Mini Workshops

Let’s Get REAL About Mental Health: Mini Workshops

Stress Strategies & Skills to Build Resilience

We all know what it’s like to have a low mood or to feel distressed. We can experience this on any given day or can sometimes experience this feeling for a week or more. From the executive offices to the mailroom, we all get out of sorts occasionally, and stress can often be the culprit behind our feelings.

In this workshop, participants will build knowledge on mental well-being, learn why self-awareness is so critical, and explore the impact of stigma in the workplace.

We will also discuss the different types of stress and explore helpful coping techniques and strategies for responding to stress that build resilience.

This is Empathy

Just as Canadians experienced pandemic fatigue, research indicated that Canadians also experienced “empathy fatigue.”  

With the ongoing virus strains and economic challenges, war, and the social ills that permeate our communities, including mental health stigma, gender bias, and racism, empathy fatigue is still pervasive. We have cause for a renewal of empathy and understanding of each other. 

In this workshop, participants build mental health knowledge and explore empathy to refresh and strengthen their empathetic skills.
