As the holiday season approaches, many in our community may need a little extra support. If you know someone who could benefit from a helping hand, we invite you to nominate them for one of five Christmas hamper baskets or one of thirty Co-op gift cards, courtesy of the Young Workers Committee and Nursing Care Committee.
SEIU-West Education Committee is encouraging our members to seek out the opportunities to take education on mental health.
In a report released by Statistics Canada, seven in 10 healthcare workers reported worsening mental health during the pandemic.
The Education Committee has researched several options to share with you:
Canadian Mental Health Association Saskatoon Branch has free online courses:
- Mental Health in the Workplace
- Stress in the Workplace
- Strong Families: Assertive Communication
- Strong Families: Building Boundaries
- Strong Families: Forgiveness
Get Help | 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline
The Schizophrenia Society has a partnership program to offer presentations. Their video is really interesting and can be found here.
And Saskatchewan Health Authority offers supports for Mental Health and Addictions Services as well.
We know that these are trying times, but know that you're not alone. There is help. Sk.211.ca is another great list of resources.
In solidiarity,
SEIU-West Education Committee

Dear Members,
We want to thank those who were able to come out last week to attend our very successful media event at the Legislature in Regina. It was great to see members from the three Health Care Provider Unions (HPUs) from across the province stand together in solidarity. During Question Period, multiple MLAs asked questions to the Premier and the Minister of Health on our behalf. We were also able to have meetings with the Opposition Caucus and the Minister of Health to address our concerns over the slow pace of bargaining and the state of health care in our province.
For Immediate Release
