SUMMARY:Webinar: Overcoming Barriers and Understanding the Psychological Impact of Livestock Euthanasia: A Study on Spanish-Speaking Swine Caretakers’ Pig Euthanasia Practices on U.S. Farms
DESCRIPTION:Summary: The webinar will be focused on the impact of pig euthanasia on Hispanic farmworkers\, explaining the need to consider the cultural background of the people as part of effective training and welfare practices. We will delve into the importance of timely and humane euthanasia in maintaining both animal welfare and industry standards. This session will highlight the diverse demographics of the U.S. swine industry workforce\, particularly the significant presence of Latin American workers who may face unique cultural and psychological barriers.  \nParticipants will gain insights into the findings from a comprehensive study conducted across 16 farms in Iowa\, where almost 200 Hispanic caretakers were surveyed and answer that assessed their attitudes and challenges related to pig euthanasia.   \nKey discussion points will include:  \n\nThe psychological impact of euthanasia on caretakers\, with a focus on secondary traumatic stress and its higher prevalence among female workers. \nThe critical role of customized training programs is to improve the ability to identify compromised pigs and perform timely euthanasia. \nBy understanding these factors\, attendees will be better equipped to develop and implement targeted training initiatives that address cultural sensitivities\, ultimately enhancing worker satisfaction\, animal welfare\, and compliance with industry audits. \n\nIntended Audience: Swine industry professionals\, farm managers and owners\, animal welfare advocates\, agricultural trainers and educators\, human resource managers in agriculture\, veterinarians and veterinary technicians\, policymakers and regulatory bodies\, researchers and academics \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify and understand the cultural and demographic barriers that Hispanic farmworkers face in performing timely and humane pig euthanasia.\nGain insights into the importance of timely euthanasia in the Common Swine Industry Audit (CSIA) context and learn strategies to enhance compliance with industry standards through improved training and practices.\nUtilize the insights from the research to improve on-farm practices\, ensuring timely and humane euthanasia processes that align with industry standards and enhance animal welfare. \n\n  \n Watch the Recording Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Culture is Our Wellness [La Cultura Cura]
DESCRIPTION:Culture is our Wellness [La Cultura Cura]\nSummary: The science of medicine has been part of every culture around the world. However\, the contemporary allopathic medical model represents only part of our understanding of health\, healing\, and wellbeing\, and not failing to mention\, it is not always accessible to marginalized communities. This webinar introduces the practice of Curanderismo as an ethno-indigenous form of health and healing originating in Mesoamerica and practiced among many Latinx communities. The presenters will discuss their work with traditional medicine and present the specializations of Curanderismo\, which can be used by people of all cultural backgrounds and various health providers with their patients. \nThe presenters will begin with a brief opening ceremony\, provide their personal narratives of traditional healing\, a historical grounding of Curanderismo\, present the specializations of the traditional medicine\, and discuss current efforts to integrate traditional and allopathic medicine. \nObjectives: At the end of this presentation attendees will be able to… \n\nDescribe a general knowledge base of Curanderismo.\nIdentify the specializations of traditional healing practices.\nAppraise the role of traditional healing in their work.\n\nIntended Audience: Healthcare\, safety\, occupational\, and agricultural professionals\, and anyone with an interest in learning how these health practices impact health beliefs and wellbeing for populations that value this specialization in healing. \nPresenters: \nCaroline E. Ortiz\, MS\, MPH\, RN\, NC-BC\, Associate Professor – Holistic Nursing Program\, Pacific College of Health and Science \nGrowing up bicultural and bilingual along the U. S.-Mexico border in the Texas Rio Grande Valley\, Caroline encountered a myriad of perspectives on health. As the daughter of a nurse\, she took her medicine and followed the doctor’s orders. As the granddaughter of a Mexican woman\, she drank her herbal teas\, submitted to body sweepings with an egg\, and followed the recommendations of the local curandera. Now with over 25 years of nursing experience\, Caroline’s work\, which has been shared locally\, nationally\, and internationally\, centers on promoting individual and community health through holistic approaches. Currently\, she is an Associate Professor in Holistic Nursing at Pacific College of Health and Science and a doctoral student at Villanova University. Caroline is apprenticing in curanderismo\, the traditional Mesoamerican medicine from Mexico\, and researching the use of traditional medicine by Mexican American women living in the Texas Rio Grande Valley. This path has brought her back to where she started… navigating life with a foot in two worlds. \n  \nThomas A. Chávez\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor/Research Faculty\, University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center\, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, Division of Community Behavioral Health \nDr. Thomas A. Chávez is a counseling psychologist and currently a faculty member at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center/School of Medicine. He has taught courses in counseling with an emphasis on cultural proficiency. His scholarship focuses on improving the health and well-being of Latinx communities through culturally centered interventions. In part\, his mission is to integrate traditional medicine to promote holistic health. As such\, he has grown up with the practices of traditional healing and has over ten years of practice in the specialization of traditional massage and ventosas (fire cupping) and facilitating sweat lodges. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n Watch Now  \n\n
