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:Understanding Toxic Stress and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Although everyone experiences stress\, there is a point in which prolonged exposure to adversity can cross into trauma. Certain experiences and conditions\, such as interpersonal violence\, racism\, systemic oppression\, and/or persistent community neglect\, can lead to toxic stress and be experienced as traumatic. Each of these experiences can have severe and long-lasting negative effects on individuals and communities. This training breaks down the definition\, prevalence\, and impact of toxic stress and trauma. \nRegister here\nPresenters’ Biographies\nClare Brennan Program Coordinator\, FPWA\nAs a Program Coordinator\, Clare Brennan brings her experience and passion for community organizing and social justice to FPWA’s capacity building efforts.
