208 - Fully sick; disability inclusion in digital health.  Gillian Mason

Thanks to Ajeev Bhatia, Manager of Policy / Community Connections at Centre for Connected Communities and Gillian Mason, a consultant and urban planner working with Connected Communities,  for talking to us about the amazing work underway at East Scarborough Works.    In this conversation, Ajeev and Gillian describe the unique opportunity we have now to build on what we know from poverty reduction and community development to strengthen neighbourhoods and draw on the assets of our communities in the recovery.   In the East Scarborough Works project large institutions like the University of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission, trade unions like LIUNA, employment services, skills development programs are all connected with a clear line of sight to connect job seekers with job needs and support new workers with wayfinding and drawing on neighbourhood assets.   Ajeev and Gillian explain the community development approach the project has taken and the critical role of an intermediary in a community ecosystem.  Connected Communities calls this the community backbone organization, which understands all of the different groups in a community from grassroots organizations to large institutions and their motivations and challenges, and works to develop a system level pathway.    An intermediary like East Scarborough Works operates at both an individual and macro level to connect and support all of the players in a community ecosystem. This work has also helped grow empathy among the players in the system.  ‘Weavers’ such as the people at East Scarborough works who are nurturing relationships and understanding will be important in the new economy.    We hope this critical connective tissue in communities can attract investment and support from government and philanthropy in the new recovery.     Resources:  Ajeev Bhatia:   LinkedIn  Twitter    Gillian Mason:  LinkedIn  Twitter  Web      Learn more about the  East Scarborough Works project here   Learn about the  Connected Community Approach     Access  resources and tools about the Connected Community Approach    Centre for Connected Communities    .

The future of work in the recovery: relationships and networks in East Scarborough Works  with Ajeev Bhatia and Gillian Mason

Gillian's was a physiotherapist and exercise instructor. She is now working as a ‘ ‘science translator’ in the University of Newcastle’s Stroke Recovery Research Group, at Hunter Medical Research Institute (Newcastle, Australia).  Gillian’s main work is identifying people with stroke in the local community willing to take part in research studies and signing them up.  She loves her job. She enjoys getting to stay in touch with local people who have had strokes and linking them with researchers who are working hard to solve their problems. Those questions about getting back into life after a stroke! She manages the group’s social media accounts - search for strokebrainprc [say “stroke brain P R C”] on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and moonlights as a research assistant and university teacher. The rest of the time she’s busy riding bikes, mucking about with her kids and trying to figure out how to make our city an easier place to live regardless of your health or disability.
