Psychological injuries are workplace injuries. The unseen injuries members acquire in the workplace are extremely important to name, understand and support. These types of injuries can include: Trauma, PTSD ( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Mental Stress Injuries, Depression, Anxiety, Grief and Burnout to name a few.
Come join us and learn more.
This webinar will bring two guests to speak about Psychological injuries and WSIB entitlement as well as thinking about the different types of injuries and what they look like within OPSEU/SEFPO workplaces; what kind of barriers and difficulties do workers face and what supports are out there. The guests will share their knowledge and we hope to have time for Q&A.
This event is being held the week of the National Day of Mourning, where we remember those workers lost to workplace injuries and highlight the importance of workplace safety.
