SUMMARY:AOHNA Education Session - Waking Up to Fatigue Factors in the Workplace\, Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this unique approach for fatigue management that focuses on engaging and connecting on the topic of fatigue through education and awareness building. This awareness\, combined with fatigue related operational optimization\, allows for a foundation to communicate on the issue of fatigue and to develop processes to better manage the issue. \nDid you know…\n•  Fatigue is 4X more likely to cause worker impairment than drugs or alcohol\n•  A fatigued employee is 3X more likely to be involved in a workplace incident\n•  Fatigue is estimated to cause 20% of all vehicle fatalities\n•  Unmanaged fatigue contributes to diabetes\, obesity and heart disease\n•  On average\, fatigue is involved in 13% of all workplace incidents \nIt is true! \nYet this prevalent health and safety risk is still largely under-recognized in many workplaces. Even when fatigue is identified as a workplace hazard\, many supervisors and employees are not aware of existing best practices and personal mitigation strategies available to help manage it. \nFatigue can directly impact business goals through poor decision making\, absenteeism\, reduced productivity\, short and long-term benefit costs\, as well as reduced employee retention resulting in increased on-boarding and training costs.  Managing fatigue in the workplace\, however\, is not always an easy task. \nFatigue is an often intangible element related directly to human factors. As such\, it requires a comprehensive approach that recognizes both operational factors and the need for worker education and engagement. In high-risk industries fatigue has been shown to be a significant contributor to workplace incidents. Best practices for enhancing fatigue management in your workplace begins with developing a common understanding of what fatigue is and how to manage it. True fatigue safety culture means that everyone in the workplace must work collaboratively toward comprehensive fatigue management. \nBy the end of this training everyone will better understand the risks fatigue creates and will be empowered with the practical strategies\, tools and countermeasures needed to better manage fatigue at work and at home. \nKey Speaking Points:\n1.  The Issue: How Fatigue Impacts Safety and Health\n2.  Understanding the Basics: Fatigue 101\n3.  Workplace Issues and Barriers to Managing Fatigue\n4.  How to Assess Fatigue Risks\n5.  Managing Fatigue – Strategies & Best Practices \nPresenter:  Susan Sawatzky\, MA Ind. Psych.\, B. Ed\, CRSP\, HSA \nSusan Sawatzky\, MA Ind. Psych.\, B. Ed\, CRSP\, HSA\, Cert. Psych. H&S Advisor\, President of In-Scope Solutions\, is a consultant specializing in the “People Part of Safety” specifically\, focusing on Fatigue Risk Management\, stress management\, mental health and wellness\, Psychological Health and Safety in the workplace\, harassment prevention\, and enhancing healthy workplace cultures.  Susan has over a decade of experience in providing expertise in consulting\, assisting clients in recognizing and assessing operational risks\, creating comprehensive risk management strategies\, and fully implementing strategic approaches by enhancing existing safety cultures.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Communities\, Healthcare and Trust with the Current System - Webinar

By referring to an anticolonial lens\, we can review the current conditions of our healthcare system and consider how deconstructing social constructs with cultural consultations can positively impact both\, Indigenous people and the healthcare system including the professionals who work within the system. Join Celina Sqwasulwut Williams as she leads a presentation pertaining to the current healthcare system and how it can improve on its diversity and inclusion measures\, specifically for the Indigenous community. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nExplore the current healthcare system and identify areas that need to be modernized\nDefine the role a healthcare provider plays in ensuring a safe and welcoming space\nIntroduction to implementing diverse and inclusive programming/treatment for the Indigenous community\n\nDate: March 10\, 2022 – 12pm ET\, 9am PT\nDuration: 1-hour (45-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A)\nCost: COMPLIMENTARY \nThis webinar provides 1.0 CEU credits recognized by the CACCF\, CCPA\, MDPAC\, and CVRP. \nFor more information and to register\, please visit:\nhttps://ehncanada.zoom.us/webinar/register/9016461623558/WN_HPdr-UyDTEy5HA9JXy2cCg \n

SUMMARY:Webinar - Mood Disorders and Habit Formation
DESCRIPTION:With Ryan Slobodian\, BA\, MC\, CCC\, RCC\, CSAT Candidate\,\nRegistered Clinical Counsellor at Edgewood Treatment Centre \nJust as bad habits can be harmful to your physical health\, some bad habits can negatively affect your mental health. These habits can increase your risk of depression\, for example\, or cause you to feel more anxious or stressed out. January being a month in which many people attempt to take on new habits (often known as resolutions)\, it is timely to discuss productive ways to build healthy habits and to also repurpose the “shame” individuals feel from their bad habits.

SUMMARY:Long COVID Management: The OHN Role
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has negatively impacted many working adults. Some working adults that have contracted the disease continue to experience symptoms and present case management challenges for Occupational Health nurses and employers. \nOccupational Health Nurses are case managing many patients in the workplace with symptoms of long COVID and not enough information or evidence-based practice is available. There is a gap as to how an OHN may support employees in management of their symptoms and the known impacts for the employer in the workplace. \nThis webinar explains what is known about COVID long-haulers\, their associated conditions\, treatment\, and how OHNs can assist these employees\, their families\, and employers. The session will address the employer’s risk management role\, along with the OHN’s risk management and risk communication roles. In essence\, occupational health nursing is risk-management operationalized through disability case management. \nCourse Outcomes:\nUpon completion of this session\, the learner will be able to: \n\nDescribe the signs and symptoms of long COVID\nExplain medical and self-management for long COVID\nDescribe the OHN role in managing long COVID with employees\n\nRegistration:\nAOHNA Members – $10.00 + GST\nNon-Members – $20.00 + GST \nFor more information and to Register \n  \n

SUMMARY:Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses - 2021 Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE!\nOctober 18-22 and October 25-29\nThe goal of the Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses is to advocate for equity and build an inclusive community of mental health nursing nationally. \nAs a Federation\, looking out\, we have recognized the structural and equity issues which COVID-19 has exposed for our clients and communities\, and looking in\, the toll on nurses\, internal equity issues and the exclusion of mental health nursing curriculum in parts of the country. \nDuring this conference\, the CFMHN is opening space to listen and learn\, to generate momentum and identify structural and educational strengths and barriers as they emerge from our dialogue\, in order to create change.  At the same time\, we will offer parallel supports for nurses to process the impact of the losses and disruptions of the pandemic through targeted wellness activities. \nFor this reason\, we have titled our conference Human Rights and Mental Health Nursing: Equity and Inclusion. \nFor more information visit https://www.cfmhn.ca/2021-conference/
