In this second session of the Roadmap to Care Series, participants will gain an essential overview of Canada’s healthcare system, focusing on how to effectively access the services and resources they need. We’ll cover key tips for navigating healthcare, including understanding patient rights, setting expectations for medical visits, and asking the right questions to ensure clear communication with providers. Participants will also learn about continuity of care and how to take an active role in managing their health across different healthcare settings.

Additionally, we’ll discuss various healthcare options, such as telemedicine and home visit services, that provide flexibility in accessing care. This workshop equips artists with practical strategies and insights to advocate for their health and make informed decisions about their healthcare journey.

Please note that this session cannot address individual concerns or participants’ questions. However, we will provide resources for personal support and practical advice that you can take with you.

About the Roadmap to Care Series

The AFC and the Artists’ Health Centre are teaming up to present a four-part series to provide essential information on navigating support services. Each online event will cover a specific care category, including mental health, physical health, disabilities, and other services. The series is designed to empower individuals by helping them understand what to look for, potential pitfalls to avoid, and how to get started in finding the services they need.

These events are for general information on a national level and will not provide one-on-one support to attendees.

The Roadmap to Care Series is presented in partnership with the Al & Malka Green Artists' Health Centre.
