SUMMARY:APIN half day session - “Skills for Defusing Anger and Resolving Conflict”
DESCRIPTION:Skills for Defusing Anger and Resolving Conflict \nIn these changing times\, there has been an increase in polarization within communities around issues of health care and\, in some cases\, increased distrust for health care professionals\, service providers and public officials in general. \nThese dynamics include misunderstanding\, miscommunication\, and tensions\, both spoken and unspoken. \nThis workshop is for service providers who work with young parents and encounter challenges providing support when the young parent may be expressing anger and defensiveness towards the service provider. \nIn this inspiring yet practical half-day session\, participants will connect with their peers\, provide one another emotional and practical support\, share/brainstorm ideas for best practice\, and explore/enhance tools for application to the specific challenging scenarios health care professionals face in 2022. \nFacilitator – David Dyck \nDavid draws on a wealth of practical knowledge to inspire and equip others to make difficult moments better\, clearer\, happier and more productive. He is an energetic and dynamic speaker who sparks the imagination while also equipping participants with the ideas and skills needed to address real-world dilemmas.

SUMMARY:APIN Lunch and Learn - Reclaiming Our Power Through Care
DESCRIPTION:DATE:   Tuesday\, June 7\, 2022 \nTIME:  12:00pm – 1:00pm \nLOCATION:  Online – Go to Meeting \nPlease join my meeting from your computer\, tablet or smartphone. \nhttps://meet.goto.com/841686389 \nGet the app now and be ready when your first meeting starts: https://meet.goto.com/install \nSPEAKER:  Courtney Teetaert\, (she/her) lives in Winnipeg. She is a partner\, and a parent of 2 kids. Most of her career has been as a nurse working at Children’s Hospital on the cancer and organ transplant ward. She has recently completed her Master of Nursing from the University of Manitoba with a research focus on the power in care. Courtney is a curious daydreamer who likes to spend her time being outside and doing crafts. She is currently working on a quilting project that represents her findings from her nursing research. \nPRESENTATION:  This presentation will acknowledge the struggles we face caring for others in the busy and noisy world we live in and how the emotional work we use to connect with others can feel like such a burden. Coming from the experience of being a bedside nurse and bringing in the knowledge of others\, this presentation will bring to light how our connective work we create in providing care makes us stronger.  By shifting the focus of care from burden to power\, we can uncover how caring for others is a radical act that we can use to create change. \nTo register\, please go to: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/apin-lunch-and-learn-tickets-349819077277

SUMMARY:Traditional Family Parenting - Indigenous Child Development
DESCRIPTION:The western world has only begun to understand and honour Indigenous knowledge systems and views on Child Development. It is now time to reclaim Traditional Knowledge and provide the unique perspectives by our own people sharing Indigenous philosophies. Decolonization is the process of Reclaiming of who we are as Indigenous people; by reaching into our past and connecting with our Ancestral identity in order to heal our people. We are witnessing harmful colonial cycles unfolding as many are in the healing process to make positive changes. \nIn promoting the pride and traditional teachings with our people we will make a better future for the next generation. Traditional teachings are a source of strength\, identity and survival that helped us to understand who we are and how to relate to the natural world. The teachings are still in our communities where they have been sacredly held. The teachings are here for generations to come\, as parents and grandparents we have a duty and the responsibility to ensure that they are shared and promote parenting practices of our ancestors. \nTeachings came in many forms\, some are from an ancient time when the world was a very different place\, before it changed to the world we see today. Some are teachings of the natural world which were lessons from the animals\, birds\, fish\, plants and trees\, nature was the original teacher. The Creator made plants and animals first we learned about relationships and parenting skills from the animals. How nature parents is how we parent\, Grandparents were the teachers\, sharing the wisdom gained through years of life experience\, taught and role modelling the importance of choosing words carefully to not bring harm to another and be careful in how you walk so the generations to come will know how to walk in a good way. \nSPEAKER:  Ko’ona Saber – Ko’ona is member of the Bizhiw doodem (Lynx Clan) raised in Peguis First Nation\, where her father Walter George Cochrane was integral in the reclamation of indigenous cultural practices prior to her birth in 1970. As a single mother to a strong\, spirited child Ko’ona has much personal and professional experience in advocating and assisting families who have children with additional support needs. Ko’ona has extensive experience in helping to strengthen and support indigenous families through work in health promotion\, indigenous issues\, community development in addition to providing cultural programs and supportive services.
