Please find the information for the BACCHUS Canada 3 regional Conferences.

 

BACCHUS Canada is a dedicated leader in the promotion of healthy decisions
on the use or non-use of alcohol and other health-related issues. We achieve
this by increasing awareness, challenging unhealthy attitudes and providing
students and advisors with resources, training and educational materials
that create positive changes on campuses across the nation.

The BACCHUS Canada conference is just one example of the quality resources
that we offer. The only conference of its kind in Canada, it provides
members and non-members with cutting-edge research and hands-on experience
in different areas of alcohol education. The conference also equips
participants with the necessary tools needed to succeed in campus alcohol
awareness and education campaigns.

Our conference will be of interest to any person who works with
post-secondary students or is interested in alcohol education and other
health issues. The conference programming is largely designed for student
union representatives, health administrators and educators, residence life
members, student services, and alcohol policy developers within the
post-secondary gamut.

LOCATIONS:
This year, our conference will be held in 3 regions of Canada:

Eastern Region in Charlottetown, PE - Holland College 
October 19-20, 2007

Central Region in Toronto ON - Ryerson University
October 26-27, 2007

Western Region in Regina SK - University of Regina, Luther College
November 3-4, 2007

 

AGENDA:

Attitude is Everything
Attitudes shape behaviours. Helping students increase their knowledge and
build their skills will likely not lead to behaviour change if the attitudes
they hold are not consistent with the behaviour.  This presentation will
provide a framework in which to understand what attitudes are, what
functions they serve, what factors affect attitude formation, and what
strategies can be used by those at all levels who serve students to assist
them in adopting health-enhancing attitudes.

 

Empowering and Working with students, how to have everyone win

The session will address the peer educators’ role on campus, how to get them
involved and what skills are needed to be a great peer educators. In the
session, the participant will get an insight into the incoming cohort of
post secondary students, examining who they are, and what they like,
expectation of them, pitfalls and signs of student burnout and stress.
