The Other Wet Floor (Two-Part Workshop)
Part 1: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm NDT
Part 2: Thursday, May 21, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm NDT
Hosted by the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre on Substance Use (NLCSU), this transformative two-part workshop offers a fresh “re-orientation” for those working in the mental health and addictions field.
Rather than focusing only on personal stress management, this session explores how organizational design and workplace environments impact collective wellbeing. Participants will examine psychological safety through a professional, evidence-based lens and gain practical strategies related to empathic strain, secondary traumatic exposure, burnout, and moral distress.
Facilitator: J.D. Gilmour, Manager of Employee Abilities & Return to Work at Health PEI and global consultant on psychological safety. With expertise in neuroscience and labour law, J.D. brings a practical, systems-focused approach to workplace wellbeing.
