Par Robert J. Flynn, Meagan Miller, Tessa Bell, Barbara Greenberg, Cynthia Vincent. 2023
La maltraitance est généralement considérée comme étant la forme d’adversité la plus grave à laquelle peuvent être confrontés les enfants…
et les adolescents. Les jeunes victimes de mauvais traitement qui présentent le niveau de risque le plus élevé sont susceptibles d’être prises en charge dans des structures extrafamiliales – familles d’accueil, soins intrafamiliaux, foyers de groupe ou vie autonome – pour leur propre protection. Young People in Out-of-Home Care est le compte rendu des travaux de recherche appliquée et d’évaluation effectués depuis plus de 20 ans dans le cadre du programme S’occuper des enfants en Ontario (SOCEN), qui a vu le jour en 2000.Le programme SOCEN est fondé sur une nouvelle approche en matière d’aide sociale à l’enfance appelée « S’occuper des enfants » (Looking After Children) développée au Royaume-Uni à la fin des années 1980 et dans les années 1990. Cette approche visait à réformer et à améliorer les services offerts aux enfants et aux jeunes vulnérables qui étaient pris en charge dans des structures extrafamiliales. Lors de son démarrage en 2000, le programme SOCEN a « canadianisé » l’approche britannique et a établi des partenariats avec l’Association ontarienne des sociétés de l’aide à l’enfance et une vingtaine de sociétés d’aide à l’enfance de la province. Depuis 2007, le gouvernement de l’Ontario exige que les sociétés d’aide à l’enfance de la province utilisent la méthode SOCEN dans la planification de leurs services et le suivi des résultats.Depuis l’an 2000, le programme S’occuper des enfants en Ontario (SOCEN) a recueilli des données sur les résultats et le bien-être en interviewant plus de 35 000 jeunes pris en charge ainsi que leurs soignantes et soignants et leurs intervenantes et intervenants en services d’aide sociale à l’enfance. Young People in Out-of-Home Care présente les principales conclusions et recommandations du programme qui permettront d’améliorer l’éducation, le développement, la santé, les relations sociales et familiales de même que la santé mentale des enfants et des jeunes, ainsi que leur transition vers la vie communautaire.Challenges in Public Health Governance: The Canadian Experience
Par Dr Claude Rocan. 2012
Challenges in Public Health Governance: The Canadian Experience is an examination of public health from a governance perspective. Part 1…
begins with an examination of the fragmented nature of public health in Canada, identifies some major fault lines that characterize the public health realm, and reviews briefly the notion of network governance. Part 2 looks at specific public health theatres: crisis issues such as SARS and the HlNl pandemic, and the ongoing work of the Canadian Heart Health Initiative. It also examines the Pan-Canadian Public Health Network as the key piece of network infrastructure at the national level. It seeks to demonstrate that current governance structures and mechanisms are inadequate to deal with the governance challenges facing public health, and that network governance, appropriately applied, is a means through which public health in Canada can better achieve its objectives. Part 3 examines the nature of the relationships with the voluntary sector and discovers that much of the potential of these organizations to contribute to public health is being lost.Grow Your Own Herbal Remedies: How to Create a Customized Herb Garden to Support Your Health & Well-Being

can accent her God-given beauty using the hidden treasures of the ancient Scriptures-where every scent and every act of beautification had spiritual and emotional significance.A woman's longing to present herself as physically beautiful is universal. Beauty is extolled throughout the Bible as complementing God's plan for women's lives. There are currently no books that examine the beauty practices of biblical women, the plants and products God created to accent their beauty, and the spiritual roots of feminine rituals.Beautiful women abound in the Bible: Queen Esther, the bride of Solomon, Delilah, Rachel, Sarah, and more. Their beauty was a gift from God, and God also supplied the many foods, spices, and oils that perfected each woman's appearance. In Beauty Secrets of the Bible, Ginger Garrett helps readers accent their God-given beauty using these secrets.Women who read the book will understand the essential oils and fragrances mentioned in Scripture (and why they are making a comeback) and will be able to create a regimen based on all-natural ancient products and techniques. Beauty Secrets of the Bible gives readers what other beauty books lack: the knowledge that a woman's unique earthly beauty is indeed a blessing from God that can be cultivated.Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer

Par Dee Phyllis Genetti. 2024
This book tells the author’s story of her ten-year journey of recovery and identity transformation from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).…
Dr. Dee is a survivor who regained the ability to articulate what many TBI survivors cannot, and this powerful account, provided in real-time, portrays the many seemingly unrelatable symptoms of brain injury and subsequent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dr. Dee portrays how events pushed her beyond her limits and resulted in life-altering learning experiences, revealing a process of first figuring out how to live, then making meaning of her struggle.When half-way through her PhD program, Dr. Dee was crashed into by a car travelling at 65 miles per hour. She suffered a TBI. She lost her ability to read and write. She had a severe speech impediment and significantly impaired memory. Her journey of recovery, described in the book as her trek, spans four significant periods. The road begins with the loss of most of herself. Diagnosis and evolving symptoms show her broken pathway. The author goes through a rocky road of changes in her relationships and reidentification of herself as she finds her life coach, re-learns to read and write, and deals with mental health issues that felt like the end of her recovery. The final trek reveals hope and posttraumatic growth (PTG) and showcases the value of Disability Culture as a source of pride.This story is for fellow TBI survivors, their caretakers, families and friends, and professionals in the neurorehabilitation field. It brings light to the daunting changes after TBI and give hope for all who tread on this challenging path.Mad Woman: The hotly anticipated follow-up to lifechanging bestseller, MAD GIRL
