HR-Pro: COVID One Year Later and Beyond
It is hard to believe that more than a year ago, many of us were taking our first foray into remote work and experiencing the beginning of what would become an incredibly tumultuous 12 months: Coronavirus pandemic, confirmation that sexual orientation is protected by the equal rights amendment, voices rising against systematic racism, a contentious presidential election and storming of the Capitol. 2020 brought emergency legislation from federal, state and local fronts and 2021 is doing the same. It is important for employers to be able to discern what was, what continued and what is beginning.
In this workshop, we will highlight:
• What HR needs to know now to be compliant
• What is on the horizon
• What needs HR’s attention to get best prepared for what’s to come

2022 FOUNDATIONAL TRAININGS
2022 FOUNDATIONAL TRAININGS
Join us this Fall for our 6 Foundational Trainings
Nonprofit and faith-based organizations play an integral role in supporting the needs of individuals and communities. Often, these needs stem from generational, interpersonal, systemic, and/or community trauma. To support organizations in addressing both the root causes and manifestations of trauma, FPWA offers a core set of capacity-building trainings, rooted in trauma-informed practices.
These free foundational trainings are available year-to-year and are open to both FPWA member and non-member organizations. The trainings are specifically designed to be relevant and applicable to staff at all levels and any type of role within a nonprofit or faith-based organization.

Understanding Toxic Stress and Trauma
Virtual ConveningAlthough everyone experiences stress, there is a point in which prolonged exposure to adversity can cross into trauma. Interpersonal violence, racism, systemic oppression, and/or persistent community neglect can lead to toxic stress and be experienced as traumatic. They 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.

Trauma-Responsive Service Delivery
Virtual ConveningAll human services organizations, regardless of their primary mission – legal services, foster care, elder care, mental health services, housing – can benefit from a trauma-informed approach. Many of the strategies and actions are free and can be effectively used by everyone at your organization.
During this training, learn what trauma-informed service delivery actually “looks like,” and walk away with specific strategies for “what you can do” and “what you can say” when working with individuals who have experienced trauma.
