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:Giving Tuesday: Saying Goodbye
DESCRIPTION:On #GivingTuesday\, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Association (CHPCA) wants Canadians to know that grief is a shared journey that fosters compassion and encourages them to cope with their grief by supporting each other through living and grieving. We might be physically distant\, but we are together in grief. \nAs COVID-19 continues to cause concern for our everyday welfare\, the future has never felt so unpredictable. These are challenging times for everyone\, as we deal with a global pandemic. While there’s a lot of uncertainty\, we know that we need to adapt quickly to our changing reality. Now\, more than ever\, Canadians need access to hospice palliative care and support for caregivers. CHPCA is participating in #GivingTuesday which is a global movement for giving and volunteering\, taking place each year after the busy retail Black Friday that many charities and non-profits now consider the beginning of the giving season. Our campaign is executed digitally over social media on our website\, FaceBook\, and Twitter. ‏ \nFor our #GivingTuesday 2020 campaign\, our theme is “Saying Goodbye”. Because of so many restrictions on visitation\, travel and gathering size\, many people have not been able to say goodbye to their loved ones as they passed away. The CHPCA is offering Canadians the opportunity to Say Goodbye to a loved one that has passed during the pandemic by adding their loved one’s name to our Saying Goodbye Memorial Wall. \nAn estimated 300\,000 Canadians will die in 2020\, and for every one person who has died there are\, on average\, 5 or more loved ones who live on. They eventually must go on with their daily routines but may still be experiencing grief. With our Saying Goodbye campaign\, we hope to acknowledge the grief that many Canadians are experiencing and hopefully help them not feel so alone in their grief. \nThis year’s #GivingTuesday call to action includes the following: \n1. Sign your loved ones name on our Saying Goodbye Memorial Wall\n2. Watch the Saying Goodbye Concert\n3. Sign the Caregivers Declaration

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!
