Workshop 1: Delving in our Why: Rediscovering our Purpose

Thursday, September 23, 2021: 11:00 – 12:00 pm MT
With Liz Weaver, Tamarack Institute

In the busyness of our day-to-day lives, shuffling from one zoom meeting to the next, we may lose our way and our core purpose. This workshop is designed to re-energize you and reconnect you to the core of your work. Why are we engaged as rural community changemakers? What is the difference we want to make in our rural communities? This 1-hour workshop will help you reconnect with your core purpose and build your core purpose statement that answers the following: It’s not my job, it’s my why.

Scaling Alberta Programs:  Addressing COVID-19 and Beyond

Description:

This year has been a doozy and no matter where we live, what we do, or who we are, we can all have feelings of anxiousness, loneliness, low mood or depression and exhaustion.  So many people are reporting a feeling of ‘blah’ — known as languishing — during the pandemic.

Alberta’s Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are here to help you get through tough times no matter the reason. PCNs support family doctors with a team of health professionals, programs and services. One way the PCNs help people is by offering free evidence-based workshops.

On Thursday,  October 7, 2021 at 11 am  join us to learn more about  these workshops and how you can help ensure that people in your community are aware of this valuable resource.

RDPCN received a grant Mental Health and Addiction COVID 19 Community Grant to spread group programs and increase access to adult Albertans to address mental health issues due to COVID.  These groups include Alberta Anxiety to Calm, Alberta Health Basics, Alberta Happiness Basics, Alberta Relationships in Motion, Alberta Journey through Grief and Alberta Moving on with Persistent Pain.
