Community Event

This community of practice and launch webinar are hosted by Ontario Health. 

This webinar is presented by the Substance Use Health Network and the Reclaim Collective

Join us for a powerful conversation with  Julia Reid, a PhD candidate at the Lyle S. Hallman School of Social Work, Wilfrid Laurier University, whose research and clinical practice are transforming how peer work is understood, substance use, and mental health.

Julia brings together lived/living experience, clinical insight, and academic rigour to challenge biomedical dominance and highlight the invaluable expertise of people who’ve been psychiatrized, diagnosed, or criminalized as “addicts.”

This webinar is presented by the Ontario Caregiver Organization

When care providers include caregivers as partners in care, communication improves, staff experience less stress, and care is enhanced. It's a win for everyone, but the process can feel overwhelming. 

How do you train caregivers or already-overwhelmed staff? What about getting buy-in from leadership or care recipient confidentiality? And how can you know something will actually work in your setting? 

This event is presented by the Lung Health Foundation.

Better Breathing Week 2026 marks the 43rd annual gathering of healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and patient advocates dedicated to advancing lung health across Canada.
