This lesson explores what exactly values and needs are, and how they impact our daily lives, decision-making, and goals.

This lesson gives practical examples of how to achieve work-life harmony. Learners are taught how to make conscious choices and avoid doing “half-things”. Learners are reminded of how to be realistic about finding work-life harmony, how to find flow activities and work with passion, how to prioritize relationships, and how to set boundaries while creating structure.

In this lesson, specific examples of challenges to work-life harmony are explored. Topics range from how to support a workaholic, getting motivated after a vacation, minimalism and decluttering, alone time in relationships, disconnecting to connect, to sleep hygiene and shift work.

We can all relate to the feeling of being sleep-deprived and equally to the feeling of a great night’s sleep. Sleep is a critical physiological function during which our bodies and brains rejuvenate. Science also shows that sleep is essential to our overall physical and emotional well-being.

Despite its importance, many of us don’t prioritize sleep as much as we should. One-third of working Canadians struggle with chronic sleep difficulties.

In this module, learners develop knowledge and techniques to enhance their sleep.

In this lesson, learners are familiarized with the basics of healthy sleep. The importance of sleep, impacts of reduced sleep, normal sleep patterns, circadian rhythms, the stages of sleep, and factors impacting sleep are all covered.

In this lesson, learners will explore common sleep problems like the persistent maladaptive cycle, dyssomnias, parasomnias, medical and psychiatric sleep problems, narcolepsy, jet lag, and dreams.

There are many things that can directly affect our ability to get a good night’s sleep. This lesson will help learners identify ways they can better their sleep hygiene through minimizing stress, anxiety, and worry. Additionally, learners will explore classical conditioning, their daytime activities, diet and nutrition, bedroom environment, and bedtime routines.

Civility and Respect is one of the 13 psychosocial factors that are encompassed within the best practice frame of the National Standard for Psychological Health & Safety in the Workplace. However, it’s a factor that cuts across all elements to the heart of mental health.
Our relationships, from our acquaintances to our closest friends, to our colleagues, to our bosses can be pretty amazing — but also complicated.

In this module, learners will get insights into civil and respectful communication and how to manage conflict effectively.
