It will offer participants a chance to learn about the effects of stress in the workplace, the potential impacts of technology on stress and how employers and employees can become advocates for change, stated a press release. The meeting will feature keynote speaker Dr. David Posen, an author and well-known authority on stress and stress management, who will explore why the workplace has become so stressful and offer preventative steps and coping tips. "Employees are a business' most valuable asset and organizations that promote workplace health attract and retain the best employees," said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. "This networking session will highlight resources and supports available to employers to help promote healthy and positive workplaces in Halton." A continental breakfast will be held prior to the meeting at 8:30 a.m. The registration deadline for the seminar is Thursday, Sept. 26.

Health "Connected to your Community" Strengthening young girls' self-esteem An Oakville mother and her four-year-old daughter will participate in the Girls on the Run 5km charity run/walk in Toronto's Downsview Park on Sunday, Sept. 29. The fundraising event is dedicated to raising funds for the Girls on the Run Ontario, which works with young girls in the community to promote physical fitness, self-esteem, and healthy living. The group states in a world where girls face relentless pressure to look a certain way, and bullying contributes to low self-esteem and even self-harm, it envisions a world where "every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams." "The reason I'm doing it is to teach my daughter, who is four, that we should always be proud of ourselves and not conform to any mold and hopefully take it further so that she will learn to respect others and stand up for those who can't or are afraid," said Sonja Tam, who is participating in the walk/run with her daughter Angelica. "She may be young, but it's never too early to teach a heart love and respect." The event begins at 9 a.m. To register, visit www. events.runningroom.com/site/?raceId=9557.
