Everyone with a job feels the pressure of work-related stress at some point, even those who love what they do. While we can’t always avoid on-the-job tension, we can take steps to manage work-related stress. This online course introduces its participants’ potential relief strategies for workplace stress. Through varied group discussions and engaging exercises, we invite each participant to identify and define stress through a uniquely personal lens, reflect upon their personal role in the creation and reduction of stress, and think of personal and group strategies for relieving stress.
Limited spaces are available. All registrations must be submitted by May 20 at 5 p.m.

About
The Virtual Summer Conference for Out-of-School Time will target youth workers in out-of-school time and summer settings. This includes frontline staff, program managers, executive directors, mentors, and more. In regard to workshop submissions, APOST is looking for depth of experience and expertise rather than breadth.

- social-emotional learning;
-
- community trauma and trauma-informed care;
-
- health and wellness in out-of-school time;
-
- creating inclusive spaces in out-of-school time;
-
- engaging children and parents during COVID-19;
-
- how to speak to youth about COVID-19; and
-
- ways to successfully implement virtual programming.
Workshop sizes will most likely not be capped as this event will be virtual, but facilitation preference will be left up to the presenters.

The Day of “SELF” Discovery Conference is held each year to celebrate individuals who are involved in their own personal Recovery Journey!
About
This Conference serves as a way to learn tools to help promote Recovery, learn about available resources and services, share experiences related to personal recovery journeys, as well as a time to network and renew friendships made in previous years at the Conference. Ultimately, this Conference is held each year to celebrate the infinite possibilities that lie within each of us! The 19th annual Day of “Self” Discovery Conference, “Caravan To Wellness: Just For The Health Of It!” will focus on knowledge and awareness to improve the overall mental and physical wellness of conference attendees.
In addition to some very stimulating workshops and presentations, the conference includes continental breakfast, lunch, raffles, and prizes as a part of the day’s activities. The Joyce King “EveryDay People” Award will be highlighted during the lunch break. Joyce King believed strongly that people who receive behavioral health and/or addiction services should have a voice in their treatment and that their voices must be heard! The conference will also include a Recovery Panel Presentation.
Registration
