Ready, Set, Go: Finding Positive Solutions to Support a Successful Landing in the Adult World
The Child Health Hub in Transition to Adult Healthcare is excited to be hosting the 2nd Transition to Adulthood Pop-Up event on December 2-3, 2023, at the beautiful Hyatt Regency in downtown Vancouver. This event aims to bring together youth, families, trainees, researchers, clinicians, and policy/decision makers to celebrate the best of what we are learning, and doing, to help young people to develop fully, even when they are challenged by health conditions. For those unable to join in-person, aspects of the event will be made available in a virtual format.
Participants will hear from local, provincial, and Canadian thought leaders, peers and families. Here’s what you can expect from our event:
- Keynote presentations and facilitated panels with young people and parents.
- Networking is a significant focus of the event. A special community of practice meeting will allow for exchange of ideas and for making connections.
- Showcasing current treatment practices and evidence-based solutions for healthcare transition in Canada through platform and poster presentations, organized by theme – so you get to view content most relevant to you.
#Transitionsforyouth: It's all about Growing Up
January 2021
Inspired by the Children’s Healthcare Canada strategy, the vision for the inaugural Canadian Transition to Adulthood Pop-Up Event held January 26 and 27, 2021, was centred on how we build bridges to promote the best possible health outcomes for youth and families in Canada. We celebrated the best of what we are learning, and doing, to help young people to develop fully, even when they are challenged by health conditions.
Children's Healthcare Canada and our Health Hub in Transition with support from McMaster Children's Hospital and CanChild hosted over 200 delegates at this virtual event.
