MENTAL HEALTH NURSES’ CELEBRATION AND FIRESIDE CHAT
UNA Local 183 Education Committee in conjunction with UNA Mental Health Caucus is pleased to announce a Fireside Chat with Mental Health Nurse Leaders on May 8, 2024 at the Quarry Golf Course during 2024 Nurses’ Week Local 183 Celebrations.
UNA Local 183 is hosting the event and it will also be live-streamed out to the rest of UNA mental health nurses to be able to participate in this lively discussion.
This will be moderated discussion and a celebration of the work and dedication of RPNs and RNs over the last century in Alberta and Canada, and to generate deliberation, consideration and debate about the future for RPNs and RNs in this distinct, progressive and rapidly evolving area of nursing.
Following the event, there will also be a banquet included and a more informal socialization with members of the largest mental health Local in UNA.
As you well know, mental health nursing has a long and storied history and our hope is to foster a bright, meaningful and progressive future through advocacy and education.
We have 150 spots reserved for Local 183 members, there is no charge, and you can request a Professional Development day from your manager that day to attend.

SELF-CARE THROUGH YOGA with LISA
“I teach a Freedom Flow class and Derp Stretch and a relaxation class at Oxygen Yoga and Fitness in Sherwood Park on Saturdays and a Deep Stretch class on Sunday evenings. We have a weekly trial at Oxygen for $19 you can try as many classes as you want for one week. We offer both yoga and fitness classes at varying levels of intensity so there is something for everyone. It is a hot yoga studio-all classes are done at 32-36 degrees Celsius” – Lisa Gaglione
