This event is presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities.

Get ready to switch things up—literally. In "The Topping and Bottoming of Change Management for Gender Affirming Care," we will explore power dynamics, leadership roles, and the push-pull of navigating change in healthcare systems. Whether you're topping from the frontlines or bottoming in the boardroom, this workshop dives into how to flex your strategy, handle resistance, and, yes, safely consent to a bit of chaos. Expect insight, a little sass, and a lot of practical tools for advocating gender-affirming practices that don't just stick—they slay.

Come join Michelle Hurtubise (CEO, Centretown Community Health Centre) for this third Lunch & Learn from the Alliance’s 2SLGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee.

This in-person event is hosted by Community Foundation for Kingston & Area.

This one-day symposium is focused on strengthening collaboration, capacity, and connection for those who support older adults in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox, and Addington (KFL&A) region. This event will bring together service providers, community organizations, and advocates to share knowledge, build skills, and explore innovative ways to foster connection and belonging. Through a dynamic lineup of guest speakers and engaging learning sessions, participants will gain practical tools and knowledge to implement in their work and lives, helping to create more connected and supportive communities. Whether you’re a professional, volunteer, or community member, this symposium is an opportunity to learn, connect, and collaborate for meaningful change.

# About the Workshop.

Storytelling is a powerful knowledge-sharing tool that can help you connect with your audience, get your message across, and be memorable-at conferences, retreats, meetings, and anywhere you speak about your work. It’s also useful when describing the impact of your work to funders and the general public, or when developing knowledge translation products, such as videos.

# We will:

• Explore the art of storytelling as a method to communicate your work, engage others, and inspire action
• Examine real examples of stories that have been developed based on scientific projects and annual reports
• Debunk five myths of science storytelling
• Learn how to prepare, structure, and tell a story well
• Discuss the importance of considering/measuring a story’s impact
