working in collaboration with Indigenous knowledge keepers and community leaders, the ICC program supports students and educators to integrate traditional Indigenous helping values with mainstream counselling approaches, through Indigenous-centred and decolonized learning opportunities. Through participating in the program, students and educators have developed innovative strategies for integrating traditional knowledge into helping practice and community internships, in ways that are respectful and relevant to the Aboriginal community. We will outline key principles and strategies that inform counselling practice with Indigenous youth, families and groups. Themes include relational ways of knowing and being, bicultural identity development and the experience of walking in two worlds, traditional and scared teachings in practice and scholarship, and the development of critical reflection in helping and research.

B23 The Therapeutic Power of Metaphors from the Natural World Location: Salon B Metaphors are more than just figures of speech. They define the very way we think about, talk about, and interpret our experience. (Lakoff, 1987; Lakoff and Johnson, 2003). For some clinicians, psychotherapy is mainly about helping clients become conscious of this effect (Siegelman, 1990). It is about freeing them from metaphors that bind them to old ways of understanding themselves, and helping them discover new ones that allow a more generous, more expansive, more comprehensive story to be told (Siegelman, 1990; Lyness and Thomas, 1995). This presentation will teach counsellors ways to harness the therapeutic power of metaphors from the natural world. It will be based around slide images of several different life forms, from marine animals to insects to cedar trees. Each image will be carefully unpacked for the unique lessons it teaches by way of metaphor. Then, with these lessons in mind, participants will be invited to consider the ways client self-narratives might be re-written in more productive, self-compassionate ways.

40 9:00 am - 10:15 am / 9 h h 15 C1 - Applying a CBT Intervention to the Application of a CBT Intervention Location: Lecture Theatre (English - Simultaneous Interpretation) Recent debates have focused on the benefits and costs of privileging particular orientations (and strict fidelity to that orientation s techniques) over others, thereby reducing the menu of therapeutic options from which clinicians can draw from in doing evidence-based work. Having both been trained in and completed practicums using the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) approach, we began to wonder how it might look to implement a CBT intervention upon a CBT practitioner who practices strictly by the book, talking about their adherence to the CBT manual. We became interested in the notion of how rigidly adhering to one therapeutic approach (in this case, CBT) might sometimes go against the actual practice of the intervention itself. In this presentation we provide a case study illustrating the steps and outcomes of an applied CBT intervention with a CBT practitioner. We will examine potential maladaptive thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as homework, mood logs and other CBT tasks that may be employed to encourage reflexivity in the use of therapeutic approaches in our own practice of counselling. In this presentation we invite discussion about how rigidly adhering to the principles in practice of CBT might be at odds with the practice itself. Tanya Mudry is a PhD candidate in Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on interactions and practices involved in sustaining and impeding excessive behaviours. Emily Doyle is a PhD candidate in Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary. Her doctoral research focuses on the organization of recovery work in the field of addictions counselling. C1 - Appliquer une intervention de TCC au processus d application d une intervention de TCC Lieu : Amphithéâtre (Anglais - interprétation simultanée) (Intermédiaire) Dans de récents débats, on a abordé la question des avantages et des coûts associés au fait de privilégier des orientations théoriques particulières (et la stricte observance des techniques qui en découlent) plutôt que d autres, réduisant du même coup la gamme des options thérapeutiques dont les cliniciens peuvent s inspirer dans leur travail fondé sur des données probantes. FRIDAY, May 9 / VEDNREDI, le 9 Ayant à la fois reçu une formation en thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (TCC) et effectué des stages centrés sur cette approche, nous avons commencé à nous demander ce qu il adviendrait si nous appliquions une intervention de TCC à un praticien de TCC de stricte obédience, en discutant de son adhésion aux principes théoriques de la TCC. Nous avons souhaité à déterminer dans quelle mesure le fait d adhérer de façon stricte à une approche thérapeutique donnée (en l occurrence la TCC) peut parfois aller à l encontre du principe même d application de ce type d intervention. Dans le cadre de cette présentation, nous proposons une «étude de cas», qui illustre les étapes et les résultats d une intervention de TCC appliquée à un praticien de la TCC. Nous examinerons les possibles idées, sentiments et comportements mésadaptés, ainsi que les tâches à domicile, les journaux de l humeur et autres tâches de TCC que l on peut employer pour favoriser la réflexivité dans le recours aux approches thérapeutiques que l on utilise dans sa propre pratique. Au cours de la présentation, nous suscitons la discussion suivante : en quoi le fait d adhérer de façon stricte aux principes de la TCC dans la pratique pourrait venir en contradiction avec la pratique elle-même. Tanya Mudry est doctorante en psychologie du counseling à l Université de Calgary. Sa recherche porte sur les interactions et les pratiques qui interviennent pour soutenir et entraver les comportements excessifs. Emily Doyle est doctorante en psychologie du counseling à l Université de Calgary. Sa recherche de doctorat porte sur l organisation du travail de récupération dans le domaine du counseling en matière de toxicomanie. 37

41 9:00 am - 10:15 am / 9 h h 15 C2 - Part A: The Legacy of Dr. Vance Peavy: Constructivist Psychology s Contributions to Counselling Location: Saanich The Legacy of Dr. Vance Peavy: Constructivist Psychology s Contributions to Counselling: Where to next? This presentation will focus on Vance Peavy and his influence on counselling in Canada and beyond. At the time of Dr. Peavy s passing over a decade ago, the counselling profession was just beginning to fully acknowledge the limitations of Western approaches. Further, postmodern approaches such as narrative, solution focused and constructivist-oriented approaches were in their infancy stage. Much has happened since that time that we now have the luxury of learning from. The presentation features aspects of Peavy s work and it also illustrates how we now have a different awareness of contemporary issues. Coined by Dr. Peavy, the term "socio-dynamic counselling" has now expanded to include the kinds of practices that focus on individuals and communities in context, culturally sensitive approaches, and the kinds of interventions that respond to the needs of an increasingly over saturated society. The presentation is both a tribute and an extension of Dr. Peavy s contributions. Future directions will be explored and promising implications for practice will be highlighted. Marie Hoskins is a full professor in the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria. She teaches constructively oriented approaches when working in counselling settings. C2 - Part B: Canadian School Counsellors: How They Perceive Their Roles and Responsibilities Location: Saanich During this session we will review some of the results obtained in a 2012 survey titled School Counsellor's Perceptions of Their Roles and Responibilites. Data collected during the summer of 2012 revealed that school counsellors are an integral component of the Canadian School system but often are limited in the execution of their duties due to amount of time assigned to schools or they are often assigned to noncounselling tasks. Some schools share counsellors and this can skew the number of students on caseloads. These factors could also affect general relationships between counsellors, students, parents, teachers and administrators. Generally, the research indicated that school counsellors estimated they spent less than 40% in individual counselling sessions. They apparently spend more time completing general paperwork than student specific documents. Other findings will be shared and their implications discussed. Lorette Tataryn has a Master's degree. Her career spans from community social services to School Coounellor in public and private schools. Collaborates with teachers implementing Social Emotional Learning Programs. C3 - Facilitating an Introduction to Mindfulness: Tools for Teaching the Formal and Informal Practices to Clients and Students Location: Sidney Mindfulness is a way of learning how to purposely pay attention, with the qualities of acceptance and kindness, in the present moment. Mindfulness-based interventions have been identified as being useful and relevant to integrate into the counselling and education settings for a variety of presenting issues, and for the maintenance of mental health and resilience. This presentation is grounded in the experience of teaching adapted forms of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and meditation to various populations, such as university students and counselling clients, over the past ten years. Discussion will include the foundational qualities of mindfulness, tools for teaching clients and students how to establish formal and informal mindfulness practice, and the importance of the facilitator continuing to cultivate their own practice. Experiential activities will include a mindfulness meditation practice and a demonstration of mindfulness being introduced to a client. Jenny Rowett is a university instructor (UNB Fredericton), researcher, counsellor, kinesiologist, and yoga and meditation teacher. She seeks to integrate mindfulness-based interventions into psychotherapy, education, and healthcare. C4 - Don t Just Talk About It- Do It!: An Experiential Approach to Group Counselling Location: Colwood As counsellors, we are often asked to do group sessions focusing on the development of specific skills and targeting particular issues. Assertiveness and communication skills, handling feelings and self-regulation, peer relationships and problem solving FRIDAY, May 9 / VENDREDI, le 9 mai 38

42 9:00 am - 10:15 am / 9 h h 15 are often targeted areas. While there are many excellent programs and workbooks that address these competencies, they are often discussion-based or paper and pencil tasks that participants may have difficulty applying when needed in real situations. This workshop will focus on experiential approaches to group work, including group challenges, games, and playbased activities. These types of activities are often more easily transferable to different real-world situations, and more meaningful to participants. They are also more interactive, physically and emotionally engaging, and more fun, and so will appeal to participants with various learning styles and intelligences. Experiential, challenge-based activities can be used in school settings and with various community groups of different ages and backgrounds. We will cover the basics of experiential approaches, tips for running smooth activities and sessions, and post-activity processing questions, which are of critical importance in maximizing the learning experience for participants. Get ready to try out a few activities during the session yourself - after all, the focus is on experiential learning! Lara Dempster has worked with children and youth for twenty-five years, in outdoor experiential education and leadership development, high school classrooms as a teacher, and, currently, as an elementary school counsellor.

43 9:00 am - 10:15 am / 9 h h 15 C6 - Trauma-Informed Practice: A Foundation for Safety in Counselling and Interprofessional Collaboration Location: Salon B Trauma-informed practice has slowly gained acceptance as best practice in counselling through research on the neurobiological affects of early trauma and the most effective means of treatment and support. Through the development and delivery over the past three years of customized trauma-informed practice (TIP) training for practitioners in a variety of professions, we have found that this information provides counsellors as well as other helping practitioners a safe foundation for approaching most client issues related to mental health and addictions. We have also witnessed the appropriateness of trauma-informed practice to become the common language between professionals and paraprofessionals working at interprofessional collaboration in efforts to better support clients who are accessing services through many agencies. In this interactive session, we will cover the design of our program, giving examples of how it can be applied to a variety of practices. We will also present specific strategies that we and the practitioners we train have found to be most effective in helping to stabilize and reconnect clients whose lives have been defined by their trauma response. Resources will also be discussed and shared and we welcome input and discussion from the audience. Linda O'Neill is an Associate Professor in Counselling at the University of Northern, B.C. She specializes in research and practice on complex trauma and northern practitioner support.

Integrating Sexuality into Your Counselling Practice Location: Viewroyal Let's face it: sexuality is a part of our lives and often an important topic for our clients. Yet, are we prepared to talk about sexuality issues with our clients? Culturally, a dichotomy of hypersexualization and the taboo regarding sexuality persists, and counsellors are not immune to such messages. A split exists between the fields of psychotherapy and sex therapy, training is difficult to access for sexuality-related counselling, and inconsistent training is provided in current North American graduate psychology education. A review of the literature indicates that sexuality issues commonly arise in counselling practice and that counsellors often feel ill-prepared for counselling clients presenting with sexuality issues. In this hands-on, interactive, and activity-based workshop, delegates are supported in increasing their awareness of sexuality within the counselling room and comfort in talking about sexuality with their clients. Delegates are supported in examining their own attitudes, values, biases, and blind spots regarding various sexuality issues and topics, and how this affects their counselling practice. Nina Sangra is pursuing a Master of Counselling at Athabasca University, and has worked in sexual health and trauma. Her research is focused on sexuality training of graduate psychology students. Jillian Thompson holds an MA (Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University) and has extensive experience in both sexual education and youth ministry.

The university years are when many individuals formulate clearer career plans and begin to develop committed romantic relationships. Although researchers and practitioners have examined both these issues in depth, they are rarely considered together. This is problematic because many clients do not separate their relationships concerns from their career planning. Instead, for clients in committed relationships, finding a way to pursue both their own and their partner s goals for the future is a central issue in their career planning. In this interactive discussion, the presenter will draw on existing research and clinical experience to: (a) provide an overview of the current state of knowledge on the intersection of relationship and career during the school to work transition, (b) highlight common issues experienced by clients who are attempting to balance their relationship and career goals; and (c) describe suggestions for counselling practice with university students who are struggling with these issues. José F. Domene is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of New Brunswick, where he holds a Canada Research Chairship in School-to-Work-Transition. FRIDAY, May 9 / VEDNREDI, le 9 Jennie Howatt C9 Les préoccupations relationnelles et la planification de carrière durant la transition des études au marché du travail : suggestions pour l exercice du counseling Lieu : Amphithéâtre (Anglais interprétation simultanée) (Préliminaire) Cette séance consistera en une discussion interactive portant sur le recoupement des préoccupations relationnelles amoureuses et de la planification de carrière à venir chez les jeunes gens qui effectuent une transition entre les études postsecondaires et le marché du travail. Pour de nombreuses personnes, les années universitaires correspondent à la période où elles forment des plans de carrière plus précis, tout en s engageant dans des relations amoureuses. Bien que les chercheurs et praticiens aient bien examiné ces deux aspects, il est rare qu on les analyse simultanément. Or, cela pose un problème, car de nombreux clients prennent en compte simultanément leurs préoccupations relationnelles et leur planification de carrière. Ainsi, les clients engagés dans une relation tentent de trouver une façon de poursuivre leurs propres objectifs d avenir et ceux de leur partenaire, et cela constitue un enjeu central dans leur planification de carrière. Lors de cette discussion interactive, le présentateur fera appel à la recherche actuelle et à l expérience clinique pour : (a) donner un aperçu de l état actuel des connaissances sur le recoupement entre les relations et la carrière durant la transition des études au marché du travail; (b) mettre en lumière des problèmes courants vécus par les clients qui tentent de trouver l équilibre entre leurs objectifs relationnels et de carrière; (c) décrire des suggestions pour la pratique du counseling auprès d étudiants universitaires qui sont aux prises avec ce genre de problèmes. 41

It can also be a powerful way to overcome emotional distance fomented from unspoken silences. The objective of the Gesher Project, a multidisciplinary therapeutic intervention for Holocaust survivors and their first-generation offspring, was to process trauma and bridge the emotional distance between the generations. The therapeutic approaches included art, writing, and group therapy. This presentation will focus on the art therapy methods and outcomes of the project.

Michael Dayan is a clinical counsellor and instructor at the University of the Fraser Valley and City University of Seattle Vancouver Campus. Linda Frimer is an acclaimed Vancouver artist and co-founder of the Gesher Project. She is currently writing a book on her methods and experiences. C14 - Sharing Circles as a Means of Bridging Counselling and Culture: Communicating, Connecting, and Collaborating with Aboriginal Women Location: Salon B Aboriginal women hold the reins for the well-being of the family and the community (Julien, Zinni, and Wright, 2009). As such, it is the women that are the nurturers and keepers of cultural beliefs and practices that promote health and well-being. Aboriginal women are relational and family orientated (Offet-Gartner, 2011), holding the value that to help one is to help many. This value coupled with a strong belief to see all children as if they were her children; thereby her responsibility to assist, behooves counsellors to find efficacious ways to connect, communicate, and collaborate. Given these deeply rooted cultural values and beliefs, women hold a great deal of responsibility and a heavy burden to carry, especially if carried alone; yet so few counselling interventions are geared toward assisting Indigenous women to support one another. Such interventions would focus on the individual in conjunction with the relational realities and cultural responsibilities being faced. One such intervention employs the wisdom of Sharing Circles a long established cultural practice where women come together to share and support one another. Healthy women often lead to healthy children and strong families, thereby increasing the health and well-being of the community and the culture. Join us! FRIDAY, May 9 / VEDNREDI, le 9 Kathy Offet-Gartner holds a PhD in counselling psychology, counsels at Mount Royal University in Calgary and practices from a holistic, strengths-based approach, addressing trauma, abuse, addiction, and oppression. C15 - Part A: Is the Glass Half-Full? The Impact of Optimism and Hope on Work-Life Success and Satisfaction Location: Salon C Optimism has been identified as the single best predictor of both career success and job satisfaction and recent research highlighted hope as a better predictor of post-secondary success than standardized tests. Not surprisingly, counsellors are increasingly recognizing the importance of hope for successfully navigating a wide range of life challenges. Some of our clients seem to have a natural abundance of these positive characteristics constantly seeing the glass as half full even in the most challenging times. Others come to us with a deficit of hope and a pessimistic attitude; they have a hard time seeing anything but the emptiness of the glass. As counsellors, it can be hard walking alongside pessimistic clients, students, or members of the workforce who ve lost hope yet those are the very ones who need counselling the most. In this session, through a review of the literature and case examples, learn the importance of restoring hope and bolstering optimism. Leave with practical tips and strategies for facilitating hope and helping your clients see new possibilities in their lives and work. Roberta Neault, CCC, CCDP is president of Life Strategies Ltd., Associate Dean at Yorkville University, an award-winning counsellor-educator, and co-author of Career Flow: A Hope-Centered Approach to Career Development. 43

John O'Donahue How does one assist a client in dealing with the impact of unexpected experiences and moments of chaos in their life, and on their future life/work decisions? The presenters will engage participant s in the use of hindsight to explore when one door closes another opens, in order to bring sense to the chaos and deepen meaning and direction in their life. Practical exercises and small group discussion will be used to demonstrate applications of Happenstance and Chaos Theory of Careers. Use of these career lenses will assist career counsellors to work with client s unplanned life circumstances in order to increase and affirm their identity awareness. Clarence De Schiffart, MEd (Counselling), RSW, is the Coordinator of Career and Essential Skills Services at the Nova Scotia Community College. He loves volunteering and spending time in the outdoors. Laurie Edwards, MPA., is the Director, Career and Counselling Services for the Nova Scotia Community College. Laurie is passionate about bringing diverse communities together for positive change. C16 - A Group-Based Trauma Intervention for Military Trauma Using an Interpersonal Process Recall Method Location: Viewroyal In this session, the findings of a recent study among Australian veterans will be presented. Using an interactive research method, Interpersonal Process Recall, the researchers interviewed veterans who reviewed their own videotape of a groupbased trauma intervention (Therapeutic Enactment). This stop-start procedure of reviewing their experience of the trauma intervention yielded significant insights for the veterans and the researchers. A new insight regarding client outcome involved the addition of the in-depth IPR interview itself. A video clip of one IPR interview will be shown to illustrate the procedures and relevance of this method for trauma counselling. A discussion of the most significant findings will be addressed along with implications for counsellors working with clients who are exposed to war conflict. Marla Buchanan is a Professor in Counselling Psychology at The University of British Columbia. Her research and clinical interests are in psychological trauma and narrative research methods. Marvin Westwood is a Professor in Counselling Psychology at The University of British Columbia.

At times we may be frustrated with our in ability to working effectively with First Nation peoples from a clinical and a culture safety perspective. However, it is here where we need to sit back and consider that western approaches and First Nation intervention maybe contradictory and yet at the some time may be mutually beneficial. It is hoped through this presentation that you will explore and develop a framework when providing therapeutic intervention to First Nations/ Aboriginal peoples. Peter Menzies is member of Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation, and has spent the past thirteen years building culturally congruent mental health and addiction programs in partnership with both urban, rural and First Nations communities through his work at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

FRIDAY, May 9 / VEDNREDI, le 9 Travailler avec les peoples autochtones : les stratégies d intervention traditionnelles et la psychothérapie Lieu : Amphithéâtre (Anglais - Interprétation simultanée) Bon nombre d entre nous auront éventuellement, si ce n est déjà le cas, l occasion de travailler auprès des peuples autochtones (Premières Nations) en pratique privée ou au sein de leurs organisations respectives. Il peut parfois s avérer frustrant d être incapable de travailler efficacement auprès de cette clientèle sur le plan clinique et du point de vue de la sécurité culturelle. Toutefois, c est en l occurrence ce qui justifie la nécessité de prendre du recul et de se rendre compte que les approches occidentales et l'intervention auprès des Premières Nations peuvent sembler contradictoires, et pourtant, dans certains cas, elles peuvent aussi s'avérer mutuellement bénéfiques. Cette présentation nourrit l espoir que vous serez amenés à explorer et à élaborer un cadre applicable à la prestation d'interventions thérapeutiques auprès des autochtones et des personnes issues des Premières Nations. Peter Menzies est membre de la Première Nation de Sagamok Anishnawbek et s est consacré, au cours des treize dernières années, à mettre en place des programmes de santé mentale et de lutte à la toxicomanie adaptés à la réalité culturelle, en partenariat avec les collectivités urbaines, rurales et autochtones, grâce à son travail au Centre de toxicomanie et de santé mentale. Thérapeute et organisateur communautaire chevronné, Peter a acquis de l expérience auprès de personnes et de familles dans le cadre de programmes de protection de l enfance, de counseling familial et de soutien du revenu; il est membre de l Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des techniciens en travail social de l'ontario.
