Cota presented at over 15 conferences and discussion forums over the past year. In collaboration with many of our colleague organizations we spoke about challenges that affect our clients, innovative service solutions and the value of communitybased services. Some examples include:

Community-Hospital Collaboration for Improving Services to Individuals with Complex Mental Health and Addictions Issues (Cota and ST. Michael’s Hospital at AMHO’s 2017 Conference)

Fostering Real Opportunities and Possibilities: Enhanced System and Agency Collaborations Providing Meaningful and Effective Client Driven Outcomes (Cota and Mid-East Toronto Health Link Virtual Hub at AMHO’s 2017 Conference)

Ending Chronic Homelessness: Solutions for People with Complex Needs (Inner City Family Health Team, Community Living Toronto, Madison Community Services, Fred Victor, and Cota, presented at a Queen’s Park reception sponsored by Sophie Kiwala, MPP for Kingston and the Islands)

The Supportive Housing Model at Bailey House (Cota and Parkdale Community Health Centre, Banting and Best Diabetes Centre)

Cota was also a part of a webinar series hosted by the Toronto ABI Network. Staff and Managers from Cota presented on ABI Case Management, Cota’s Collegeview Program, and Cota’s ABI Adult Day Service program. Our organization looks forward to carrying this momentum forward into the next fiscal year.
