Designed to advance health and safety at work, at home and on the road, the NSC Congress and Expo will take place Sept. 6-12 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif. FEI’s Business Solutions Engineer, Raquelle Solon, will present “Move to the Front: A Brain Science Approach to Crisis Management” on Sept. 11 at 1:00 p.m. PST.

Critical incident stress management is a crucial tool for maintaining resilience and recovering from a disaster. The session will explore how organizations can identify and react to critical incidents using “Move to the Front,” a stress management practice that incorporates the evolving science of the brain. Psychological first aid, critical incident response, employee assistance programs and case studies will be discussed as ways to overcome adverse experiences and build “Move to the Front” resiliency in safety professionals and organizations.

Solon is responsible for helping organizations determine and implement a holistic crisis management system. She also is responsible for the delivery of workplace violence prevention, leadership development, and crisis management trainings, and is experienced in reviewing current training and policies and procedures to identify gaps and work with clients towards a solution.

The largest conference in the Midwest specific to promoting employee well-being, the conference will be held at Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, Wis. FEI will also exhibit.

Peer support is an approach to workplace wellness that uses the nonclinical strengths and abilities of motivated, trained staff volunteers to enhance the resilience and productivity of their co-workers and, by extension, their organizations. With peer support, employers can strengthen internal resources and sustain the well-being of employees with guidance from behavioral health expertise and consultation. The session will examine how organizational leadership, with the help of their employees, can organize a peer support program that formalizes an internal approach to sustaining ongoing workplace wellness.

McCafferty is a skilled coach and consultant who partners with leaders, teams and individuals, motivating them to move from disengaged to engaged and from problem to solution. With a diverse background including experience in health care, human resources and construction, he has a long track record and personal commitment to helping organizations create the conditions for success. Since receiving his master’s in social work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1997, McCafferty has provided consultation, training, counseling and employee assistance program services to organizations of all sizes in industries as varied as manufacturing, financial services, state and municipal government and higher education.

This October, for National Seafood Month, renew your commitment to creating and serving meals at home that nourish your kids’ bodies, brains, and help them flourish for life.

“Research shows having regular family meals can be life-changing. … We see the kinds of outcomes we all want for our children: higher grades and self-esteem, healthier eating habits and weight, and less risky behavior.” – Seafood Nutrition Partnership President Linda Cornish

ARLINGTON, Va. (PRWEB)
August 28, 2019

Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) is here to inspire Americans to enjoy seafood at least twice a week by showing how buying and preparing seafood is simple and delicious! For National Seafood Month in October, we are bringing the focus back to family.

Be thankful for October, after the back-to-school rush and before the holiday hectic. It’s the perfect time to focus on sitting down together as a family to regroup. Renew your commitment to creating and serving meals at home that nourish your kids’ bodies, brains, and help them flourish for life.

“Research shows that having regular family meals can be life-changing,” SNP President Linda Cornish said. “When children and parents gather around the table and engage each other in conversation, we see the kinds of outcomes we all want for our children: higher grades and self-esteem, healthier eating habits and weight, and less risky behavior.”

Fish and shellfish are good options for busy nights. Most seafood can be cooked in 15 minutes or less. Additionally, fish and shellfish are good sources of lean protein, low in saturated fat and rich in vitamins and minerals, most notably the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and American Academy of Pediatrics both recommend at least two servings of seafood per week to support heart and brain health.

Seafood Nutrition Partnership is working with the Food Marketing Institute Foundation to emphasize the importance of family meals, expanding National Family Meals Month throughout the year and into a true movement – the Family Meals Movement.

“We commend SNP for their visionary partnership with food retailers in providing consumers the easy means of achieving their desire for more family meals at home each week,” said David Fikes, Vice President, Communications & Consumer/Community Affairs at the Food Marketing Institute. “Their action leads the charge for National Family Meals Month becoming a year-round endeavor and is a great example we hope others follow.”

Join us as we work collaboratively with health partners, seafood companies, retailers and dietitians from across the country to bring families back to the table. SNP has created a toolkit for partners to utilize as they participate in National Seafood Month.

This toolkit showcases resources for:

SNP wants to help your family eat well together to be well together. We’re committed to helping you make shared meals at home fun, affordable and healthier.

You and your family are an important part of our community! Show your commitment to more meals on social media. Share your own family meal experiences, misadventures and solutions with your social channels, and don’t forget to use hashtags #SeafoodMonth and #FamilyMeals.

Seafood Nutrition Partnership

Seafood Nutrition Partnership is a charitable nonprofit with a mission to create a healthier America through consumption of seafood. SNP addresses the biggest barriers to eating seafood — a lack of confidence in knowing how to select, buy, prepare and eat seafood — to encourage more Americans to consume fish, shellfish and omega-3s as part of a balanced diet.

SNP provides resources that help answer customers’ questions about seafood and health and encourages balanced nutrition throughout the lifespan. SNP’s outreach materials emphasize seafood at all price points, ease of prep and cooking, and provide culturally relevant recipes — many of which feed a family of four for less than $10 and can be made in less than 15 minutes.

Food Marketing Institute Foundation

Established in 1996, the Food Marketing Institute Foundation seeks to ensure continued quality and efficiency in the food retailing system and is operated for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. To help support the role of food retailing, the FMI Foundation focuses on research and education in the areas of food safety, nutrition, and health. The FMI Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

We wanted to create a kaleidoscope, where it is easy to turn to a page and find insight within color and sound and imagery.

POTOMAC, Md. (PRWEB)
September 10, 2019

Newly released “Dream in Color” by poet Allison Whittaker and watercolor artist Pritha Srinivasan is an unusual collaboration that offers a beautiful and thought-provoking journey through five chapters of human experience.

The poet and artist spent several years where sometimes Srinivasan painted to Whittaker’s poems and other times, Whittaker wrote to Srinivasan’s paintings. Together, the dynamic watermedia and lyrical verse capture the subtle duality of an experience, frozen in time, evoking powerful emotions. “Allison and I felt strongly that this selection of our work offer something provocative for a wide audience,” Srinivasan explains. “We wanted to create a kaleidoscope, where it is easy to turn to a page and find insight within color and sound and imagery.”

Whittaker further explains the duality of the collaboration, “Pritha and I are from different east-west upbringings, finding ourselves living literally on either side of a stream in Potomac, but our work reflects a common shared experience. There is an undercurrent of something other, something beautiful, in all the world has to dish out, which continuously reveals itself as we age and evolve in our own perspectives. Bringing this undercurrent to the forefront is something Pritha and I hoped to accomplish in our book.”

Praise for “Dream in Color”:

“Pritha Srinivasan’s lyrical watercolors are paired gloriously with Whittaker’s dreamlike poetry, creating an elliptical, intensely personal vision.” —Adrienne Miller, author of “The Coast of Akron”

“‘Dream in Color’ makes a powerful statement. As you turn these pages, you will experience the duet of their collaboration. . . . simply delicious!” —Lynne Haussler Oakes, Founder of The Art League of Germantown
