Webinar Description:
Retirement is eagerly anticipated by some and a focus of anxiety for others. As with any major life transition, some clients seek pre-retirement counselling for support exploring opportunities, setting goals, making decisions, restructuring relationships, and preparing for the transition process. Retirement concerns include financial readiness, health and wellbeing, relocation, whether or not to return to work, and, ironically time management (most of the newly retired can’t figure out how they had time to work!). Through humorous case examples drawn from extensive experience facilitating pre-retirement workshops over the past 16 years, you’ll leave this webinar with tips and strategies for supporting your clients as they contemplate retirement.

Webinar Description:
Part 1: The first session focuses on specific challenges to counselling children and teens with Learning Disabilities. Self Esteem, Peer Pressure/Acceptance, Feelings of Failure/Inadequacies, and Self Disclosure cause more challenges for young people with LD(s) since they are not going to out grow the LD(s). Acceptance of their LD(s) is a long process for many and without it life continues to be lived in chaos.
Part 2: The second session deals with how to assist parents in understanding how Learning Disabilities affect the child. For example, it is the LD(S), not the child who is chronically late, disorganized, etc. It determines the way the parents attend to the child, either as a defiant, rebellious child who needs punishment/discipline or a child who needs help in developing coping strategies for living with the LD(s). Parents often blame themselves for the LD(s) or struggle with needing outside help. They often need help in the grieving process, grief for the loss of dreams/hopes as well as loss of what the healthy child looks like.

Webinar Description:
Dans les organismes d’employabilité, il arrive que l’on doive intervenir auprès de personnes ayant des problèmes de santé mentale. Pourtant habitués à travailler avec des individus de tous les milieux et de tous les genres, les intervenants/tes peuvent se sentir incompétents, impuissants à aider et mal à l’aise vis-à–vis ces personnes qui présentent des difficultés particulières. Quelle est la réalité actuelle entourant les gens aux prises avec des problèmes de santé mentale ? Y a-t-il de bonnes ou de mauvaises manières d’aider ces personnes ? Jusqu’à quel point pouvons-nous intervenir ? Cette conférence vise à aider les intervenants à mieux comprendre les problématiques entourant la santé mentale et adapter leur intervention avec les personnes aux prises avec des souffrances psychiques.

Webinar Description:
Did you know that both optimism and hope are linked to career success and job satisfaction? Hope is at the centre of the Career Flow model in the book that the presenter co-authored with Spencer Niles and Norm Amundson and positive psychology is embraced by many Canadian counsellors. However, although some clients are naturally optimistic, others struggle to keep their hope alive. Join this webinar for 10 tips to strengthen optimism – in yourself and your clients. Examine the importance of assuming the best, being grounded in reality, preparing for the unexpected, and accepting the occasional setback. Learn how to rekindle optimism during discouraging times.

Expat or Immigrant? Not Exactly the Same Thing

Webinar Description:
It’s a common misperception in Canada that anybody working here who is “from away” is an immigrant. Interestingly, however, we don’t tend to think of Canadians working abroad as having emigrated – rather, we consider them as expatriates (i.e., part of the global workforce, engaged in an international career). In fact, many of your clients, who appear at first glance to be immigrants, may actually be global careerists (i.e., expatriates from their home countries, temporarily in Canada for work).
This distinction is important for counsellors as the needs and expectations of international workers can be significantly different from those of immigrants. Learn from the presenter’s extensive experience with clients in international/global careers and challenge your assumptions. By distinguishing between immigrants and expatriates, you’ll be better equipped to meet the unique needs of clients from each of these groups.

Webinar Description:
The Career Engagement model (Neault & Pickerell, 2011) helps to explain why some people thrive at work while others feel overwhelmed or underutilized under very similar circumstances. Building on Csikszentmihalyi’s construct of “Flow,” Vygotsky’s notion of the Zone of Proximal Development, and the Career Flow model (Niles, Amundson, & Neault, 2011), the Career Engagement model highlights the necessity of matching challenge to capacity (i.e., too much challenge for individual and/or organizational capacity can be overwhelming; too little challenge, on the other hand can be equally disengaging, resulting in individuals being de-motivated and unable to fully contribute. Join co-developer of the model, Roberta Neault, to explore how to help your clients build capacity or take on new challenges to create optimal work experiences.

Webinar Description:
Self-employment is a growing trend in Canada. However, many counsellors and career practitioners don’t understand enough about self-employment realities to be able to assess their clients’ readiness or to provide adequate support as they decide whether or not to “take the leap.” Drawing from a recent project funded in part by CERIC, the presenter will share her own journey of self-employment over the past 30+ years and, through case examples, humour, and a touch of pragmatic realism, provide you with tips and strategies for helping your clients make an informed choice. You’ll also learn about the Look Before You Leap website, blog, course, and book – a useful suite of resources for counsellors and their soon-to-be-self-employed clients. This webinar will also be useful for counsellors considering private practice.
