Mental Health First Aid for Adults
8-hour course brought to you by Alpert Jewish Family and Children's Service. Someone you know could be experiencing a mental illness or crisis. You can help them. You are more likely to encounter someone - friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or member of the community - in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack. Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social, or self-help care. Anyone can take the 8-hour Mental Health First Aid course - first responders, students, teachers, leaders of faith communities, human resources professionals, and caring citizens. Sometimes, the best first aid is you. Take the course, save a life, strengthen your community.

Upcoming Trainings with Nonprofits First 
Avoiding the Cultural "Bumps" - The Culture of Workplace Bullying and Harassment
In recent years, we have seen a rise in incidences of workforce bullying and harassment. Workplace bullying, like childhood bullying, has individuals or groups using persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior against a co-worker or subordinate. While often subtle, bullying or harassment incidents frequently stem from cultural differences. With changing demographics and increased diversity in our organizations; race, ethnicity, language, accents, religion, age and sexual orientation, are often at the root of the bullying. Responses to these situations not only affect employee relations and staff morale; but can lead to litigation. This interactive workshop will explore real life workplace scenarios and their origins, while exploring resolutions.
WHEN:Tuesday, March 3, 2015, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
WHERE: United Way of Palm Beach County, 2600 Quantum Boulevard, Boynton Beach Fee: $50 Register here

Skillful Communication Under Pressure: A Mindfulness in Action Program

Thus, this learning journey explores your communication style from the inside out. Using a variety of methodologies including the Enneagram - a profound personality tool, mind/body/energy work, dialogue sessions, lectures, small group break-outs and case scenarios, you'll learn to let go of limiting communication habits and express your voice in a powerful yet compassionate manner even when in high-pressure situations.

Thank You from PBSO and Family of Seven in Need 
On January 2, 2015 a local family of seven lost all of their worldly possessions in a devastating apartment fire that occurred near the City of Pahokee. With the combined efforts of Palm Beach Sheriff's Office West Detention Center, Road Patrol Division and because of our partnership with a host of private citizens as well as several local organizations we have accomplished our mission!!! Without the kindness, compassion and generosity of so many in our community this would not have been possible.
The family has been so very appreciative of each and every blessing that they have received and wanted us to tell you all "thank you, thank you, thank you" on their behalf. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Western Region would like to express their sincerest gratitude to each and every one who chose to be a part of this effort. Making a positive difference in the lives of others is an experience that makes a lasting and memorable impression in the hearts and minds of all involved.
