Video Series: Fostering a Healthy & Respectful Workplace

CDHA’s 2023 Healthy and Respectful Workplace Survey found that 6 in 10 respondents had either experienced, witnessed or experienced and witnessed some form of mistreatment in the workplace. To address this concerning issue, we have released a new video series highlighting dental offices and organizations that have incorporated healthy and respectful policies and practices into their business models. We hope the ideas presented by the panelists in this series will spark meaningful discussions among dental hygienists and their oral health care teams, encouraging them to develop similar policies and practices for their workplaces. Access to the videos is exclusive to CDHA members.

Advocacy in Action

CDHA is your national voice for the profession! The press conference on Parliament Hill, featuring Chief Executive Officer Ondina Love and Immediate Past President Francine Trudeau, highlighted a range of critical issues, from workforce sustainability and upholding safe practice standards to the importance of evidence-based policy making. The event—an effort to counter misinformation about dental hygienists in the media—was followed by meetings with five MPs and was covered extensively by news outlets across Canada. View the press conference recording and read our media release and articles from the Toronto Star, Oral Health Weekly, and Newsy Today at cdha.ca/press.
