University of Kentucky Human Resources Elder Care, in partnership with the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, is hosting several events for Dementia Caregivers Week, Nov. 7-10. The theme for the week is "Embracing the Dementia Caregivers Journey."
What do you do when you witness someone struggling with suicidal thoughts or when someone tells you they intend to harm themselves? The University of Kentucky offers an online program called QPR to equip you with the right answers and actions. Think of it as a CPR program for mental health crises. Dr. Greg talks with Marc Woods, Chief Nursing Officer for Behavioral Medicine at UK HealthCare and Eastern State Hospital about QPR, which stands for Question, Persuade and Refer.
The University of Kentucky Human Resources office will welcome Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America President and CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett to campus Wednesday, Oct. 19, for a fireside chat session.
Feb. 20-26 is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Week. A CSA is a convenient way to enjoy fresh produce and other farm offerings while supporting local growers. UK HR Health and Wellness offers $100 and $200 vouchers enabling employees with UK health insurance plans to participate in the program.
Summer is fast approaching. And for many University of Kentucky employees, finding the right summer camp opportunities for their child will become a priority. To make the process easier, UK HR Work-Life invites the UK community to attend the virtual Summer Camps Roundtable from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2, via Zoom.
