1-Love your work; lose the burnout
Happy Child Life Month! How do you continue to do work you LOVE, without feeling overwhelmed, dysregulated, pre-irritated and stretched thin? Burnout in North America is at record levels: 66% of U.S. employees and 39% of Canadian workers experienced burnout in 2025 - we can’t do our best work this way. In this webinar, Trish introduces simple, quick, and science-backed tools to build resilience and reduce stress — without quitting your job, adding 30 minutes to your busy day, or retreating to a mountain cave. You’ll explore your relationship with stress, challenge the success-at-all-costs mindset, and learn low-maintenance mindfulness strategies to use even in the middle of a busy shift or high-stakes meeting. This session is ideal for high-stress, service-driven teams — educators, healthcare workers, nonprofit professionals, and anyone who’s great at helping others but struggles to help themselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Discover how to turn down the volume on mental stress so you can feel calm and present even in moments of chaos and stress. Develop response strategies to emotionally charged situations instead of reacting out of stress. Get practical strategies to develop sustainable mental and emotional capacity. Leave feeling empowered to take control of your stress response so you can reduce burnout.
Supporting children and youth who are grieving a death
The death of a significant person represents one of the most powerful disruptions in all aspects of a child or youth’s emotional existence. Yet few people, including professionals in the field of mental health, medicine, or education, receive formal training on how to support children and youth who are grieving a death. In this webinar Ms. Warnick will identify: • Common barriers to supporting children and youth who are grieving • Innovative and practical strategies that can be used in a variety of settings to help children and youth integrate the reality of the death into their lives in a healthy way • Important messages from children, youth, and their families that illustrate “best practice” guidelines for supporting the wellbeing of children who are grieving
