Mental illness and addiction affect people regardless of race, education or career.

Two trained volunteers who are living with serious mental health conditions will share their experiences of mental illness and recovery.

The hour-long presentation consists of three sections: What Happened, What Helps and What’s Next. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their own experiences and learn about available mental health resources.

Register for a professional development workshop for social workers and psychologists.

Have you heard of the gut-brain connection? Researchers have found that a lesser-known nervous system in our guts (our “second brain”) communicates with the brain and plays a key role in our overall mental health. This lecture will discuss the mind-body connection and the relationship between our digestive health and mood. We'll pay particular attention to how one might use this process in a school-based setting.

Participants will earn 2 CE hours upon completion of the course.

After the course is attended in full and evaluation is complete, a signed certificate of completion will be emailed to you. The union will keep track of your accumulated continuing education credits for as long as 7 years. Registration is required. Enrollment is limited and classes fill up quickly. All fees are non-refundable. Please ensure your Wi-Fi is secure and your computer is properly set up for Zoom access. This workshop is sponsored by the UFT’s Member Assistance Program (MAP). MAP recognizes the importance of lifelong learning to the social work and mental health counseling profession. We want to support you by providing quality instructors for professional development courses on a variety of topics that you may encounter when engaging with students. MΑP is also a state provider of continuing education credits for licensed social workers, mental health counselors, and – new this year –psychologists.

The pressures of everyday life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and angry at times. While anger is a natural emotion, if left unresolved, it can feel like a volcano erupting inside you and can lead to alienation from friends, colleagues, and loved ones. In this group, you will learn to identify emotional triggers that can make us feel angry, and healthy coping skills to manage those feelings.

The Student Debt Relief Program, only for UFT members, is here to help you navigate your options and apply for the right federal student debt relief program. We've scheduled a special webinar to cover the basics of the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, explore how borrowers who meet the 10-year experience requirements can access loan forgiveness, and detail the steps borrowers who have not yet met the 10-year threshold need to take now to set themselves up to receive aid later.

This year, we dedicate Teacher Union Day to our Contract Action Teams. They embody the passion, pride and dedication of the brave educators who put everything on the line in the 1960 strike that forged our union. At the awards ceremony, we'll also honor other exemplary UFT members and chapters. The event will conclude with a special tribute to UFT founder George Altomare, who passed away in August.

See the list of award winners.

There will be a continental breakfast and post-awards reception.

The cost to attend is $50.
