Mental health is a union issue. Local union EFAP reps spent the weekend learning and growing at the #Unifor EFAP Conference: suicide prevention, lobbying, CMHA Ontario, four workshops. Now they take it back to their locals. #cdnpoli #canlab

043

This afternoon, delegates at the #Unifor EFAP Conference attended one of four workshops: critical incident stress, psychosocial hazards at work, tough conversations or Mental Health Matters. Skills for the calls that come late at night. #cdnpoli #canlab

.@cmhaontario.bsky.social CEO Camille Quenneville told the #Unifor EFAP Conference demand for community mental health services is up 21% post-pandemic while its workers earn 30% less than hospital staff. Delegates left with better ways to support members. #cdnpoli #canlab

Delegates at the #Unifor EFAP Conference learned how to lobby every level of government on mental health and addiction. Local 240 President Jodi Nesbitt: "If we never start lobbying, we will never make meaningful change." #cdnpoli #canlab

033

Day two of the #Unifor EFAP Conference began with suicide prevention training. Local union EFAP reps practised asking directly: Are you thinking about suicide? Then they filled a heart with messages of hope. Call or text 988. #cdnpoli #canlab

#Unifor Ontario Regional Director opened the #Unifor EFAP Conference tonight, thanking local union EFAP reps for being the first person members turn to. "Mental health doesn't exist separately from the conditions people are living and working in."

The #Unifor EFAP Conference opens today. This weekend is about learning, growing and sharpening the skills local union EFAP representatives use every day to support members and their families. #cdnpoli #canlab
