Michigan Benefits Access promotes the use of a multiple benefit application system, called MI Bridges, through community outreach. MI Bridges is a system developed and maintained by the Department of Human Services. The Michigan Association of United Ways provides training to community organizations to enable staff/volunteers to assist persons directly with applying for public benefits on MI Bridges, as well as, informing the community about the availability of the system for anyone to use on-line. An MBA and MI Bridges Trainer will share the goals of initiative, the expanded features of the technology, possible levels of engagement for community based organizations, and how to navigate MI Bridges when assisting an applicant.
For those who work with youth, managing challenging behaviors that interfere with development, learning or success can be both frustrating and exhausting. This workshop will review challenging behaviors related to aggression, non-compliance and attention-seeking, and will provide a framework for intervening with these behaviors. Participants will analyze the effectiveness of their current approach and develop insights into what is happening when attempts at intervention do not work. They will gain a clear understanding of how to structure interactions for positive outcomes and will be provided with a coaching model to bring out the best in youth who exhibit challenging behaviors.
Please note: This workshop does not provide training for clinical therapy or review clinical conditions that may lead to challenging behaviors.
