Mental. We wanted to mark a time in April’s life so that she knows that she needs to expect herself to act in a more mature fashion. Many people spoke up and gave April the encouragement she needed to make the transition from girl to young adult. Emotional – I have worked with April since elementary school, so it was very emotional for me as she is growing up into a lovely young lady. Xxxxx’s parents also felt deep emotion as they are accepting that she is going through some major changes in her life. Her support staff also felt very emotional, as they work closely with Xxxxx and support her through her changes at OMS. Was it Successful? A very successful ceremony! Gifts that we made included war bonnets, mini drums, dragonflies, paddles, sage bundles and cedar headbands. April wore her shawl that she started in elementary school with myself, and finished in middle school. The boys learned a Nuu Chah Nulth prayer song from Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx and the adults who work with Xxxxx at her school were able to bond with her in a positive way. Ideas for Next Year  More big sticks for the field lacrosse workshops at other schools.  Money set aside to buy butts for the lacrosse sticks, and tape, to tape them on so they don’t come off.  Another Canoe Journey, with more money set aside for food, as we barely had enough money to feed the 24 participants who came.  This year, the counselor and I decided that next year, we will sit down in the fall to decide on a gift to be given to all the new grade six’s coming into OMS. We can work on the gifts starting in October, so that by May we will have enough items made to give a gift to a new grade six student. Goal Fitting into the OMS Growth Plan One of our OMS school goals ties directly into this First Nations Cultural Program – it is:

Mental noise Stress impacts how people process information. In this model, stress can impede the line of communication [45; 46]. Negative dominance In the negative dominance model, negative and positive information is processed simultaneously, with negative information bearing more weight [45]. As such, the audience may pay more attention to negative information and this information may be retained longer [46]. Trust determination This model emphasises the essentialness of establishing trust in risk communication and how trusted groups may be able to communicate when the public are having trouble accepting information [46]. Once trust is formed, other goals can be achieved [45].

The employee may be required to visit the Health Services Section for a Return To Work health assessment. To be eligible for SBA benefits, an employee will not be required to provide a medical note for the first five days of absence in each cal- endar year for sickness or injury.

The Commission will delete SBA By-law no. 4 which states “[f]or the third and subsequent incidents of illness in a calendar year, the first day will be deducted”. Employees required to report to the Health Services Section for a periodic health assessment will have any loss of pay made up. Should a dispute arise between the employee’s physician and the Health Services Section as to fitness to resume (or not) their regular or other work, the employee shall be referred to an independent medical consultant mutually agreed upon by the Union and the Commission for an independent medical examination (IME), and the consultant’s opinion of the employee’s physical or mental condition shall be considered in the decision finally made as to the employee’s fitness to resume their regular or other work. In lodging an appeal from the Health Service’s original decision, the employee shall guar- xxxxx the payment of the consultant’s fee. Should the original deci- sion of the Health Services be revised, the Commission shall pay the consultant’s fee. Should the Health Service’s original decision be sustained, the consultant’s fee shall be paid by the employee. In all disputes respecting fitness for work (or not) on medical grounds, the independent medical assessment must be utilized before proceeding to arbitration. The letter of referral to the independent medical consultant shall be signed by a representative of Manage- ment and a representative of the Union and shall contain information provided by the employee’s own Physician as well as any other per- tinent information. It shall also direct the independent medical con- sultant to send to both the Health Services Section and the Union any report or correspondence concerning the employee or any matter arising out of the referral. The employee shall be required to sign a letter authorizing the foregoing. Should the independent medical consultant’s decision remain in dis- pute concerning the employee’s fitness for duties, no medical evi- dence concerning the employee’s diagnosis or prognosis other than that provided to the independent medical consultant shall be intro- duced at any arbitration hearing. Employees will be required to notify their Supervisor or Foreperson of their intention of returning to work the day before actually return- ing to work.

  • PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychologist and patient, and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods I may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home. Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to have many benefits. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience. Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with therapy. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions of whether you feel comfortable working with me. Therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, I will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion.
