The Working Mind Employee Workshop
Nov 13, 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
The Working Mind is targeted to general workplace audiences. The workshop aims to increase awareness of mental health, reduce the stigma of mental illnesses, and offer resources to maintain positive mental health and increase resiliency. Equally important goals are to create a supportive environment, strengthen the organizational culture, and contribute to a healthy workplace
First Responders to Sexual Abuse and Assault Training
Nov 13 & 14 , 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
