If you have worked for 10 years, you are eligible to have your federal loans fully forgiven. If you are a borrower with fewer than 10 years, there are still certain steps you must take right now.

Balancing Personal and Professional when Working with Youth

Sep 20th, 2022
10 AM - 12 PM

Have you ever had a client “friend” you on Facebook or other examples of social media? Or invite you to “hang out” outside of work, or ask for personal contact information? These are challenges you may encounter when attempting to foster a purposeful relationship that’s open and trusting, but sometimes the boundary between “personal” and “professional” can be hard to determine.

A lack of clear professional boundaries can be harmful to the positive progress being made with clients within your program and organization. This workshop will focus on navigating the complexities of a range of boundary situations which can blur client-staff relations and compromise the integrity of service delivery. Emphasis will be placed on such issues as giving and receiving gifts from clients, decisions about self-disclosure, entering mutual social space via technology or in-person, and extending or accepting invitations from clients. Come learn tools to help your clients, and yourself, to establish healthy boundaries and learn how to develop strong and respectful client-staff relationships.

Let's Talk About Suicide: Preventing Suicide in Youth by Vibrant Emotional Health formerly MHA-NYC - Youth Mental Health'

Sep. 28, 2022
10 AM – 12 PM

The rate of suicide in youth is on the rise. It is now the second leading cause of death among youth age 15 to 24. Have you ever been reluctant to have a conversation about suicide because you didn’t know what questions to ask or the right words to say? Insufficient knowledge about suicide and how to assess a youth’s risk can make these conversations difficult.

This training will provide an introduction to suicide prevention. There will be a focus on learning the factors that put adolescents and young adults at increased risk for suicide and how to recognize the warning signs. Participants will have the opportunity to talk about suicide, learn how to respond appropriately to potentially suicidal individuals, and become knowledgeable about interventions and resources. Participants will practice using newly learned language and techniques to become more comfortable and confident in talking with youth about suicide.
