Opening the Door to Mental Health Symposium 2023!
"Reinventing the Path to Work-Life Harmony"
February 22 and 23, 2023
Registration opens January 25, 2023
Brought to you by the BC Federal Council Community of Interest on Mental Health
Opening the Door to Mental Health is a two day virtual symposium on mental health and wellness organized by the Community of Interest on Mental Health and sponsored by the British Columbia Federal Council (BCFC). The theme for this year is Reinventing the Path to Work-Life Harmony. The program will provide us with expert advice, perspectives, and strategies as we navigate the challenges and changes in our evolving workplaces, all while attempting to find harmony in our daily lives.
We are not the same as before, having experienced so much change over the past three years. There is no going back and there is no final destination. There is however an opportunity to reinvent our paths by emphasizing ‘work-life harmony’. We know that work and life are never equal: there is no ‘work-life balance’. At times we work more and other times our personal life takes priority. At times the paths we forge can be flat and clear, while other times we feel like we are climbing a mountain or journeying through peaks and valleys. And at different junctures, we need a variety of tools and strategies to reach that harmony.
Managing our health is a skill that needs dedication. Knowing how, when and where to dedicate our time and effort requires both knowledge (of what works for you) and practice (actually taking action) . This year’s Symposium will cover both knowledge and practice, from an organizational perspective as well as individual strategies.
Day One we will focus on content to support building psychologically safe organizations, including panel discussions on burnout, the evolving workplace, and leadership empowerment. Sessions are from 8:30am until 1:30pm PST
Day Two we will turn inward and talk about strategies to nurture our bodies and minds, including: how to prioritize yourself, mental health healing strategies, setting boundaries, as well as powerful lived experience stories. Sessions are from 8:30am until 1:30pm PST
Registration for this virtual event will open on January 25, 2023, Bell Let's Talk Day 2023. Open to all regions, all public servants. The event sessions will be in English. Participants can pick and choose which sessions they wish to attend.
