Workshops and seminars

Our workshops and seminars are available on a variety of topics, with the goal of supporting health and wellness in the workplace. These in-person or virtual sessions range from one to three hours and can run any time of day.

Often, organizations prefer to schedule one-hour sessions as “Lunch and Learns,” with employees eating lunch while participating.

Typically, one-hour sessions are considered seminars, whereas three-hour sessions are considered workshops. Seminars tend to focus more on providing information, whereas workshops are more hands-on, with a focus on information sharing, skill-building and practice.
These sessions are offered at a reduced rate for groups with Manitoba Blue Cross Employee Assistance Program (EAP) coverage or at no additional cost for those with group facilitation hours included in their plan.
These sessions are available on a fee-for-service basis.

Available sessions

Diversity & cultural awareness

Diversity in the workplace – 1 hour

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) policies are becoming commonplace in the workplace. EDI policies ensure that everyone in the workplace is treated fairly and with respect, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion. And while diversity has become a buzzword in the workplace, organizations may be missing out on the value that a truly diverse organization provides to employees.

This session aims to explain the concepts of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, including the types of diversity, why they're important, and how to promote a truly inclusive environment for all employees. Participants will also explore communication techniques as they are used in the work setting and common pitfalls to avoid.

The Box and Circle workshop – full day

Pahan PteSanWin co-facilitates this workshop for groups to learn about the experience of Indigenous peoples in Canada. After receiving a vision for conducting the exercise, the Box and Circle workshop was created by Jann Derrick, PhD., a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist. The teachings and model have been used globally by professionals trained by Derrick to create impactful workshops that address cultural sensitivity and the history of colonization and support the critical work necessary to advance anti-oppressive, inclusive practice. The workshop explores the effects of residential schools and Canada’s policy of assimilation and how we can work together to impact meaningful change. 

Personal wellness

Balancing work & personal life – 1 hour

Balancing work and personal life has become increasingly difficult in the last few years. Our work-life balance will shift as our daily responsibilities change, and we struggle to adjust.  In this session, we will define what work-life balance is and discuss if it’s even possible. We’ll explore the benefits of creating some harmony within these two areas of our life, and we’ll discuss the most common causes of poor work-life balance. Lastly, we’ll outline tips on how to improve work-life balance.

Habits: What to change and what to keep – 1 hour

By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

  • describe characteristics of healthy habits and unhealthy habits.
  • identify healthy habits and unhealthy habits.
  • describe the process of how unhealthy habits can become a problem.
  • describe the stages of change and where we are at with being ready for change.
  • identify evidence-based tasks that we may do to make a change.
  • gain resources to help reduce the harm of unhealthy habits.

Preventing burnout by completing the stress cycle – 1 hour

Everyone experiences stress at one time or another. It might be something as simple as a looming deadline or as emotional as the death of a loved one that triggers high stress levels. No matter the cause, many people who deal with a stressful situation will go through the stress-response cycle. While there is no one way to manage stress, completing this natural sequence of steps can help us cope with our situation healthily and prevent burnout. During this session, we will explore several research-based ways to help complete the stress cycle and manage our body’s response to a tense situation.

Mindfulness, meditation & stress – 1 hour

Self-awareness is crucial to learning to deal with stress, and to making any positive changes in our lives. During this seminar, participants will learn about the difference between mindfulness and meditation as well as how they relate to stress reduction. Participants will have an opportunity to try several practices for developing mindfulness, including meditation.

Gratitude – 1 hour

Evidence shows that gratitude has measurable benefits for just about every area of our lives. Gratitude appears to contribute substantially to people’s overall well-being. During this session, participants will learn:

  • what gratitude is
  • the science behind it
  • the benefits of gratitude

Participants will also learn how to incorporate gratitude into their lives with exercises.

Sleep – 1 hour

In this session, we will discuss the importance of sleep and how our body’s natural sleep-wake cycles work. We will also discuss tips for getting a better night’s sleep (or day’s sleep for nightshift workers), bedtime rituals that facilitate relaxation and how to improve our sleep environments. We will discuss not only how to fall asleep but how to get back to sleep if we awaken during the night.

Shift work – 1 hour

In this session, we will discuss how working nights, early mornings, and/or rotating shifts can impact our sleep quality and waking life. We will also brainstorm strategies for improving sleep quality for shift workers, including controlling our exposure to light.

Post-traumatic growth – 1 hour

During this session, participants will be introduced to the concept of Post-Traumatic Growth. This is not merely a bouncing back to the level of functioning prior to a trauma, but rather a sense of growth beyond pre-trauma functioning. After learning about Post-Traumatic Growth and the stress response, participants will identify ways they can enhance this growth and nurture the changes they’ve experienced.

Post-pandemic parenting – 1 hour

As adults, it is our role and responsibility to create safety and stability for our children. The pandemic generated adversity, fear, anxiety and confusion for many. How can we help our children get through this with the fewest effects on their emotional well-being? This session focuses on self-regulation in a post-pandemic environment. As parents, children instinctively look to us to take the lead and reassure them that we will be there to help them through. By improving our self-regulation skills, we become more aware of our own behaviours, thoughts and feelings. Children can perceive our sense of calm and will co-regulate with us – resulting in less mental and emotional pressure for them.

Enjoying the holidays with less stress! The three R’s – 1 hour

This session was created as a result of the multitude of clients, associates and friends who have confided that the holidays are no longer a time of peace and joy. Whether it’s the busyness of the season, the expectations we feel we must meet, challenging family dynamics, the empty chair at the table due to the loss of a loved one or family changes caused by separation or divorce, the holidays can be less than festive. In this workshop, participants will explore their childhoods and memories of the holidays and family gatherings, current challenges, how their “I should haves” have evolved over time, strategies for coping, and the three R’s: remaking, rebuilding and reclaiming.

Workplace wellness for employees
