HPCO2025 is Canada’s premier Hospice Palliative Care conference. This in-person conference attracts over 800 delegates from across Canada and worldwide, representing all professions, roles, and care settings across the healthcare continuum. We aim to highlight, inspire, and encourage fresh and innovative approaches to embracing hospice palliative care and provide opportunities to spotlight the depth and breadth of research, program delivery, and clinical practice in all care settings.
We will gather to share, debate, learn, and co-create solutions to advance hospice palliative care through five conference tracks: Research; Clinical Practice; Organizational Development; Program Design, Delivery, and Innovation, and, Caring for the Care Team.
Land Acknowledgement
As conference delegates gather from across Ontario and other parts of Canada, we are gathering on lands that have been home to First Nations Peoples from time immemorial. Hospice Palliative Care Ontario acknowledges that our conference taking place in what we now call Richmond Hill, is on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Mississauga and Chippewa Nations of the Williams Treaty. We also recognize that Richmond Hill is on part of the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat. We recognize and honour the past, present and future of the Indigenous Peoples.

Did you know that people who know their strengths are nine times more likely to be psychologically flourishing than those who don’t? What’s more, people who frequently use their strengths are 19 times more likely to be flourishing.
In this highly practical and engaging workshop, Dr Lucy Hone will guide us through the theoretical foundations, findings, and best practices of strengths psychology. Sharing her own (internationally published) research findings demonstrating the importance of knowing and using your strengths, you’ll discover how to help your clients first identify their own personal strengths and then learn tried-and-tested ways to help them use them more.
Studies show the power of knowing and using our strengths every day in work, love and play, but my own research and practice has revealed the power of taking a strengths-based approach for Resilient Grieving™. Come and join me for a fun, illuminating workshop where you are bound to discover more about you at your best, but also how to bring out the best in others, building their internal capacity and external supports to empower them even in their darkest days.
You’ll learn:
- what we mean by strengths (latest scientific theories)
- why do they make such a difference to our performance, our wellbeing, and our capacity to handle adversity
- learn your individual strengths – the ways of thinking and acting that make you thrive
- tried-and-tested way of identifying personal strengths and help clients use them more
- discover how knowing each others’ strengths acts as a relationship accelerant and bonder
