In this Webcast, we will confront the critical issue of provider mental health and breaking the silence on topics many avoid. Moving beyond the outdated mindset of "suck it up and move on," we embrace the modern view that it's okay to not be okay. But what happens when you or a colleague truly aren't okay? How do you respond when someone admits they are struggling, considering suicide, or feeling overwhelmed? Have you fostered an environment where such honesty is supported, or are these confessions still trapped, turning colleagues into statistics?Join us as we dive into these uncomfortable but crucial conversations and explore effective resources to effectively support your peers and most importantly yourself.... while earning 1.0 hour of CAPCE-accredited CE. Let's recognize that all of us, despite our Type-A personalities and reliance on caffeine, are human beings in need of support.

The roles of digital navigators are multifaceted, involving not just technical instruction but also empathetic support and understanding of the diverse challenges faced by those lacking access to digital resources. Moreover, for individuals on the wrong side of the digital divide, the inability to access digital resources can perpetuate feelings of exclusion, inadequacy, and frustration, potentially impacting their mental well-being. Thus, integrating mental health awareness into digital skills education is not just a matter of technical proficiency but a vital component of fostering inclusive, supportive communities in the digital age. Join us as we discuss strategies for fostering an environment of empathy, patience, and support so that we not only impart essential digital skills but also contribute to the emotional resilience and life-long empowerment of our learners.Raffle Giveaway: Managing Digital Navigators

Supporting infant and child mental health can be both extremely rewarding and challenging for practitioners working with families. Many different factors influence infant and toddler mental health, including their relationships, their community and the broader social context in which they live. While having limited social supports can contribute to poor mental health in children and their parents or carers, having a rich social support system, or a ‘village’, can promote mental health and wellbeing. This ‘village’ can include family members, friends and other trusted community members such as educators, community leaders, and healthcare providers. Practitioners can offer families more effective support by understanding their ‘village’ and what might be stopping families from reaching out for emotional or practical support. This webinar will discuss how to work collaboratively with families to engage with their ‘village’ and how this approach can influence infant and toddler mental health. Panellists will explore practice strategies that promote infant and toddler mental health and explore how asking questions about the family’s ‘village’ can help you better understand a family’s needs and strengths.

In Australia, over 45,000 children live in out-of-home care (OOHC). This webinar will outline practical ways to prioritise the voices of children in OOHC that can support their mental health and wellbeing.
