SUMMARY:Caring for the Carer: Beyond Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:The concept of self-care is familiar within the human services field; however\, the barriers to engaging in self-care are often overlooked. One of the greatest barriers is the individualistic framing of self-care. We know that relationships foster resilience\, so why aren’t we talking more about collective and community care? In this training\, participants will shift their understanding of care by reframing employee well-being from an individual responsibility to a shared organizational value grounded in belonging\, connection\, and collective support. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs\, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.

Participants will explore ways policies and procedures can be revised through a trauma-informed lens while building strategies and organizational capacity to resist re-traumatization. By the end of the session\, participants will feel empowered to respond with empathy\, establish realistic goals\, and advocate for meaningful trauma-informed change within their organizations. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

SUMMARY:Restorative Justice 202: ReGeneration Circle: Healing in the Restorative Justice Process
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the circles is to invoke deep self-inspection through reflection and creating deep relations by sitting at the hearth encircled by the core beliefs of restorative circle keeping. The process for this circle session is centered on the reflection of self. We would ground ourselves in focusing on releasing the energies of affirmation or negation that we experienced throughout the Summer associated with five deep values of living that hindered or increased your capacity for human connecting. Once we release our affirmations or negations of self into the encircled hearth\, we will focus on envisioning the possibility of what is renewal for self in the oncoming Fall and how do we go about building momentum for receiving support to accomplish and acknowledge the goal of renewal. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

SUMMARY:The Five Doors of Access: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:This introductory session guides service providers through each of the five dimensions of access: Physical\, Sensory\, Communication\, Emotional\, and Relational. Rather than framing accessibility as a compliance obligation\, the session invites participants to see inclusion as an act of welcome\, asking not whether a space meets a minimum standard but who is being invited in\, and whether they can actually get through the door. Participants explore how disability intersects with neurodiversity\, invisible disability\, and mental health. Activities include a guided self-assessment of participants’ own environments and facilitated peer discussion. \nOne and a half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).
