Three nursing organizations, Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU), Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses (CFMHN) and Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) have come together with Dr. Leigh Chapman, Chief Nursing Officer of Canada to address a major theme within the Nursing retention toolkit: Improving the working lives of nurses in Canada - Canada.ca: Organizational Mental Health & Wellness Supports. Join us for the first session hosted by CFMHN in our three-part webinar series, where we’ll provide an introductory overview of the Toolkits developed for organizational leaders to support you to thrive as a professional and achieve optimal mental health and wellness. This session will highlight the purpose, structure, and key features of evidence-based resources within a Toolkit(s), and how these tools can be effectively used in workplace settings along the continuum of care and across different sectors.
The first session will be hosted by CFMHN President, Don Leidl. Presenters will include Dr. Melissa Corrente, BA, BEd, MEd, PhD, Senior Research Associate, University of Ottawa on behalf of the Canadian Health Workforce Network (CHWN) and Kamlesh Tello, MSc, Manager, Prevention and Promotion Initiative from the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC). This session will set the stage for deeper dives in subsequent webinars on June 25, 2025 (1500 to 1600 hours EDT) hosted by CNA and September 2025 (date/timing TBD) hosted by CFNU and offer attendees the opportunity to engage with the teams behind the work.
We look forward to seeing you there! CFMHN, CFNU, CNA, MHCC & CHWN!
