Focus on the Future 2022
Focus on the Future 2022
Focus on the Future 2022 is scheduled for Tuesday, March 1, 2022, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Mt. Zion Convention Center, located at 1400 Mt. Zion Parkway, Mt. Zion, IL 62549. Lunch will be provided. This event is free to attend.
This event will spotlight the results of the recent Unmet Needs Survey. The unmet needs identified in the survey will be ranked and analyzed. In addition to its use for MCMHB, many social service organizations use the results of the Unmet Needs Survey to bring much needed grant dollars into our community.
In the afternoon, guest speaker Olga Phoenix will be presenting Thriving You: The Essential Blueprint to Resilience, Wellbeing, and Vicarious Trauma Prevention. Education, mental health, and medical professionals often change lives, eliminate human suffering, and help children and families thrive. But ongoing exposure to the trauma of others, and as a result, stress, burnout, and vicarious trauma become unintended consequences of these professions. Strategic resilience is the key to lasting personal and professional wellbeing, as well as the primary tool for vicarious trauma prevention. Her presentation will explore practical strategies specifically selected to empower and inspire you to successfully integrate your newfound resilience, wellbeing, and vicarious trauma prevention kit into your life. Participants may attend only the guest speaker portion, either in person or via Zoom.
