Employers today are facing a crisis of confidence amongst their employees resulting in higher resignations, staffing shortages, and «quiet quitting». 44% of employees today, for example, say they currently experience «a lot» of stress versus the previous day with 25% saying they felt worried, angry, or sad. People simply can`t work at their best if they don`t feel safe. Employers are thus increasingly seeking to leverage health and wellness initiatives to navigate change and uncertainty in their workplaces.

In this presentation, Drew Dudley offers audiences several simple yet transformative leadership strategies for embedding self-care strategies and cultivating resilience and psychological safety into their daily routines. Through powerful stories that recognize the difficult parts of life and work with humour and compassion, audiences will discover how to close the gap between the person they are and the person they want to be without compromising their happiness, fulfillment, or work-life balance.

This presentation is a great addition to your agenda if you believe your audience could benefit from a reminder that they are not alone in their frustrations and fears and that taking care of themselves is an essential part of feeling engaged and connected every day.

The Halton Early Years Mental Health Committee (EYMHC) is a cross-sector collaboration of service providers who work with infants/young children and their families. It's a pleasure to be back again this year to present this workshop titled: «A Discussion of Mental Health in Early Childhood Settings». We are hoping to draw new participants this year to hear our content. As a result of Covid-19, research is showing that there has been a significant rise in the reporting of mental health symptoms in many caregivers and a rising concern about children’s mental health. The role you play, as early childhood professionals, for children is pivotal in promoting the mental health and well-being of all young children and their families. A child′s well-being and healthy brain development is contingent upon infants and young children having healthy relationships with their caregivers. The workshop will also reference where to find the Halton Early Years Mental Health Toolkit itself; and highlight the many resources which can help promote ongoing professional development.
