A: Educational Standards, Amy McNeil and Melanie Weiss
This session is for SARC Regular and Associate Members who want to continue the discussion on educational standards within the Disability Service sector SARC Members started talking about their current educational and training requirements at April’s annual Member Update Meetings and whether or not they would support the establishment of a minimum educational standard for the Direct Support Professional position providing direct daily support for people experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities Members not in attendance for these meetings were asked the same questions via survey earlier this fall At this session, we will highlight these findings, take a deeper dive into some initiatives underway in other jurisdictions across Canada, and discuss possible next steps for Saskatchewan’s Disability Service sector
B: Enhancing Mental Health for Community Service Workers, Brelyn Klotz
Caregivers are the cornerstone of compassionate care, and it is essential that their mental health is prioritized and supported by organizational leaders This presentation will explore:
How mental health affects us in the workplace. Industry-specific stressors in community service.
How to recognize the warning signs of mental health struggles in ourselves and others.
How to identify prevalent mental health challenges. How the workplace can support effective coping strategies to enhance emotional resilience.
By the end of this session, you will be equipped with the tools to fortify your own mental well-being, support employees, and establish a solid foundation of care that prioritizes mental health, enhancing job satisfaction, and overall quality of life
