Call for Presenters — Mental Health Workshop

OSSTF/FEESO is inviting applications from members to be a presenter within the Educational Services Department for the following workshop:

MENTAL HEALTH

The Mental Health workshop will provide members with an opportunity to better understand the importance of mental health, the impact of mental illness, and offer strategies about how each of us can respond to the reality of mental health in education today.

While time release for all training and workshop dates are paid for by the Provincial Office, applicants should verify with their local President that there are no restrictions for time release for the Bargaining Unit. Successful trainees must be able to obtain time release from their employer to assist in the delivery of workshop offered across the province.

The presenter training for the workshops will take place February 22 and 23, 2023 in Toronto. Successful applicants are expected to attend this training session, with all costs for travel, lodging, and food covered by OSSTF/FEESO.

Members who are selected to participate in presenter training for OSSTF/FEESO are provided time to review materials for the workshops they will deliver.

Bargaining Unit Presidents will be contacted regarding any individuals being considered as potential trainees. Individuals who are selected to participate in the training will be notified, along with their Bargaining Unit President, following approval by the Provincial Executive.

OSSTF/FEESO values the participation of members with different voices from lived experiences. We recognize that the selection of candidates for Federation positions from members of equity-seeking groups is an asset. Self-identification of membership in equity- seeking group(s) is voluntary. If you choose to self-identify, please let us know on the application form any that apply to you.

Completed applications (see below), are to be submitted by the deadline of 4pm on Tuesday January 24, 2023. Any questions can be addressed by email to Rosemary Judd-Archer Rosemary.Judd-Archer@osstf.ca
