Alberta Family Caregiver Strategy and Action Plan

Guided by principles of co-produ…
Taking a Collaborative Approach to Build a Better System to Support Alberta’s Family Caregivers
Family caregivers, the largest and often invisible care workforce, provide 90% of care and face significant challenges. This session highlights Alberta's efforts to create an integrated care system, involving caregiver and patient voices, building health and community partnerships, and fostering caregiver-friendly workplaces and policies

Communities of Difference
In this article, Michelle Fine, Lois Weis, and Linda Powell juxtapose three different school communities and the schools' various approaches to dealing with differences among their students. They use notions of equal status contact theory, supplemented by three literatures — those of community, difference, and democracy, to discuss three desegregated spaces on a continuum, from one in which racial differences are unquestioned and racist discourse…
