WEBINAR: Drugs and Alcohol in the Workplace – Employer Rights and Obligations
2020-09-25 11:00 - 12:30, 2020-12-18 11:00 - 12:30 | Online
Drug and alcohol use has become an increasing issue in the workplace, especially given the prevalence of prescribed marijuana for medicinal reasons. How do you deal with an employee in a safety-sensitive role who has a medical marijuana licence? Are they still allowed to perform their safety sensitive job?

In this 1.5-hour interactive session we will discuss:
• Drug and Alcohol Policies
• Testing for Drug and Alcohol Use
• Consequences for Testing Positive
• Pre-employment Situations
• Impaired at Work Situations
• Accommodation requirements for workers with drug and or alcohol addiction
• Suggested wording on Medical Marijuana to update company policies

WEBINAR: Understanding Brain Circuitry – Why all the Stigma?
2021-01-22 12:00 - 13:30 | Online
Regular maintenance for our operating systems, such as our heart, digestion (fuel) and circulation (cooling) system, comes in the form of exercise, good nutrition, and rest. When body mechanics, such as our shoulders, knees and lower backs are stiff or painful, we seek out relief, even repairs to get back to personal productivity.
So why is it, when there is a short in our electrical circuitry that powers all these sources, we do not dedicate the same attention or effort to the maintenance or quick repairs we do for the rest of our body? The answer: stigma.
This 90-minute live online workshop will challenge that stigma by introducing participants to how our brain circuitry is impacted. We will explore how our brain function moves along a continuum of “normal”, a recommended maintenance plan, and early warning signs an adjustment is needed!
What Will Participants Learn?

Describe 3 – 4 factors that impact your brain circuitry
Identify where you are at any given time on the continuum of being “amped up”, to sparks in our circuitry, to a power outage
Explain how stigma can interfere with brain, and ultimately, full body health
Takeaway tips on maintaining brain health, how to identify early warning signs in yourself and others, and where to go for help
