Jennifer Roach
Teepa Snow’s Positive Physical Approach to Dementia Care 
Using Teepa Snow’s trademarked method to assess, connect, and get started on an action in a positive and person centred way, Jennifer will show you how to use the skills and abilities the person living with dementia has left to help them with their activities of daily living. 

Lisa Lewis
Embracing Neurodiversity: Simple Adjustments for a Unified Team
Lisa will share her lived experiences and insights on the reality of neurodiversity in the workplace. Recognizing that we are all complex individuals, she emphasizes that supporting neurodiversity should go hand-in-hand with meeting the needs of everyone on the team. Drawing from her journey and expertise, Lisa will explore the crucial role of communication and demonstrate how simple adjustments can enhance productivity, retention, and team culture. 

Amenda Kumar and Arvin Cajigas 
Navigating Mental Health at Work 
The importance of mental health in the workplace is just as important as physical safety, which is why psychological safety is an emerging topic for many workers. In this session, we will show you how to maintain positive mental health and resilience in the workplace, as well as tips and tools on crafting a healthier path back to work for those who may have experienced a physical or psychological injury.
