Your 'spidey sense' is often an indication that a professional boundary is being challenged. This might happen in any aspect of your roles as an RMT: health care practitioner, customer service provider, business owner.

This seminar will help you recognize when a health care boundary is being crossed by a patient or by you, and will give you ideas on how to handle these situations better and safely.

Please join Glen Bergeron PhD, CAT(C)  for his presentation on Health Beyond the Medical in Massage Therapy.

Massage Therapy is a mechanical intervention that addresses the physical manifestations of pain and dysfunction. It is equally important to consider the multidimensional components of health and their impact on your clients’ health and recovery.
This presentation will look at the five dimensions of health (physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual) and how one affects the other. Each of the domains will be explored as they relate to your client interaction. Questions and open discussion will be encouraged.

With Deborah Romeyn, RMT

This course will be held over two days: February 24 & 25, 2021 

Mental Health First Aid – Basic is a 12-hour course in which participants will learn how to provide initial help to people who are showing signs of a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

The philosophy behind this training is that mental health crisis, such as suicidal and self-harming actions, may be avoided through early intervention.
If crisis do arise, then members of the public can take action that may reduce the harm that could result.

In the Basic course, the following mental health problems are covered:
·    Mood disorders
·    Anxiety disorders
·    Psychosis
·    Substance Use Disorder
 

At the end of the session, participants will understand the subtleties of health care boundary crossings and the insidious nature of their development. They will be able to evaluate their own practice habits and modify, if necessary, to ensure a safe, healthy, and positive treatment environment for both their clients and themselves.
