Description

Welcome to this course on health and well-being in the workplace.  This course will help you develop health-giving habits in the workplace. Through the training in this course, you will maximize your engagement with work and the environment. It does not matter what work you are currently engaged in; whether in the office, as a homemaker, or in the field. Whichever work you engage in, you need an awareness of how your body works in performing life occupations and work. Such awareness will help you to develop correct practices, habits, good health, well-being, and longevity.

Together, in this course, we will develop skills for correct engagement with work. This will result in long-term health and well-being. We will learn that the back is the core structure for postures and well-being. It is essential to connect our back and body structure with our daily work and promote harmonious engagement between the body, occupation, work, and environment to maintain health and contribute to overall well-being. We will also learn a little about occupational therapy and how to seek its services when needed.

In addition, we will develop more skills for healthy practices in our workspaces. We will also apply health principles in the workplace. The goal of this course is to enable us to reflect on how we engage with our daily activities, work, and the general environment. Hopefully, this course will assist us in developing health-giving skills and habits. Welcome!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in healthy living and preventing work-related illnesses or injuries..
  • Anyone interested in learning how and when to access occupational therapy services.
  • Everyone seeking continuous professional development.
