Toolkits:
Workplace Environmental Toolkit: Environmental Considerations for Discharge
This toolkit was developed by our very own Policy and Political Action ONEIG Executive, Olivia Brundia! This is an actionable discharge plan that you can use in your nursing practice. It can help you start the discussion as to whether your clients are going home to a place that is environmentally safe. Please see the attached file to access this toolkit.
Earth Day Action Toolkit
This toolkit is based on the theme of Earth Day 2021 "Restore Our Earth". You will find helpful resources to craft social media posts, create an op-ed, or message your connections or organizations.
Thank you for all of your efforts and supports. You are amazing!
Kind Regards,
Your ONEIG Executive Team
