Topic 1: If Wellness Programs Are The Solution, What’s The Problem?
Presented by: Dr . Alkesh Patel, MD, Visionary CEO & Co-Founder, Ringside MD
The biggest health challenge your organization is facing is the growing epidemic of chronic diseases. Workplace wellness programs are supposed to improve employee health and lower employer costs – they are not very good at either! Learn simple solutions in an interactive session that empowers your employees to be healthier without additional corporate dollars.
Topic 2: Managing Mental Health in the Workplace: How YOU Can Make a Difference
Presented by: Susan Kagan, RN, Mental Health Educator and Advocate
Learn specific strategies about how HR professionals can manage and support employees who are experiencing mental health problems. Understand why we need to talk about mental health, the attached stigma, and how to approach employees in the organization with empathy and compassion.
Topic 3: Addictions in the Workplace: Is this Happening at MY Organization?
Presented by: Susan McGrail, Clinical Director, Addiction Services of York Region
More frequently than one expects, many of our colleagues may be using substances. Learn about the factors that may be contributing to this use, as well how to initiate discussion with employees and talk about the stigma and the programs and services available. A case study will assist in discussion.
