Lunch & Learn - Foundations in Career Wellbeing Certificate with Douglas College

This Lunch & Learn series is a monthly opportunity for frontline career development professionals (CDPs) to connect, share ideas, and strengthen professional practice. 

This month, join Seanna Quressette from Douglas College. 

Come find out about a program that is designed to give you the tools to work with whoever walks through the door for a career conversation. You will learn about the FCWC (Foundations in Career Wellbeing Certificate) program. We will explore key concepts of working in trauma-informed ways in career development, and learn new ways to work that support you. 

You will leave with new words in your lexicon of trauma-informed practice and reflect on case studies. You will get to sample a bit of each of the five courses in the program that are designed to support you in your work with clients facing trauma and mental health challenges.

Seanna is a trained trauma therapist and a CCDP with over forty years of  experience in the sector. Seanna helped design the Foundations program to assist CDPs with the real challenges facing you at work.
