For producers, spotting the first signs of a possible avian influenza outbreak can bring on a flood of stress, worry, and tough decisions. The emotional toll — before, during, and after flock depopulation — is real, and it affects everyone involved. So how do we recognize when someone’s struggling with all of this? And maybe more importantly, how do we show up for them — as coworkers and team members?

Overdose deaths are a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States and the majority of overdose deaths involve opioids. This epidemic is impacting communities all across the country. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids when given in time. This session is designed to prepare communities and non-medical public and safety professionals to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. Participants will learn the warning signs of opioid overdose and how to intervene safely using naloxone. Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish will be available for this webinar.

This session will review the clinical features, specimen handling, epidemiologic clues, and reporting steps for New World screwworm myiasis so clinicians can recognize when to consider this rare but serious parasitic infestation, emphasizing that common wound etiologies remain far more likely and that screwworm should be a low-probability diagnosis except when compatible wounds, visible larvae, and recent travel/exposure to endemic areas are present.

Driving demands more than skill—it requires awareness, presence, and emotional control. This presentation explores how mindfulness practices can improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance safety on the road. Participants will learn how slow, intentional movements, calm breathing, and emotional regulation can help prevent reactive driving behaviors and fatigue-related crashes. The session also addresses the dangers of multitasking, drowsy driving, and “passive fatigue” caused by long, monotonous routes. Practical tools and take-home strategies—such as mindful breathing exercises, pre-drive check-ins, and healthy rest habits—equip drivers to stay alert and proactive. This session reminds participants that “Your mind and presence are your most important safety features.”
