SUMMARY:Provider Member Training: Strategies for Supporting Youth after a Caregiver’s Overdose
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: February 12; 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. \nLocation: Virtual \n**Please note this session is hosted by Bridgewell’s Center for Professional Development. Any questions regarding the session should be directed to kjanjar@bridgewell.org. \nWhile both fatal and nonfatal overdoses have begun to decline in the past few years\, the numbers of overdoses in the US are still in the many hundreds of thousands each year. Many people who witness or experience the fallout of an overdose\, whether fatal or non-fatal\, report experiencing the event as traumatic. This can be especially true for young people who often do not understand what is happening or why. \nWhen children and youth do not have adequate support in the aftermath of a potentially traumatic event they often internalize the experience in unhealthy and potentially harmful ways. Using case studies and interactive discussions\, this training will provide a foundation for understanding addiction and overdose and ways that children and youth often experience and respond to potentially traumatic events and grief. \nIt will introduce strategies for talking to and supporting young people and helping their caregivers with supporting them\, both in the immediate aftermath of a caregiver overdose and longer term. Participants will be given opportunities to practice some of the strategies. The training will emphasize the importance of self and community care for providers doing this work. \nRegister Here! \n  \nAt the conclusion of this training\, participants should be able to: \n– Identify risk factors\, protective factors and warning signs for substance use disorders \n– Describe the scope of fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the US \n– Name three potential ways that the impact of a caregiver overdose could show up for and impact a child \n– Differentiate between indicators that a child is experiencing grief versus trauma \n– Demonstrate different ways to support youth both in the immediate aftermath of a caregiver overdose and longer term \n  \nPresented by: \nJoanna Bridger\, LICSW\, Director\, Safety\, Hope\, & Healing Counseling & Consulting \n  \nCost: \n$79 \n**Mass State Employees may attend this training for free

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Let's Illuminate Human Services - Understanding the Solar Upgrading Nonprofits (SUN) Program😎
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: February 26; 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nIntended Audience: Financial Staff\, Facilities/Operations\, Executive Teams \nLearning Track: Finance & Sustainability \nThe SUN Program is back!☀️ \nIn 2025\, the Solar Upgrading Nonprofits (SUN) Program\, a partnership between the Providers’ Council and Resonant Energy\, helped 18 human service providers explore solar through no-cost feasibility assessments and grant funding. Organizations moving forward with solar will save 70 to 100 percent of their annual electricity costs for a total of $10 million dollars in expected lifetime savings. \nThe SUN program supports nonprofit human service providers across Massachusetts as they explore solar as a means of reducing their operating costs and contributing to a clean environment for their constituents. Many organizations have expressed strong interest in solar but lack the internal capacity and expertise to pursue feasibility assessments and projects. This program bridges that gap by providing organizations free solar feasibility analyses\, grant writing assistance\, and stipends to cover staff-time invested in this process. \nRegister for this session at the link below to hear from the team at Resonant Energy about the impact and scope of the program. We will also be joined by WORK\, Inc\, who will share their experience of participating in the SUN Program in 2025 and the impact it has had on the agency.  \nYou can apply for the SUN Program here. \nOrganizations are encouraged to apply early for the SUN program in order to ensure they can capture the federal incentives for solar before they are phased out. \nRegister Here! \n  \nAt the end of this session\, participants will understand: \n– The benefits of going solar and the financing options available to your organization \n– What you need to get started on a solar feasibility analysis for your building \n– How to apply for this unique program and get paid to explore solar \n  \nPresented by: \nMadeleine Barr\, Chief Growth & Impact Officer\, Resonant Energy \nRachel Gentile\, Marketing & Communications Manager\, Resonant Energy \nSanne Wright\, Community Partnerships Manager\, Resonant Energy \nBill Furness\, VP of Facilities Services\, WORK Inc. \n  \nCost: \nFree \n  \nConfirmation Policy: We only send confirmations via email.

SUMMARY:Provider Member Training: Feel the Fear - Integrating Exposure into Eating Disorder Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: March 3; 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. \nLocation: Virtual \n**Please note this session is hosted by Bridgewell’s Center for Professional Development. Any questions regarding the session should be directed to kjanjar@bridgewell.org. \nEating disorders fall under the category of “emotional disorders\,” meaning that individuals who struggle often tend to avoid situations that bring up difficult or uncomfortable emotions. Because avoidance often serves as a maintaining factor for emotional disorders\, it is essential to incorporate interventions that promote emotional approach rather than avoidance. Doing so can increase emotional tolerance and reduce reliance on eating disorder behaviors as coping strategies. \nThis workshop will examine the maintaining factors of eating disorders\, identify how avoidance patterns manifest\, and explore the core principles of exposure therapy. Participants will learn how to design and implement exposures that are creative\, safe\, and effective in promoting emotional flexibility and recovery. Attendees will also learn how to work alongside a multidisciplinary team and further clarify their role as a clinician\, even without an eating disorder specialty. Eating disorders rarely exist alone\, and so this workshop will also be useful for clinicians who have clients struggling with multiple comorbidities\, such as anxiety\, OCD\, and trauma. \nRegister Here! \n  \nAt the conclusion of this training\, participants should be able to: \n– Describe 5 common maintaining factors for eating disorders.\n– Identify 3 different types of emotional avoidance and provide specific examples as they relate to folks struggling with eating disorders.\n– Explain how to walk a client through an exposure hierarchy and plan for exposures. \n  \nPresented by: \nLacey Vogel\, LMHC \nAngela Kaloudis\, LMHC\, PMH-C \n  \nCost: \n$79 \n**Mass State Employees may attend this training for free

SUMMARY:Managing Diverse Teams for Exceptional Performance
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: March 10; 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nIntended Audience: Human Resources\, Supervisors & Managers\, Leadership \nLearning Tracks: Equity\, Justice & Culturally Responsive Practice; Leadership & Organizational Development \n \nOrganizations today are more diverse across culture\, generation\, thinking styles\, values\, and lived experience than ever. Yet many leaders are quietly asking the same question: “Why aren’t we seeing the performance gains that come with diverse teams?” \nThe truth is simple but uncomfortable: Diversity alone does not drive results\, the art of effective management of the team does. This highly engaging workshop equips leaders with the practical skills\, tools\, and behaviors required to turn diversity into measurable performance\, innovation\, trust\, and engagement. This is a leadership performance accelerator and not a traditional DEI session. \nLeaders today face an anti-DEIB landscape\, increased team tension and miscommunication coupled with fear of saying the “wrong thing” and declining engagement instead of innovation\, which leads to diverse teams that exist but don’t fully perform. At the same time\, research consistently shows that inclusive leadership drives better decisions\, faster execution and stronger retention\, and that teams with high psychological safety outperform peers. This session bridges the gap between diversity and results.  \nThe future belongs to leaders who can lead across differences with clarity\, courage\, and competence. This workshop equips leaders to translate it into exceptional performance that transforms teams and organizations. \nRegister Here! \n  \nAt the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n \n– Create psychological safety that unlocks ideas\, honesty\, and innovation \n– Manage conflict across cultures\, styles\, and perspectives productively \n– Increase engagement and accountability simultaneously \n– Implement leadership behaviors that immediately elevate team performance \n  \nPresented by: \nStephen Osei-Bonsu\, MBA\, MA\, BSc\, Lead Consultant & Trainer\, Scensob Consulting \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCost: \nMembers: $50 \nNon-members: $125 \n  \nCancellation Policy: Reimbursement only for cancellations received at least 5 business days before the event. \nConfirmation Policy: We only send confirmations via email. Please email Nina Lamarre at nlamarre@providers.org if you do not receive a confirmation email. \n\nAccommodation Policy: We will do our best to accommodate individuals needing services.

They skip meals\, power through exhaustion\, and set a relentless pace for themselves and their teams. But what if the key to better performance\, retention\, and culture isn’t doing more\, but doing differently? \nIn this engaging and thought-provoking session\, Colleen DelVecchio challenges the hustle-at-all-costs mindset and explores how intentional leadership can be the antidote to team burnout.

SUMMARY:Associate Member Workshop: Clinical Applications of Polyvagal Theory
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: March 20; 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \n**Please note this session is hosted by Boston College Continuing Education. Any questions regarding the session should be directed to continuinged@bc.edu. \nPolyvagal Theory provides a framework for working with a client’s dysregulated nervous system. It allows us to understand the biological drive for safety and connection\, and ways in which people adapt when those things aren’t available. Trauma can get locked in the body\, and sometimes verbal interventions aren’t enough.
