HEARTcare is purposely investigating and implementing supports and resources available to educational workers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
HEARTcare is purposely investigating and implementing supports and resources available to educational workers.

The original Compassion Fatigue, Burnout, and Emotional Labour study reports can be found under Phase One, Phase Two, and Full Research Study Executive Summary.

Create a HEARTcare plan to figure out how you respond to occupational stress and distress, ways to identify crisis and trauma work, and investigate available interventions to restore or maintain your emotional and mental health.

Trauma work involves working with children, youth, or other adults who disclose a traumatic event to you. Traumatic events are highly charged experiences that trigger an intense response from the student or your colleague.

Crisis work involves working with children or youth during a traumatic event, like a fire, flood, or other natural disaster. It can also refer to working with a student who is behaving violently towards themselves or others.

Ahh, that's where HEART comes from...

1. School interventions are meant to create a positive workplace for students and staff alike.

2. System interventions are policies that prioritize and resource student and employee wellness.

3. Professional interventions involve accessing expert assistance to improve employee wellbeing

4. Individual interventions require understanding and prioritizing self-care as related to occupational health.

5. Educational worker interventions acknowledge the unique crisis and trauma work provided in school or learning environments.

Towards More Systemic and Sustainable Approaches to Mental Health and Wellbeing in K-12 Education

In Canada, K-12 education systems have a key role in developing strategies to support the mental health and wellbeing of students and staff. While stand alone programs have provided useful content for educators in addressing mental health and wellbeing, it is increasingly recognized that more systemic and sustainable solutions are required to address these issues over the long-term.

Grounded in discussions that took place at two National Roundtable events, this paper outlines why and how K-12 system leaders and their partners must move beyond one-off interventions, programs, and professional development towards an approach where mental health and wellbeing is integrated in the core mandate of public education.

Schools are central hubs and link directly to home and community; and can model wellness promoting environments for all.

The Palix Foundation created the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative (AFWI) to improve global health by mobilizing science in these areas.

The Insight

Lifelong health is determined by more than just our genes: early life experiences change our brains in ways that make us more or less vulnerable to health problems in adulthood.

Knowing that, how can we improve the health of everyone in our communities? The Palix Foundation pursues that question across the widest possible range of disciplines.

1. Supporting research into early brain development, mental health, and addiction.

2. Bringing together scientists, policymakers, the judiciary, and health and education professionals to work on solutions together.

3. Educating everyone about the science of brain development and its impact on lifelong health.

We all have a stake in the health of our communities, including the health of vulnerable individuals.

By educating each other on the science behind brain development, we can take action that will improve our physical and mental health, reduce vulnerability to addiction, and address related health problems across the lifespan.

Healthier Together Workplaces Program

Together, we can decrease financial costs, improve employee physical and psychological health & safety, and enhance corporate social responsibility.

Just as workplace safety programs have protected workers from injury, effective workplace health programs reduce health risks and improve quality of life for the roughly 2.5 million Alberta workers. On average Albertans spend 35 hours per week at work, this means that for almost half (44%) of our waking hours our working environment is influencing the choices we make around our health.

The Healthier Together Workplaces Program offers you a step by step process with easy to use tools and resources to promote employee health and well-being.

What makes life worthwhile?

We are quick to buy into programs that promise to help us make money, lose weight or strengthen our relationships. We spend a few weeks dedicating our time and energy to that specific plan, but eventually we give up on these programs when they conflict with other aspects of our lives.

You are not just one aspect of your life. You are more than that.

Wellbeing is about the combination of our love for what we do each day, the quality of our relationships, the security of our finances, the vibrancy of our physical health and the pride we take in what we have contributed to our communities.

Most importantly, it is how these five elements come together in a unique way to form your ideal life.
