PRESENTER: Jill Faber is currently a Director with Community Living North Bay and has been working in Developmental Services since 1990. Jill also had the fortune of spending many years working with Helen Sanderson Associates and Alliance Information Management Systems across Ontario. For the past 9 years she was working in the North Eastern part of Ontario as a regional Case Manager for people that have been often forgotten or failed by services and systems.
A group of like minded people came together in North Eastern Ontario to try and find solutions to the complexity and lack of services for people in our community with intellectual disabilities whom are already significantly marginalized and at risk due to addictions, poverty, intergenerational trauma, gender and race. THE SHIFT is a harm reduction focused resource for the developmental services sector. It is built around the person-centred, “Do Nothing about Us, Without Us” philosophy and is focused on non-judgement and inclusive care that is culturally sensitive, evidence-based, accessible and more than anything, individual-led and based on incremental gains.
