| Event Title | Summary |
|---|---|
| Introduction to APHA’s Climate & Health Youth Education Toolkit for Programming, Engagement and Education | This webinar provides an overview of the climate and health education curriculum and resources developed by the American Public Health Association (APHA) Children’s Environmental Health Committee. It can be used by public health practitioners, librarians, teachers, and other professionals for educational programming, youth engagement, and as an interactive activity. The presenters will share best practices for implementing and adapting the toolkit. |
| Mental Health First Aid | This day-long workshop presents strategies for recognizing signs and symptoms of mental health or substance use challenges and offer support without having to be a mental health professional. |
| Providing a S.H.I.E.L.D. When Disaster Strikes: Librarians and Healthcare Providers Collaborate | Presenters from the library team at the Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) in North Carolina will describe how, post-Hurricane Helene, they collaborated with healthcare providers and stakeholders to create portable disaster kits. |
| PTSD Resources at Work: A Toolkit to Raise Awareness | This webinar will cover PTSD and treatment basics, highlighting products and tools available on the NCPTSD website that are free to use and share. |
| Region One Insights: Information Safety and Trust | Patient safety measures often focus on avoiding harm to patients, but patients do not all define or experience safety in the same way. This webinar explores clinical and institutional definitions of patient safety and describes patient definitions of safety and trust collected from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded Postnatal Patient Safety Learning Lab. The webinar will discuss the connection between safety, trust, and patient health behaviors, and introduce two models for understanding positive safety and information marginalization in healthcare. |
| The Research Data Services Landscape: How Do You Start And Where Does Your Library Fit In? | This course is designed as an entry point for people unfamiliar with the field of research data services in libraries. The goal is to introduce what data services librarians work on and to present information on how learners can grow in this area. This includes mentioning other trainings offered by NNLM that would further their studies in data services. Learners will be able to describe the type of work done in data services and the subtopics found in data services. |
