This day long training takes place on ZOOM and covers 4 areas:

1) A deep understanding of individuals experiencing homelessness, utilizing research on trauma and communication styles etc. that helps staff understand those they serve.

2) How punishment works and why it doesn’t work very well with chronically homeless individuals.

3) Psychology of voluntary compliance: What does the research tell us about how to get people to voluntarily comply with rules (without using punishment).

4) Tools: This ties the other three areas together to give very practical skills for conflict de-escalation.

National Symposium to End Youth Homelessness

 

Our 5th Annual National Symposium on Solutions to End Youth Homelessness will bring together 1,000+ service providers, researchers, policymakers, funders, young people, and advocates from across spaces to build a virtual community of people who are committed to creating a world in which young people can thrive. Secure your login to join us on Tuesday, June 15th, and Wednesday, June 16th.   We are pleased to announce that our 5th National Symposium on Solutions to End Youth Homelessness is now HUD-approved! Project administrative funds awarded under the CoC and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Programs may, therefore, be used to attend the Conference.  WILL WE SEE YOU THERE?

 

Sliding Scale Registration Our registration tiers this year reflect a sliding scale, a tool for establishing economic justice. In this registration pricing system, everyone ultimately pays a similar percentage of their individual or organizational income to attend the Symposium. This scale is about recognizing the privileges and resources that make paid events disproportionately more accessible for groups with higher operating budgets and for individuals with greater wealth.   We hope that this sliding scale facilitates increased access to our virtual events and serves as an invitation for our community to both think and speak deeply about the societal factors that create such stark disparities in wealth and resources in the US. We trust our community to evaluate their needs accordingly.  REGISTER TODAY  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-national-symposium-on-solutions-to-end-youth-homelessness-registration-148985695225?aff=odeimcmailchimp&utm_source=PSY+Newsletter&utm_campaign=6c6becedbe-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_12_01_09_50_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3d74859afb-6c6becedbe-155692909&mc_cid=6c6becedbe&mc_eid=cb53078565
