Abstract Teamwork and collaboration across disciplines is becoming critically important as we meet the health and human service needs of people growing older and their families. The myriad of competencies, language and tasks specific to each discipline are not easily or intuitively mastered within discipline specific curricula. This presentation aims to provide a model that addresses the curricular needs for course preparation through inter-professional educational strategies. While the traditional IPE components are address, this model also integrates in the training process, education through the lens of the social determinants of health, community collaboration through health and human service networks, population health and public policy. This presentation will lay out the model and articulate specific educational strategies to address each of the dimensions of the model, to include the flip classroom, experiential activities, assessment and intervention tools, panel discussions with community and agency partners and epidemiologic/population health data. This model identifies a unique approach to teaching students and professionals about collaboration across disciplines for the benefits of addressing the needs of an older adult target group. This model also moves the process of teaching interprofessional collaboration and education beyond understanding values and ethics, roles and responsibilities, team care and communication.

The emergence of social work and macro practice is often associated with the eradication of poverty and prevention of homelessness through the efforts of 19th century settlement houses. Structural violence and social determinants of homelessness are often grounded in unequal social, political, and economic conditions. Health and mental health were affected by the lack of stable housing, causing and increasing the complexity of health and human service needs and services. Furthermore, due to inequities, some populations are inadvertently more likely to face chronic homelessness, which can be mitigated through the role community-engagement and macro practice interventions.

Since 2006, United Way of York Region and York University have been collaborating to support community-university knowledge mobilisation and research collaborations that serve the human service needs of citizens in York Region. Ours is a sustained and sustainable community-university collaboration. What makes us sustainable? Certainly there is no single sustainability panacea (‘do this and you to will have a sustainable community-university collaboration’) but, in general, if you pay attention to the little details, the big things (like sustainability) will take care of themselves. Looking back we realise that the journey (our evolving collaboration) is more important than the destination (sustainability). We share our journey by interpreting a story about a family trip one of us (Daniele) made to see relatives. What happened when Daniele visited his relatives is an allegory for our community-university knowledge mobilisation story and is instructive for those forging community-university collaborations. We illustrate each of the lessons with examples from our experience. Keywords Community-university collaboration, knowledge mobilisation, shared history, evolution of partnership, sustainability
