The Community Breastfeeding Collaborative of Guelph is excited to offer this educational event on Wednesday, May 25th, 2016 in Fergus, Ontario.
Our keynote speaker is Dr Cindy-Lee Dennis, a professor/researcher from the University of Toronto with 140 + published peer reviewed articles. She also holds two major research chairs in the province. She focuses her research on methods that improve breastfeeding outcomes, postpartum depression, supporting fathers postpartum and enabling immigrant women.
We will also hear from several other key informants who will help enhance our knowledge about barriers mothers may face to reach their feeding goals.
This event is open to any professionals or peers who work to support new families. It takes a village...we hope you can join our village on May 25th, 2016.

Amanda Warburton writes: The number of people with alcohol related dementia (also called alcohol related brain disorder) is increasing and we are looking at the best way to support people with this illness.
There are no clear referral pathways at the moment as the condition doesn’t fit into traditional dementia services, nor older people’s services, and mental health services don’t treat people with current excessive alcohol use.
Similarly, alcohol treatment services can work with the person on reducing or abstaining from alcohol but can’t support the cognitive issues that are part of the illness.
If you can share information about successful pathways, Cambridgeshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team would be really pleased to hear from you
