Towards Shared Purpose: The role of research in legitimizing holistic community care practices and advocating for change
On April 2nd from 12:00-2:00pm
This month's Lunch and Learn: Learning Community Showcase will be featuring speakers from Welcome Haven and Li-Ber-T House
- The multi-year learning relationship between Concordia’s Prof. Felice Yuen and Liane Berry’s Li-Ber-T House initiative is working towards identifying and piloting best practices in post-incarceration and post-rehabilitation services, and making them a reality across Montreal and the province.
- Anchored in a research framework but offered in partnership with local community organisations, the Welcome Haven initiative offers comprehensive psycho-social supports to asylum-seeking families. In documenting the impacts of their participatory-action research, Dr. Rachel Kronick and Dr. Keven Lee aim to generate evidence for social and health policy to prevent stress-related disorders in migrant parents and children.

This month we are saying goodbye to two staff members, Akina (Ecosystem Activation Coordinator) and Claire Gaëlle (Communications Coordinator). In their respective times at SHIFT, both Akina and Claire Gaëlle played fundamental roles in moving SHIFT forward, supporting our partners, and building strong foundations for our future.
We wish them both the best on their next adventures - you will be sorely missed!
