SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
WELCOME to OPA’s 95th ANNUAL CONFERENCE
elcome to the 2015 Ontario Psychiatric Association Annual Conference! On
behalf of the Education Committee it is our pleasure to welcome you again to the
Omni King Edward Hotel for a wonderful weekend of learning and connecting
with your peers. As your provincial association, we take seriously advocating for and
supporting our profession. We are looking forward to you joining us for two days of self
care and learning in a fun and relaxing environment.
Last year was full of changes and challenges for Ontario psychiatrists. Along this
theme of challenges we are pleased to introduce this year’s Jane Chamberlin lecture on
Access to Psychiatric Care. Dr. Paul Kurdyak and Dr. Doug Weir will debate ways to
approach the timely topic of access to psychiatric care in the province. We are looking
forward to you joining the debate with your experiences and point of view! We also
invite you to see Dr. Mike Evans for his plenary talk on translational medicine.
Dr. Evans has millions of views on YouTube© for his unique and easy to understand
medical videos promoting effective teaching and behaviour change. We are confident that
you will find it useful for connecting more effectively with your patients and the wider
community.
The conference program is well rounded and includes something for every style of
practice. Dr. Pierre Blier will update the conference on new strategies and medications for
treatment resistant depression, while Dr. Pri Weerasekera will unravel and explain the
evidence base showing effectiveness of various psychotherapies. We are also pleased to
announce high quality talks on two of Ontario’s fast growing challenges: obesity and
dementia. Obesity is a growing societal concern and contributes to mental and physical
health problems, and is also an unfortunate consequence of many psychiatric drugs.
Dr. Sanjeev Sockalingam will review the interplay of physical and mental health in
obese patients who may benefit from bariatric surgery. Finally, while patients with
dementia are increasingly presenting challenges to hospitals and psychiatrists for
behavioural concerns, the treatments are only getting more controversial. Dr. Tim Lau
will share his experience in managing the neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia safely
and effectively.
We are sure this slate of plenary and invited speakers will reinvigorate your interest
and love for psychiatry. Complementing these speakers will be a wide variety of
workshops and lectures on a broad array of topics.
Finally, we also hope you join us for the gala dinner on Friday night. In keeping with
the biopsychosocial model of mental health, join your colleagues for good food, music
and revelry to attend to all your biopsychosocial needs! Come and meet your OPA
Council, let us know your thoughts, or find out how you can get involved.
Many thanks to the Education Committee and OPA Council members, and especially
our Association Manager, Halyna Troian, for all their time and dedication in organizing
this conference, and to all the speakers for their participation… and of course to you for
your attendance and support.
We are looking forward to seeing you there. Enjoy!

“SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY”
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
— HENRY DAVID THOREAU
any of us have entered medicine and psychiatry to positively effect the days and
lives of our individual patients. In “The Physician as Health Advocate:
Translating the Quest for Social Responsibility Into Medical Education and
Practice” Dharamsi et al. eloquently argue that “Medical systems that tend to focus
largely on the individual relationship between the physician and the patient, with little
attention to the doctor’s role and responsibility to society, will face difficulty serving
vulnerable groups.” Therefore, in addition to being devoted to the best interests of each
individual patient, it is our professional responsibility to respond to the mental health
care needs of society, especially the needs of our most vulnerable and underserved
population. It is our responsibility to be socially engaged and accountable.
We need to champion social justice efforts aimed at addressing social determinants of
health. As the healthy communities are the foundation of a healthy society, we need to
strive to be involved in public advocacy efforts directed at improving conditions that
positively impact the well-being of our patients. Our patients and the people of Ontario
need affordable housing, income security, and supported employment opportunities. They
need to live in an environment free of neglect, abuse, violence and discrimination based
on race, gender, and sex orientation. They need to be able to live in an environment that
is supportive and does not stigmatize them because of their illness. They need equitable
access to high quality mental health care regardless of their diagnosis and regardless of
whether they live in an affluent part of Toronto or in one of Ontario’s rural communities
or remote First Nations communities or whether they are in a correctional facility.
We need to practice culturally competent and evidence-based psychiatry, commit to
address the needs of the most disadvantaged and ensure that limited health care resources
are put to their best use. Our focus needs to be not only on decreasing the burden of
mental illness but also on enabling the future where the most disadvantaged and
vulnerable groups will be served and have equitable access to services and where the
mental health of the population will be a priority. I am convinced that a health care
system that is proactive in supporting wellness and building or strengthening resilience is
more equitable and sustainable than the one focusing solely on alleviation of illness.
Self-awareness, mindfulness and the reflective capacity that we harness as psychiatrists
will give us the necessary ability to widen the lens and broaden our field of vision. This
vision will include both equitable care of the mentally ill and promotion of mental health
for all. It will include not only care and advocacy for the individual patient, but also care
and advocacy for vulnerable communities.
To bring this vision to reality, we need to continue listening to our patients as well as
our partners in the health care sector. We need to strengthen existing partnerships and
look for and embrace new partnerships outside of the health care sector.
We need to dance the collaborative dance that also includes asking to be listened to so
that we could provide the best access and care for our most vulnerable population and
work towards mental health for all.
This is how we can enlarge our impact.

MIKE EVANS
Mike Evans
Paul Kurdyak
Dr. Michael Evans is the creator of the worldwide YouTube sensation “23½Hours,”
which has been viewed by over four million people, drastically outpacing any other
health-based messaging in history. Believing that everyone should take a proactive role in
their health, Dr. Evans shares both his approach to healthcare education and his
invaluable knowledge, offering suggestions on how to best take care of ourselves to avoid
disease.
Dr. Evans is a practicing family doctor; a staff physician at St. Michael’s Hospital in
Toronto; an associate professor of family medicine and public health at the University of
Toronto; and the director of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge
Institute (also at St. Michael’s Hospital), which fuses a diverse range of experts — from
filmmakers and marketers to designers and media experts — with clinicians, researchers,
and patients to produce effective mass messaging. He is the author of a children’s book,
The Adventures of Medical Man, as well as a medical textbook.
While Dr. Evans’s current focus is on using well-designed media to better inform
people about health, he also engages the public through his work with traditional media:
syndicated for CBC weekend morning radio, and a column in The Globe and Mail.
In 2014, Dr. Evans was awarded the McNeil Medal from the Royal Society of Canada,
for excellence and innovation in educating the public about science and medicine. In
2012, Dr. Evans was awarded the Gold Medal for Social Media at the Web Health
Awards; was chosen as a Zoomer magazine “Top 45 Canadians Over 45” citation; and
was picked by the CBC as one of the five “Health Heroes” of the year.
