Workshop: Self-Care and Collective Care in Our Work to Support Migrant Workers
2021-02-02 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
COVID-19 has created challenges in supporting migrant workers in ways that we couldn’t have imagined months ago. The pandemic has disrupted much of our lives and ways of working- bringing disconnection and fear.

Resisting burnout in this moment means we need to go deeper than the “self-care” we are normally prescribed and look at community collective care and our mental wellness through considering cultural, spiritual, relational and community-based ways to collectively support ourselves and our communities.

How do we support migrant workers who are in precarious work and whose health is at risk? How do we respond to isolation and fear? How do we embrace collective care for ourselves as workers so we can keep the care of migrant workers at the heart of our work? We will look at staying with connection, doing justice and community collective care as acts of resistance and believed-in-hope in this work.

The same workshop will be held on both dates. Please ensure that you only register for one workshop as space is limited.

Webinar: Financial Literacy: Introduction to Banking and Credit in Canada for Migrant Workers
2021-02-26 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Understanding the banking system is an essential component of adapting to life in Canada. Newly arrived migrant workers are often unaware of how the banking system works in Canada. This places them at significant risk of fraud or making mistakes that can impact their financial situation in a negative way.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide organizations who provide support services to migrant workers with information on what newly arrived migrant workers need to be aware of when it comes to the banking system in Canada. By having this information, service providers will be better equipped to answer questions and support migrant workers to avoid potential confusion, mistakes, or fraud.

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada will offer direction on topics such as how to build a credit history in Canada, things to be aware of when opening a bank account/dealing with banks, credit cards and other types of credits, choosing a financial advisor, and privacy and fraud risks to be aware of.

Webinar: Supporting Migrant Workers Experiencing Domestic Violence
2021-11-16 09:30 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Domestic violence is prevalent in all communities and COVID-19 has amplified the incidence of such abuses. With quarantine restrictions, precarious employment, and fewer supports available due to the pandemic, domestic abuses have been on the rise. Migrant workers face additional vulnerabilities in accessing supports due to lack of knowledge or availability of service, understanding of the law, language barriers and the cultural differences that may dictate their course of action in such abuses. Addressing the prevalence, impact, and best practices in responding to domestic violence can attribute to better supports for migrant workers.

In this webinar on domestic violence in migrant worker communities, we will examine:

Key terms and concepts of domestic violence including forms of domestic violence, risk factors and abusive relationship cycles
Impacts and risk factors of domestic violence on migrant workers
Strategies for responding to domestic violence for migrant workers
Offering support services including action plans, resources and referrals

Webinar: Conflict Resolution Strategies for Migrant Worker Support Organizations
2021-11-29 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Conflict in the workplace is a common occurrence. For migrant workers there are added factors such as language barriers, cultural differences and power struggles impacting relationships among migrant workers and with their supervisors/employers. The pandemic has also heightened the situation. There are fewer social events and activities for relaxation due to COVID-19, resulting in less outlets for workers to destress causing emotions to boil over. How conflicts are resolved has a huge impact on the worker and the culture of the workplace. It’s important for support workers to have greater understanding of conflict resolution techniques to support workers when conflict arises in their workplace.

In this webinar we will examine:

Key terms and principles of conflict resolution
Types of workplace conflict including worker and supervisor conflict and co-worker conflict
Conflict resolution strategies
Recommendations of techniques for resolving conflict for migrant workers in the workplace
