About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

In this interactive workshop, participants will be introduced to a set of practical tools to help them engage in reflective practice and effective communication, supporting a positive work environment. Participants will engage in experiential exercises, dialogue, and work with The Principles for How We Treat Each Other. Participants will be introduced to the idea of unconscious bias and be given opportunities in a safe setting to temporarily put aside their own perspectives in order to listen non-judgmentally to the experiences of others. With these new tools in hand, participants will improve their interpersonal relationships, contribute to a healthier work environment, and develop practices of respect and community building.

Homeless Services Network of Central Florida

The Homeless Services Network (HSN) of Central Florida works to provide stable, long-term housing to people experiencing homelessness in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. We lead the region's response to homelessness by giving grants to fellow nonprofit agencies that offer shelter, outreach programs and drop-in centers; we recruit landlords to participate in our housing programs; handle the rental payments; and manage a vast coordinated-entry system so that anyone in need in the three-county region only has to apply once for help. We also fund programs that provide transitional and rapid-rehousing, case management, physical and mental health-care for those who are homeless or formerly homeless, and other supportive services. Finally, HSN tracks homelessness data across the region to advocate for housing justice, improve policy and measure change.
