SUMMARY:Webinar: Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Animal depopulation is associated with distressing psychological impacts on people. These impacts affect many stakeholders including veterinarians\, producers\, public health officials\, and others who make decisions about and carry out depopulation. The Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool (ADRCT) is a five-question public health protocol for stakeholders who are preparing for\, participating in\, and recovering from animal depopulation. \nADRCT questions have been developed in veterinary clinical environments over the last 20 years. Over the last 3 years\, through USDA APHIS National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program funding awarded to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians\, the tool has been reviewed by experts in human traumatology and data collected from depopulation stakeholders. This webinar will review the tool including how to use it and preliminary feedback about the tool gathered thus far. \nIntended Audience: Veterinarians\, physicians\, nurses\, Extension staff\, agricultural safety\, and health professionals\, farm managers\, farm workers\, and anyone else who may be involved with a depopulation event in their community. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nUnderstand the prevalence of trauma-related symptoms after potentially traumatic events\nDescribe the human stressors of animal depopulation\nKnow the five questions in the Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool\nBe able to apply the Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool safely\nUnderstand the resiliency flexibility sequence\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Exploring Health and Safety for Black Farmers: Racism\, Land Access\, Mental Health\, and Resources
DESCRIPTION:Summary: The number of Black farmers in the United States has declined over the last century. One hundred years ago\, farmers identifying as Black or mixed race made up about 14 percent of total ag producers. According to a 2017 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) census\, of the 3.4 million farmers across the country\, 1.3%\, or only 45\,508\, identify as Black compared to 95% who identify as Caucasian. This session will address significant challenges of Black\, mixed race\, and BIPOC ag producers in the United States\, programs to address racism and build equity\, identify critical concerns in health and safety\, including mental health\, and share community-based resources for rural residents\, growers\, farmers\, farmworkers\, and owner/operators. \nIntended Audience: Agricultural farmers\, ranchers\, supervisors\, farmworkers\, farmworker organizations\, health and safety professionals\, trainers\, promotores\, rural healthcare providers\, extension agents\, and others who work in agriculture. \nObjectives: \n\nDiscuss issues of racism and land loss faced by Black and mixed-race producers in the United States.\nIdentify four emerging health challenges to ag workers in rural/agricultural communities.\nShare community-based resources that provide information for rural residents\, growers\, farmers\, farmworkers\, and owner/operators.\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \n Disclaimer: Support of this webinar on Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility is due to the generous support of ButcherBox. We want to extend a special thanks to our sponsors and partners\, who make our work possible through their dedication and funding.

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

SUMMARY:Webinar: More than Milk: Strong Bones and Injury Prevention for Aging Women in Ag
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Do farmers or ranchers really retire? Generational family operations frequently include the aging parents\, the living legends of agriculture. Farmers and ranchers self-identify good health with the ability to work. The normal aging process slows down one’s ability to engage in meaningful activities physically and mentally\, essentially to continue working. Swirl in the postmenopausal issues incurred by the female farmer\, and a myriad of health hazards arise. \nUnlike men\, who experience a gradual loss of bone mass as they age\, women will lose over 30% of their bone mass in the first five years after menopause. Agriculture is a hazardous and uncertain profession. Women are working well past the age of menopause. Training measures should focus on avoiding common risk factors and preventative actions to decrease the likelihood of an injury. Workplace and home safety are achievable. We will also address other age-related changes such as vision\, hearing\, and sleep disturbance. Every member of the family operation will benefit from learning creative strategies and solutions to help the aging in-place seniors achieve wellness and self-fulfillment.\n \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-37171-SH1 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Women and Heat Stress
DESCRIPTION:Summary: People who work outdoors are more likely to become dehydrated and experience heat-related illness or heat stress. Although illness from exposure to heat is preventable\, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure every year\, and some cases are fatal. Agriculture is an industry where workers have suffered heat-related illnesses. Specific groups within the agricultural community\, including pregnant women\, older workers\, and young children\, could have elevated risks related to prolonged heat and humidity exposure. However\, with proper information and preventative action\, heat-related illness can be avoided for all populations in the agricultural community. \nThis training will identify the warning signs of heat-related illness and discuss prevention strategies\, including protective clothing and equipment to protect agricultural workers from the risks associated with prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-37171-SH1 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
