SUMMARY:Building Psychologically Safe Workplaces - March 18
DESCRIPTION:For Community Social Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPsychosocial hazards can quietly affect staff well-being and service quality in community social services. In this webinar\, we’ll unpack WorkSafeBC’s five psychosocial hazard categories: interpersonal environment\, job design\, workplace conditions\, need for employer support\, and exposure to traumatic events. \n\n\n\n\nUsing real-world examples\, participants will build confidence in recognizing psychosocial hazards in their own workplaces—such as unclear communication\, discrimination\, skipped breaks\, and exposure to inappropriate behaviours. We’ll also examine how different workplace roles—employers\, managers/supervisors\, the Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee (JOHSC)\, and employees—can respond effectively to each hazard. The session will highlight preventive strategies that strengthen team resilience\, promote psychological safety\, and reduce risk. \n\n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with practical tools and strategies they can apply immediately in their teams and organizations. \n\n\n\n\nAt the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\nIdentify psychosocial hazards and categorize them using WorkSafeBC’s five-category framework.\nDescribe the roles and responsibilities of employers\, managers/supervisors\, the Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee (JOHSC)\, and employees in preventing and addressing psychosocial hazards.\nSelect and apply practical\, prevention-focused strategies that strengthen psychological health and safety\, support team wellbeing\, and reduce risk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\nTherese Barrozo \n\n\nTherese Barrozo is an Engagement and Wellness Coordinator with a background in social services and community-based work. She began her career in social services\, supporting community engagement and program development\, and later transitioned into health and safety. Her professional journey is informed by her lived experience of a workplace psychological injury\, which has shaped a trauma-aware\, systems-level approach to psychological health and safety. \n\n\n\n\nTherese holds a degree in Psychology with a minor in Law and Society\, as well as a certificate in Applied Project Management. She is a CMHA-certified Psychological Health and Safety Advisor\, Mental Health First Aid Facilitator\, and Wellness Exchange Facilitator.

SUMMARY:Building Belonging by Viewing DEI Through a Neuroinclusive Lens - May 27
DESCRIPTION:For Community Social Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany DEI efforts focus on what we can see. This session expands the conversation to include how people think\, process\, and learn. Designed for community social services professionals\, this presentation connects the principles of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion to neurodiversity\, a dimension of diversity that’s often invisible and under-discussed. Through practical strategies and a neuroinclusive lens\, participants will explore how to build environments where belonging isn’t just a value on the wall\, but something people actually experience at work. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n Describe how neurodiversity expands conventional understandings of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI)\, including invisible differences in thinking\, processing\, and learning\nExplain how neuroinclusive practices contribute to a stronger sense of belonging in community social services settings\nIdentify common workplace barriers that may unintentionally exclude neurodivergent individuals\nApply practical\, neuroinclusive strategies to foster belonging in everyday work environments\n\nAbout presenter\nJackie Connelly (she/her) is a neuroinclusive leadership consultant\, speaker\, certified organizational coach and stroke survivor with over a decade of HR and DEI leadership experience across public\, private\, and non-profit. Through her practice\, Coaching That Belongs\, Jackie partners with organizations to build neuroinclusive leadership capability through engaging in-person and virtual programs that move beyond awareness into sustained development and systems change. She also works with individual professionals\, many of them neurodivergent\, to build confidence\, clarity\, and a felt sense of belonging at work through 1:1 coaching. \nJackie holds a Post-Degree Diploma in HR Management and Leadership (Camosun College)\, a Certificate in Organizational Coaching (UBC)\, a Coaching Neurodiversity at Work certification (PersonaGrata Consulting)\, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (UBC). She is a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR)\, a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) BC Charter Chapter\, and is pursuing coaching accreditation through the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). \nJackie is grateful to be a guest on the island of S\,DÁYES\, the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples including SENĆOŦEN speaking W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations and Hul’quimi’num Treaty Group\, also known as Pender Island\, with her husband and their two dogs\, Josie and Yuna\, enjoying the nature\, beauty and calmness it offers every day. \n\n\n\n\n\nWatch Now

SUMMARY:It's Not You: The Impact of Nonprofit Systems on Leader Well-Being - June 24
DESCRIPTION:For Community Social Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe role of leaders in a non-profit organization is uniquely challenging\, and it is taking its toll – both on the well-being of those currently in these roles\, and on the capacity of the sector to invite new leaders to step in. There are systems at play\, and leaders are paying the price: \n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhaustion of never having enough admin support because of the ‘overhead myth’\,\nCorporate-colonial governance structures that lose sight of purpose\nThe constant expectations of funders\,\nThe tokenism of recruiting racialized and Indigenous leaders without addressing underlying racism and power dynamics in the organization\,\nThe stress of either staff unionization and/or employer/corporate -framed human resource systems and the “us vs. them” thinking this creates\, or\nThe chill of lobbying and advocacy laws that keep us from getting at core causes.\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar will explore those systems and offer practical tools for you to apply to support your well-being\, as well as highlight sector changes needed to reset the cycle of exploiting non-profits and their leaders to meet the world’s most challenging needs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
