Wellness & Well-being Highlights January 8

Wellness & Well-being Highlights

for the

Week of January 1, 2023

 

This week’s edition of our Worker Wellness & Well-being blog consists of topics from making/ignoring New Year’s resolutions to the impact of legalized marijuana in MO to recognizing the life, death, and mental health aspects of collision sports. Today, I wish to highlight the article that landed in my email 24 hours ago from the New York Times on Tranq Dope. If you have been following this blog for the past year or so, you should have noticed a number of articles on fentanyl and how it is destroying our people and their communities. I recently finished reading a 2021 book by Sam Quinones called, “The Least of Us.” In it he explains how meth and fentanyl are being mass produced (and mixed) for the US marketplace in Mexico with China’s ongoing support. Sadly, yesterday’s NYT article one ups Sam’s book. Why? Because we now have criminals who are adding a new drug (xylazine: a horse tranquilizer) into the fentanyl supply…which is causing people with OUD to lose arms and legs…before they lose their lives!

for the

Week of December 25, 2022

 

This week’s edition of our Worker Wellness & Well-being blog consists of topics from improving your mental health in 2023 to the importance of making connections to how COVID’s learning loss may negatively impact our children’s future earnings. Today, I wish to highlight the article pertaining to how each of us needs to focus on healthy daily habits. In order to reduce stress, try incorporating a mixture of the following into your daily routines: relax (mindfulness), journal (gratitude), exercise (including sleep and nutrition/hydration), monitor (limit your exposure to social media), and laugh! The past three years has taken a toll on most of our lives. The COVID pandemic has changed the way we must negotiate the future. To this end, Abe Lincoln once said: “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.”

Wellness & Well-being Highlights

for the

Week of December 18, 2022

This week’s edition of our Worker Wellness & Well-being blog consists of topics from the homelessness crisis in the USA to the lowering of life expectancy in the USA to, once again, the impact of fentanyl on our society. Today, I wish to highlight the articles pertaining to how synthetic drugs (i.e., fentanyl and meth) are being weaponized by countries like China and Mexico to destroy communities from within. This blog has provided dozens of articles over the past year indicating how our loved ones are dying all around us…this scourge knows no boundaries! To this end, it is important to keep in mind that we reap what we sow. Our free market economy way of life continues to push manufacturers to seek lower costs and higher earnings. Often these producers must move production overseas in order to cut labor costs, etc. In turn, as consumers seek cheaper goods, we gut the backbone of our cities and towns: good paying jobs with benefits. Some experts suggest that China is exacting revenge for the Opium Wars (over 100 years ago) by leveraging the new idleness in these (rural) locales. America must reframe the concepts of addiction and recovery if we are to stem the tide of overdose deaths in this country!

for the

Week of December 11, 2022

 

This week’s edition of our Worker Wellness & Well-being blog consists of topics from the importance of Narcan to avoiding holiday heart attacks to the connection between stress & social media. Today, I wish to highlight the articles pertaining to opioid overdoses and Narcan. This blog has long emphasized the devastation that opioids has had on our workers, their families, and our communities: urban, suburban, and rural. We can NO longer idly stand on the sidelines and hope this crisis passes due to time. People from ALL walks of life have lost family members and friends to opioid poisoning; beginning in the 1990s it was prescription pain pills, then heroin, and more recently, fentanyl. Public health officials often cite a three-pronged approach to attacking substance misuse: prevention, intervention, and postvention. Narcan focuses on the intervention piece of this public health puzzle. Most of us have taken courses in First Aid, CPR, and (possibly) AED. These tried-and-true practices are known to save lives in the workplace. In the same manner, each and every one of us can be trained in less than 1 hour on how to safely administer Narcan (naloxone nasal spray). I, for one, know firsthand that Narcan saves lives!

Worker Wellness Weekly – December 11

For many decades, organized labor has played a key role in establishing minimum safety standards in the US workplace. These efforts have mainly focused on the physical aspects of safety (i.e., falls, chemical exposure, noise reduction, etc.). More recently, public health professionals have identified that in order to better protect workers, the workforce eco-system must address the whole person. To this end, a major goal of establishing a WWP is to ensure that all workers have access to timely information regarding their mental aspects of safety on the job and in the community. In so doing, we will offer programming and advice on issues related to work-life balance, wellness, and well-being.

As the WWP develops, we will seek partnerships with local community agencies so that programming can be tailored to local needs. It is our intention to have a presence in towns across the state as a means to deliver training and/or perform research that informs our future activities for the benefit of all workers.
