SUMMARY:NYC Funds Tracker: How Past Fiscal Trends Shape NYC’s Future
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n  \nWhat does New York City’s budget mean for New Yorkers’ economic security? \nJoin FPWA and specials guests from the New York City Independent Budget Office for a webinar breaking down over a decade of city budget decisions and what it means for New Yorkers and the human services sector going forward. The discussion will draw on the latest FY25 update to FPWA’s NYC Funds Tracker\, an interactive dashboard designed to simplify budget data for advocates. \nThe conversation will also examine how years of fiscal choices\, combined with Federal cuts\, have undercut human service funding and investments in low-income New Yorkers. By breaking down how the City raises revenue and allocates spending\, we can identify opportunities to build a budget that fosters economic security for all.

SUMMARY:Best Practices for Reflective & Supportive Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Register Today for Best Practices for Reflective and Supportive Supervision\nTuesday\, April 2nd from 10am – 3pm \nIn-Person Workshop \nSupervisors across human service settings face many challenges in a changing and dynamic system of care. As the key interface between organizational policies and practices and direct service professionals\, supervisors wear many hats and struggle to balance their complex roles designed to promote the mission of the organization and support the success and compassion satisfaction1 of their supervisees. Supervisory support focused on reflective and supportive supervision is a fundamental need for any organization focused on trauma-informed care that seeks to foster compassion resilience. Reflective and supportive supervision requires a trusting and collaborative relationship that addresses the needs of all staff\, and includes opportunities to reflect on issues of equity\, biases\, and racial and cultural differences in the work and the workplace.   \nThe benefits of such approaches include improved quality of care\, a more engaged workforce\, improved productivity\, and reductions in costly turnover. This workshop is designed to provide supervisors with practical and concrete approaches to support their supervisees by: 1) providing supportive and reflective supervision\, 2) supporting professional development\, 3) managing performance difficulties requiring “courageous  conversations”\, 4) managing levels of emotional stress and 5) creating a trusting and physically\, psychologically and culturally safe work environment that collectively increases compassion satisfaction and workforce retention.     \nObjectives:  \n\nParticipants will be able to describe the key components of reflective and supportive supervision. \nParticipants will identify how to promote safety through effective communication skills\, intentional use of reinforcement and modeling aligned with principles of culturally responsive supervision.  \nParticipants will explain the main concepts that reflect respectful and productive strategies to address performance problems.  \nParticipants will identify at least 3 practical approaches designed to support the professional development of their supervisees.  \nParticipants will describe four key strategies associated with promoting leadership  support for change. \nEach participant will create a practical and timely action plan associated with one or more of the topics covered. \n\nFeatured Facilitators:  \n \nRegister today

SUMMARY:Workplace Mental Health and Well-being: Connection and Community
DESCRIPTION:We spend a third of our life at work and yet workplace relationships are the most neglected. Research shows that investing in our relationships at work increases an overall sense of well-being\, belonging\, and improves teamwork. All of these are important elements to prevent burnout\, especially in the human services sector\, where workers are constantly exposed to others’ experiences of trauma and adversity. So why do we neglect these workplace relationships? In some cases\, it’s because the pace of the outcomes driven workplaces only leaves time for transactional interactions between peers. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll identify some of the barriers to creating inclusive culture. Case studies from Create Forward’s work in cultivating Thriving Cultures will offer practical strategies for strengthening community\, connection\, and belonging at work. \nRegister Now
