Education program
Learning series for cannabis education
Did you know that nearly half of all Canadians have reported that they have consumed cannabis at some time in their lives? It’s one of the most widely used medications in Canada. Why do people consume cannabis? What are the health benefits and risks? And, how does it affect safety at work and at home? It may be overwhelming to know where to start.
That’s why JADEO created a set of Learning Series for cannabis education to help you decide what’s right for you. From Cannabis 101 and Pain management, to On the Job Site, we’ve got all the information to get you started.
Stay informed and stay safe. Sign up for our learning series now!
Opioid outpatient program
Did you know that laborers are five to seven times more likely to die of an opioid-related overdose than people in other professions? It’s a staggering fact, and one that LiUNAcare Local 183 is committed to addressing.
We know that some of our members are struggling with opioid misuse and addiction. Sometimes the problem starts with an injury on the job. A physician prescribes an opioid to treat the pain, and within a day or so, the worker feels better and returns to work. But then the pain from their injury returns and they reach for their pain medication, and in less than a month, they are addicted.
We are taking steps to break the cycle of opioid addiction among our members.
In partnership with Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres (CATC), we offer LiUNAcare Local 183 members confidential access to both virtual and in-person opioid use support.
LiUNAcare Local 183 members and eligible dependents are entitled to priority access.
If you or an eligible dependent is struggling with opioid use, we urge you to contact a CATC team member today.
This service is completely confidential, so do not let privacy concerns get in the way of your wellbeing.
Begin your opioid recovery now. Call 1-877-937-2282 or find your nearest location here.
