SUMMARY:Webinar: A Conversation on Cultivating LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces for Ag Youth
DESCRIPTION:Summary: It is important for agricultural educators to create inclusive and safe learning environments for all youth. This includes taking intentional steps to make LGBTQ+ youth feel like there is a space for them in the agriculture industry\, 4-H\, and FFA. But it’s not always easy to know where to start. \nYou can take your first step by joining us for “A Conversation on Cultivating LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces for Ag Youth.” This webinar is intended to equip ag educators with practical strategies and insights to foster inclusivity\, understanding\, and equity in their programs. Implementing this knowledge will enable teachers and leaders to best support all students. This increased support will go on to draw in even more students to join the program! (Increased inclusivity = increased # of members!) \n  \nWhy are we talking about LGBTQ+ youth in agriculture? \n\nJune is Pride Month\, a time to celebrate diversity and the LGBTQ+ community.\n45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in 2022 – but those who felt affirmed and supported at school had lower rates of acting on those thoughts (source: The Trevor Project).\nEveryone has a place in the agricultural industry and deserves to feel like they belong.\nBy cultivating an inclusive environment and safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in ag\, we can increase positive health outcomes for that population as well as increase the number of youth who plan to go into the ag industry in the future!\n\n  \nIntended Audience: Ag educators\, teachers\, parents\, community members \n  \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nHave a better understanding of LGBTQ+ youth and their experiences\nFeel confident in helping LGBTQ+ youth to feel like they have a space where they belong in agriculture\nBe prepared to create LGBTQ+ safe spaces in the ag education classroom\nBe able to find and share resources in the local community to support LGBTQ+ youth\n\n  \nSpecial thanks to the Cultivating Change Foundation (CCF) for working with AgriSafe to make this webinar a reality! CCF is a nonprofit whose goal is to “value and elevate LGBTQ+ agriculturists through advocacy\, education\, and community.” \n  \n Watch the Recording Here  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Combating Heat and Cold Stress for Forestry Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forestry workers may be subject to extreme heat and cold. Working outdoors makes people more likely to become dehydrated and experience heat-related illness or heat stress. High temperatures reduce work capacity and may lead to heat stress and dehydration. Although exposure to heat stress is preventable\, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure every year\, and some cases are fatal.  Similarly\, cold weather can reduce dexterity\, blood flow\, muscle strength\, and balance. Hypothermia\, frostbite\, trench foot\, and chilblains are all illnesses and injuries caused by cold stress. However\, forestry workers can avoid heat-related illness and cold stress with proper information and preventative action. This presentation will explore both weather-related conditions and their impact on outdoor workers. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging\, including fallers\, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers\, logging equipment operators\, sawing machine setters\, operators and tenders\, and truck drivers. \nObjectives: After the training\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine Heat Stress\, Cold Stress\, and their related conditions.\nIdentify vulnerable populations and critical warning signs for interventions.\nShare essential resources for Workplace Safety Practices.\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant #SH-000099-SH3 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
