SUMMARY:Fall Seminar: Emotional/Behavioral Management: Behind-the-Scenes & Policy Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:***ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED.***\nThe success of your camp’s emotional/behavioral management program doesn’t start at staff training – it starts in the fall\, when you review and re-evaluate your policies\, procedures\, and paperwork. If that sounds tedious\, we promise it won’t be! \nJoin Emily Golinsky to take a deep dive into the behind-the-scenes pieces of work that form the foundation for successful summers. We’ll look at things such as: \n\nquestions you should be asking as part of your camper application/enrollment process\,\nwebsite/marketing messaging that encourages applications from campers who meet your intended population\, and\nthe fine print that explains your expectations and policies to parents/guardians.\n\nWe’ll also dig into examples of complicated behavioral situations that arose locally this past summer and how specific language and policy elements will assist with resolving those challenges. Bring your situational examples and your existing forms\, policies\, and procedures! \nFrancesca Korbas\, Esq\, is a former practicing special education attorney and civil rights investigator\, with a deep understanding of inclusivity as it relates to youth with differing abilities. Francesca will also share information and recommendations for camps related to The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)\, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (the precursor of ADA)\, and more that will help you better understand what your camp can (and maybe can’t) do. Francesca will provide guidance on how to successfully connect school year supports and IEP planning to camp inclusivity planning. \nYou’ll leave feeling energized and ready to edit your emotional/behavioral fine-print (and not-so-fine-print) in preparation for the Summer of 2025!  \nThis seminar will be beneficial for staff at both day and overnight camps who work on the administrative/policy aspects of your camp’s behavior management programs. Multiple staff per camp are welcome to attend.  \nCheck-in will start at 9:30 am\, with the program kicking off at 10:00 am. \nLunch will be provided and you will earn 5 CECs for your participation in the seminar. \nAbout our Presenters: \nEmily Golinsky\, Bright Moose Training LLC \n \nEmily’s sessions get called “tremendously helpful\,” “definitely not the same-old-same-old\,” and “not to be missed–a reason to come to the conference!” Emily retired from a 15-year role as Executive Director at the therapeutically-based Camp Starfish (NH) to found Bright Moose\, LLC (www.brightmoosetraining.com)\, which provides training\, consultation\, and PD for camps\, schools and youth organizations nationwide.

SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid (virtual with pre-work due by 1/6)
DESCRIPTION:Mental Health First Aid \n(VIRTUAL COURSE: Self-paced pre-work and live virtual course) \nMental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing that is designed to give you key skills to help an adult who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Whether you’re looking to support a colleague\, your camp counselors\, family and friends\, or other members of your community…this virtual course is for you. \nThis course is offered in a two-part format and both components must be completed to earn your certification: \n\n2 hours of virtual self-paced pre-work must be completed by Monday\, January 6 (the instructor must verify completion for you to be eligible to join the live portion of the course)\nLive\, instructor-led virtual course from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm on Thursday\, January 9 (You must be fully present with the ability to have a camera and microphone on throughout the course. There will be a lunch break built in to the schedule.)\n\nWhat will participants learn? MHFA Certification teaches participants to identify\, understand\, and respond to signs of mental health and substance abuse challenges among adults. You will learn: common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges; how to interact with a person in crisis how to connect a person with help and resources; ways to support a person thinking about suicide. \nParticipants do not learn to diagnose\, nor how to provide any therapy or counseling – rather\, participants learn to support an individual developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis by applying a core five-step action plan. \nWho should take this course? The course is designed for anyone 18-years of age or older who would like to add to their toolbox for supporting folks with mental health concerns. This would be great for camp leaders to provide support to their adult staff members. This is a standalone certification\, but if you’re already certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid\, this complements that as well. \nAbout the instructor: \nEmily Golinksy\, is the Founder of Bright Moose\, LLC\, which provides training\, coaching\, consultation and professional development to camps\, organizations and individuals guided by the motto “Help Others Shine Bright!” Her professional background includes over two decades of year-round and summer camp leadership in both day and residential environments for children in crisis\, special needs youth\, and traditional campers\, including 15 years as Executive Director at Camp Starfish (NH). Emily is a regular presenter at conferences and is active in ACA\, New England\, where she is a Lead Visitor\, conference committee member\, and member of the Faculty for the New Camp Directors Workshop. Emily is on the Board of Directors for NHCamps and is a contributor to Camping Magazine\, ParentingNH\, the Project Real Job Blog\, and the Day Camp Pod. She holds a BS in Health Psychology and an MS in Camp Administration and Leadership. She is also an education advocate for youth with special needs and a certified Adult Mental Health First Aid Instructor. Emily’s sense of humor and genuine warm connection to individuals comes through in her facilitation style. Fair warning: she is an avid collector of terribly awesome puns. \n*Because this course results in a certification\, attendees must fully participate in the entire program.* \nSpace is limited to 15 participants\, so register early!  \nWhen: Thursday\, January 9\, 2025\, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm via Zoom (Self-paced online pre-work must be completed by Monday\, January 6 for participants to qualify to join the live virtual portion of the course.) \nWhere: Via Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the start of the course. Please note: participants must be able to participate with cameras and mics (as needed) turned on in order to receive a completion certificate. \nCost: $85 for ACA\, New England members/ $110 for non-members.  \nRegister: Click here. You will register through ACA\, New England\, but additional communication about the course and how to complete the pre-work will come from the course instructor/ the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. \nRegistrations are non-refundable\, but may be transferred to another eligible individual no later than January 2 (to ensure enough time to complete the pre-work). \nA minimum of 6 participants is required for the program to run. \nQuestions?
