The Daily Bruin

In case of a fire, are you ready? Learn how and when to use an extinguisher, how to respond in a fire emergency, as well as how to prevent fires in a workplace. Read more here.

Join us on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 3-4, for the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute’s Strengthening Team™ Ethics & Legal Considerations Suicide Prevention two-day event.

Day 1: We will explore safety, security, risk and common ethical and legal concerns in healthcare practice, followed by applying these concepts to emerging roles in primary care (behavioral health clinicians and culturally responsive community health workers). We will share experiences of power differentials in high-quality primary care early adopters.

Day 2: Kent Corso, PsyD, will present “Proactive Reduction of Suicide in Populations via Evidence-Based Research.” After that, we will discuss suicide in healthcare workers, as well as a system-wide approach to suicide prevention in primary care sustained since 2011.

If you would like to register for the event, sign up here. Contact Tammy O’Doherty at todohert@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The College of Nursing and College of Social Work are looking for volunteers to participate in our Poverty Simulation on Friday, Oct. 21, from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in Canyon Commons on the Newberg campus.

This event is required for social work and nursing students, and we still need many more volunteers to pull this off! This is an eye-opening experience for everyone, and our past volunteers have really enjoyed helping our students in this valuable learning experience.

No preparation is needed; a packet will be given to you at the event with all that you need to know. You will have the opportunity to watch the students as they take on the role of a family living in poverty and go through daily tasks with the added challenge of poverty.

If you would like to participate, please fill out this Google Form by Friday, Sept. 23.

If you have questions, contact Kim Rapp at rappk@georgefox.edu, or Caroline Wildhaber at cwildhaber@georgefox.edu.
