L.I.F.E. Based Service

Transforming Day Services – Take 3 Program

Join us for an interactive two day experience filled to the brim with learning, doing, reflecting, and sharing.

You will be guided through the days by the Service Designers and Trialers- folks who built the new service on the ground, shaping it through the experience and wisdom of individuals, families, service providers and CLBC staff from all around the Province. Subsequent to CLBC’s L.I.F.E. Based Service Pilot in the Fall, CLBC anticipates that L.I.F.E. Based Services will be available across the Province.

Have you been providing or using services that sound a lot like The L.I.F.E. Based Service?
Is this L.I.F.E. Based Service totally new for you?

Either way we know you’ll come away from our two days together with an increased awareness of the principles and key design features of L.I.F.E. Based Services and we hope you come away eagerly anticipating next steps and ready to join a growing community of champions getting ready to make L.I.F.E. Based Services happen in your community.

When:  October 24 – 25, 2019

Where:  Coast Coal Harbour Hotel

1180 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4R5

About the Conference: The term developmental disabilities (DD) refers to individuals with intellectual disability, autism spectrum, fetal alcohol spectrum and related neurodevelopmental genetic syndromes. Children, youth, and adults with DD are vulnerable to high rates of general health and mental health concerns. This interactive 2018 conference will focus on practical strategies and partnerships to optimize their potential. Our goal is to help clinicians and caregivers learn effective ways to work with individuals with DD, and their families, in partnership to improve their quality of life experience. The conference will also provide educational and informative psychiatric, behavioural, mental health, and complex physical health updates specific to individuals with DD, and showcase best practices in the field. This conference will engage health care providers and educators from a wide range of professional disciplines in knowledge transfer and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review evidence based clinical best practices in physical, mental health and education for individuals with DD
  • Explore new research in physical, mental health and education for individuals with DD
  • Identify core issues and challenges facing individuals with DD and their families
  • Consider ways to build partnerships to maximize health and wellbeing
  • Develop connections, share knowledge and common experiences with individuals and service providers involved in the field of DD
