Participation of the Support Service in the Journée-séminaire 2023 : Centres désignés de la Capitale-Nationale et de Chaudière-Appalaches
On October 31, the Support Service was invited to travel to Quebec City to take part in a one-day seminar organized by the designated centres in the Capitale-Nationale and Chaudière-Appalaches regions.
The objectives of the day were:
-
To participate in continuing education specific to forensic and medico-social clinical practice in a designated centre;
-
To take time to network and get to know each other;
-
To share success stories and concerns about practice in designated centres.
The Support Service was pleased to accept the invitation to present our training on the application of the trauma-informed approach in medico-social intervention services. More than 90 participants working in designated centres in these two regions attended the training session, demonstrating the value of bringing medico-social teams together to learn and develop their expertise.
Several presentations (in French) were given over the course of the day-long seminar, allowing participants to expand their knowledge in several areas:
-
Le rôle de la toxicologie judiciaire dans l’analyse des trousses médicolégales: Presented by Édith Viel, forensic toxicologist and scientific coordinator, Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale.
