Foundations Training begins next week and there has never been a more important time to sharpen your community organizing skills!
This training will help you enter the second year of Covid-19 and the recession ready to tackle the challenges that will be thrown at your organization, community and neighborhood.
The training is highly interactive, relational, and practical covering:
- Community Organizing introduction (and a refresher for old hands!).
- Concepts of power, power-over vs power-with, power-analysis.
- Relational Organizing: individual relational meetings, listening, research, negotiation and action.
- Strengthening our Organizations: building a culture that is relational, action-oriented and reflective/learning.
- Using Relational Power in the public sphere to take collaborative action on the common issues of 2020 and 2021.
Grief and loss resulting from adverse events in life, including the current pandemic, can have multiple effects and impact mental health. When our worldview and sense of safety are altered existential and spiritual concerns often arise. Self-compassion and spirituality can play a key role in resilience and post-traumatic growth if facilitated.
This webinar will be facilitated by Dr. Heather M. Boynton who is an Assistant Professor in Social Work at the University of Calgary, and a Registered Social Worker who has worked in mental health for over 30 years as a Child and Family Therapist, Mental Health Consultant, and a Manager in Adult Services.
