Mental Health
May 26 (3:00pm) - 31, 2019 (11:30am) (6 spaces available)
Half the population will experience a mental health problem over their lifetime. And 20% of us are dealing with mental illness on any given day. Mental health issues touch every one of us directly or indirectly. What does this mean for us as workers? What about in our role as union activists? What are our duties and responsibilities? How can we support members who may be dealing with mental illness? This workshop will help answer these questions and more.

LET Essentials for Inclusive Unions
May 26 (3:00pm) - 31, 2019 (11:30am) (8 spaces available)
As activists in our unions, we often ask why members are not more involved. This workshop asks a different question: Who is involved and who isn't and what might be some reasons why? How might our unconscious biases contribute to this? How can we represent members in a way that invites those on the margins to get involved and to see the union as place where they want to make a difference?

Conflict is a natural part of our lives. Learning to handle it well improves relationships at work and in the union.. In this workshop, you will: • deepen your understanding of conflict; • strengthen your communication skills; • practice responding to conflict.
Nine modules will be offered.
