Nearly 5 million workers were injured on the job in 2012. Individuals with first aid training tend to have fewer workplace injuries than those without (Miller and Andrew, 1973). As such, being First Aid and CPR certified is supported by the Employee Wellness program.  To receive the $50 incentive for completion of your First Aid and CPR certification you will need to fill out and submit a Level 1 Incentive Request form.  Please send evidence of your First Aid and CPR certification to EmployeeWellness@slcc.edu

QPR is a program that provides individuals with the skills and knowledge to recognize and respond to warning signs of suicide. 

What does QPR mean?
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.

A 4-week Series of Mindfulness Meditation: Presented by C.A.L.M (Center for Authentic Leadership and Mindfulness). In our modern lifestyle we are constantly being asked to perform and be productive. The world is moving faster, and we often feel the need to move faster and do more just to stay caught up. It can be a challenge sometimes to find space for ourselves, to balance, reduce pressure and stress, and feel that life is a friendly place. Mindfulness meditation can help us meet these challenges and more.

Join Katerina Salini and SLCC Employee Wellness for a 4-week Series of Mindfulness Meditation where we will learn about and practice mindfulness of breath, body, emotion, and mind as a means of finding our way back to ourselves with friendliness and kindness and discovering more resources in our mental landscapes. By the end, you will walk away with practical tools to start (or re-start) a mindfulness meditation practice of your own that you can apply in your daily life.

All employees at any experience level are welcome. Space is limited!
Submit the Registration form to sign-up for CALM Mindful Mediation.
