three part series, presented by Jane Chambers-Evans, Nursing
Practice Consultant, MUHC Clinical Ethicist, Associate Professor,
School of Nursing, Æ»¹ûÒùÔº, which focuses on the topic of
‘Working with Angry Families’.Â
The first part of the series will take place on Monday, February
27, 2012. Jane Chambers-Evans will lead you through the
complex process of ‘Anger Dissected’. What is it? How is it
manifested? How do we assess the situation, the family and our own
emotions in a proactive/preventative approach. We will look at its
impact on the family, the staff and the relationship between the
two. To confirm your attendance to this lecture, please rsvp
to debbie.rashcovsky [at] mcgill.ca or 514-398-6047 by February 14,

The second part of the series to take place on Monday, March 26,
2012 will deal with ‘Building interventions that will preserve our
relationships’. The talk will begin with a brief re-cap of
series #1 and continue to focus on interventions and planning in
the face of an angry family. Jane Chambers-Evans will give
concrete tools to help us keep the compassion in our care when
faced with anger and help us to identify limits that cannot be
breached. Rsvp by March 12, 2012 to attend the second part in
the ‘Working with Angry Families’ series at
debbie.rashcovsky [at] mcgill.ca or 514-398-6047.
Our third and the last part of this series which takes place on
Monday, April 30, 2012 will give us the necessary tools to
‘Strengthen our practice in tough situations’. This session
will begin with a re-cap of series #1 & #2 followed by a short
lecture which will help us ‘Identify resources in the system and
how to access them’. A specific case will be presented, then
group breakout sessions will allow attendees the opportunity for
small group work and open discussion. An audience wide
question & answer period will follow where you may bring your
own cases which you may present and have discussed in an open
facilitated discussion format. Send your cases to
debbie.rashcovsky [at] mcgill.ca in advance or bring them the day
