SUMMARY:Webinar Series: What to say when you don't know what to say

In this session we will look at the basics\, the importance of presence\, and provide some helpful tips for caring conversations.\nPresented by Michelle O’Rourke \nThis session will highlight elements of Course #1 in the new PSW Online Learning Program \nTo register for an individual event or the whole series click here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Guide Training Adaptations for Remote & Hybrid Work
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: Ariadne Labs \nJoin us to learn about three different models for adapting the Serious Illness Care Conversation Guide Training to meet the needs of remote and hybrid work environments.  As remote and hybrid work became more prevalent over the last year\, systems implementing the Serious Illness Care Program rapidly transitioned the in-person training\, consisting of didactic and skills practice sessions\, to fully- or partially-virtual modes of delivery.  In this webinar\, we will hear from Drs. Rachelle Bernacki\, Trish Ford\, and Seiko Izumi about each of their adaptations to the training\, and the pros and cons to each.  Additionally\, we’ll learn tips about how to plan your own virtual training from SICP CoP Ambassador\, Danielle Miltz\, with input from fellow Ambassadors\, Emma Penti\, Nancy Joyner\, and Lynn Aiksnoras. \nWe look forward to hearing your adaptations\, learnings\, and questions. \nTo register for this event click here

SUMMARY:CPCNA Town Hall: Rituals for Coping
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association \nThe general topic for this Town Hall will be about the Stresses and Successes of living with COVID-19 personally and professionally. \n\n\nRituals for Coping \nWe have just passed the one-year mark of living with COVID-19. Regardless of where we live in Canada\, we are all hoping for light at the end of the tunnel but we continue to be faced with the roller coaster that has become life.  Once again we face restrictions on day-to-day life. In the April Town Hall\, we reflected on you\, those who have attended the town halls\, those who are members\, and our nursing colleagues across the country.  We extend our thoughts\, our care\, our concern. In some ways\, this coming month might be one of the most frustrating experiences as we hope for vaccinations to do their job and as we hope for better days. \nWe know that during the past year\, we have all floundered at time as we developed ways of coping to get through difficult moments\, difficult situations and made difficult decisions. In our next town hall\, Michelle O’ Rourke RN and Kath Murray RN will lead a discussion about rituals\, and how rituals can help us in difficult times. You are invited to bring a small candle to light as part of a ritual that we will develop together. \nTo register click here

SUMMARY:Part 2: Learn How to Facilitate Well-Being Debriefings within Your Organization
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a stunning toll on the emotional well-being of health care workers. Many of us are looking for proven strategies to mitigate the natural stress\, empathy strain\, and moral distress that we are experiencing. \nPeer-facilitated well-being debriefings are an evidence-based way to provide support to health care workers; they increase social support\, decrease feelings of isolation\, and provide opportunities to learn from each other about coping with difficult issues. The result: positive impact on well-being\, personal resiliency\, improved patient care\, and reduced feelings of burnout. \nIn this two-part webinar series\, Vickie Leff\, LCSW\, will train attendees to be peer facilitators for well-being debriefings\, providing the skills needed to bring this technique to their organizations. In part one\, attendees learned the benefit of peer-facilitated well-being debriefings; the format of these conversations; how to secure buy-in from leadership; and more. In part two\, Vickie will review the techniques previously learned\, and then provide attendees with an opportunity to hone their newly-acquired skills.

SUMMARY:Families matter: BCCPA’s free webinar to address grief and loss over COVID care home restrictions
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: BC Care Providers Association \nOn March 2\, 2021\, Dr. Henry indicated that the province was looking to reallow family visits in long-term care and assisted living as early as the end of this month. From the perspective of the BC Care Providers Association\, this news is heartening\, as the association has been advocating to reinstate family visits for many months. \nThere are many things to consider as our members look towards welcoming family caregivers back into long-term care and assisted living homes. Particularly\, it is likely that upon being reunited with residents\, some family members will experience feelings of grief and loss. In many cases\, these emotions will be triggered by the physical and cognitive changes they notice after being apart from their family members for such a long period of time. \nWith guests from the Alzheimer Society of B.C.\, the Family Caregivers of B.C.\, and the Vancouver Island Association of Family Councils\, this webinar will provide an overview of the support services which long-term care and assisted living staff can draw on to support family caregivers. \nWhile this webinar will be geared toward long-term care and assisted living providers\, all are welcome to attend this free event. \nModerator:\nMike Klassen\, VP Public Affairs\, BC Care Providers Association\n\nPanelists:\nSarah Eveneshen\, Provincial Coordinator\, Program Development\, Alzheimer Society of B.C.\nBarb Mclean\, CEO\, Family Caregivers of BC\nKim Slater\, Vancouver Island Association of Family Councils \nTo register click here

SUMMARY:Part 1: Learn How to Facilitate Well-Being Debriefings within Your Organization
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a stunning toll on the emotional well-being of health care workers. Many of us are looking for proven strategies to mitigate the natural stress\, empathy strain\, and moral distress that we are experiencing. \nIn this two-part webinar series\, Vickie Leff\, LCSW\, will train attendees to be peer facilitators for well-being debriefings\, providing the skills needed to bring this technique to their organizations. Peer-facilitated debriefings are an evidence-based way to provide support to health care workers; they increase social support\, decrease feelings of isolation\, and provide opportunities to learn from each other when coping with difficult issues. The result: positive impact on well-being\, personal resiliency\, improved patient care\, and reduced feelings of burnout. \nIn the first webinar\, attendees will learn: how well-being debriefings help health care workers; how to get buy-in from leadership; the debriefing format and role of the facilitator; how to validate the normal\, expectable stress that accompanies our work; and how to navigate challenging group situations. \nThis webinar will be followed by part two\, in which attendees will practice the techniques discussed in part one\, and have opportunities to practice and reflect. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:N95 Fit Testing
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by SafeCare BC \nWe understand that fit-testing services for N95 respirators have become more scarce in some areas due to the pandemic and that this is a challenge for some of our members. We want to ensure that care settings that wish to fit-test their staff – for example\, so that care staff can perform aerosol-generating medical procedures\, or as preparedness for possible airborne pathogens or other respiratory hazards – can continue to do so. SafeCare BC is therefore offering two pilot fit-testing sessions in partnership with Mountainview Safety Services. This is not a Train-the-Trainer session\, it is an opportunity for staff to be fit-tested. \nThese sessions will take place on November 3rd and 4th in the SafeCare BC Training Centre in Burnaby. Fit-testing will be provided on these days at a reduced cost of $10 per person. If you have any questions\, please contact Jenni Cannon at jcannon@safecarebc.ca. \nTo register for this workshop\, please visit the Learning Space. \nTo complete registration: \n\nSign up for an account\,\nSelect N95 Fit Testing\,\nSelect a 30-minute session time slot that works best for you. Sessions are limited to four people\,\nEnroll!
