Upcoming Events

Mark your calendar — here is what's coming up across the summer and into the fall. Each webinar runs for one hour and is designed for frontline employment service professionals.

July — Breaking Barriers: ADHD

ADHD can make engaging in employment services very challenging for clients. Symptoms can manifest in many different ways — executive functioning, organization, and follow-through — and this can lead to avoidance and stress. Join us for an engaging one-hour webinar designed to deepen your understanding of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and give you practical tools to implement into your practice when working with clients who experience ADHD.

Learn how to structure appointments for maximum impact and lower stress, reduce stigma, and create situations where clients can practice advocating for themselves — and teaching employers and others what works for them.

August — Breaking Barriers: Depression

Depression can be a significant barrier to employment, affecting motivation, confidence, focus, and job search success. Join us for this engaging one-hour webinar designed for frontline employment service professionals to deepen your understanding of depression and its impact on job seekers.

Learn practical strategies to recognize signs of depression, have supportive conversations, reduce stigma, and help clients move toward their employment goals with confidence and dignity.

September — Webinar: Building Resilience

Working in employment services is incredibly meaningful, but it can also be difficult work. If you're struggling with burnout, maintaining boundaries, managing your schedule, and taking time for yourself, you're not alone.

Join us for a webinar designed for frontline employment professionals that will teach you practical, realistic strategies to prioritize your wellness, increase your resilience, and even translate into actionable skills to use with your clients!
