Before I talk about the new opportunities coming up in June, I would like to share what I have appreciated most about May. At our international team meeting in May, Helen introduced us to what she is learning around wellness. Together, Helen, Amanda, Deb and I used person centred thinking tools to work through each area of wellness as described by The New Economics Foundation. Please go to Helen's blog for more information on this. I am sure some of you will find this information very useful. I know that it is already starting to make a difference in my life.

 On a different note, I am excited to let you know that in a few weeks I will be working with an organization to evaluate their services and look at strategic direction by working with the Progress for Providers (checking your progress in using person centred approaches) in combination with the Working Together for Change process. This will be our first opportunity in Canada to work with both tools simultaneously. I look forward to sharing our learning with you.

The other exciting news is that I have been invited to present at the Ontario Hospital Association conference in Toronto June 14^th.  The group is interested in hearing about HSA's work around Think About Your Life. Thanks Amanda George for your wonderful leadership with this website. I look forward to introducing this work to the medical community in Ontario. 

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful summer!  I look forward to giving you updates on these events when I join you again in future blogs!
