Breakout Session
Navigating Mental Health at Work | AM Session

Mental health is just as important in the workplace as physical safety, which is why psychological safety is an emerging topic for many workers. In this session, we will show you how to maintain positive mental health and resilience in the workplace and provide tips and tools for crafting a healthier path back to work for those who may have experienced a physical or psychological injury.

Breakout Session
Building Safety and Inclusion Through Communication | AM Session

Almost everything we do involves relationships with others. If relationships are the vehicles that allow us to work with others, our communications are the fuel. We can empower ourselves, strengthen our organizations, and build unity through collaborative and inclusive communication.  
 
Get ready to learn, laugh, and leverage the power of improvisation. This session will have everyone on their feet and in stitches with laughter while building skills and confidence to communicate more collaboratively. 

Breakout Session

Using Teepa Snow’s trademarked method to assess, connect, and initiate an action in a positive and person-centred way, Jennifer will show you how to use the skills and abilities the person living with dementia has left to help them with their activities of daily living. 

Jennifer will show you: 

  • Five ways people perceive data and how that changes through dementia 
  • How to make positive personal connections to begin each interaction 
  • Positive action starters 
Breakout Session
The Forgotten Griever: Support and Strategies for Healthcare Workers | AM Session

Healthcare workers are the forgotten grievers. You make relationships with your residents, clients, and patients, and you are expected to carry on when they pass away. But healthcare workers experience the same kind of grief that family members and close friends of a loved one do and need to validate your loss. Join Angela and Stephannie in understanding what it means to take on grief, how the body and brain process and respond to grief, how to know the signs of burnout and stress, and how to take care of yourself.  

They’ll also get you comfortable with conversations around death and dying and how to open up those conversations in a safe environment.
