Team Up! Social Work and Team-Based Care in the Community – A Dialogue Circle (Webinar)
On November 17, 2022, we had a panel discussion to learn how providers and coaches in the Sunshine Coast community worked together to generate connections and awareness and develop a shared understanding of the current state of Primary Care Social Work in their region. The discussion focused on the team’s experiences with the utilization of PACC Mapping as a tool to foster conversations between the associated teams and clinicians, with a focus on recruitment and retention challenges, access to care, burden on existing social work services, ideas for futures roles and more.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the challenges and motivations that spurred the social work focused mapping process.
- Identify how coaching and processes like PACC mapping can improve relationships, improve culture and lead to stronger connections.
- Identify opportunities for strengthening team-based care at your local site.
- Relate your experience with team-based care to others working in primary and community care teams across BC.
Shared Resources:
