You will walk away with:

• Greater sensitivity to the complex world of mental illness

• Tools for de-escalation, including knowing when to walk away, and how to help others to do so

• Hands-on skills and one-minute solutions to potentially tricky situations

Critical Maintenance Knowledge for Front Office Staff

morning class



CARE Housing, Provincetowne Clubhouse626 Quaking Aspen Drive Ft. Collins

presented by

Jeff BoydTrainer, Working Knowledge Resource

who should come?Office staff and any non-maintenance staff responsible for completing work orders

Who answers the phone when maintenance service calls come in? Is that person sufficiently knowledgeable to assess and respond appropriately to a time-sensitive maintenance situation?

Communication and teamwork are critical to efficient and smooth operations in any community. Correct and timely completion of resident-requested service is required to ensure good customer relations.

However, this can only happen when the person taking and entering service request information has enough understanding of maintenance needs to ask the right questions.

Front office staff can help to:

• Determine where a leak might be coming from;

• Convey locations for water or electrical shutoffs/disconnects;

• Access screen size or part inventory needs;

• Educate residents on sounds that indicate warnings or serious situations;

• Keep small problems from becoming major emergencies; and

• Allow technicians to arrive with the right tools and supplies.

Harm Reduction and Housing First

partial-day class (morning or afternoon)

Monday, July 27, 2015

registration 8:30am or 12:30pm class 9:00am to Noon 1:00 to 4:00pm

Ft. Collins Police DepartmentCommunity Room 2221 South Timberline Road Ft. Collins

presented by

Zoe LeBeauPresident, LeBeau Development

who should come?All staff responsible for permanent supportive housing developments

Housing First and Harm Reduction are proven techniques for effectively housing community members who are struggling with substance use, mental health, and housing stability.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide valuable information to developers, property managers, maintenance staff, housing authority staff, owners, and service providers on Housing First and Harm Reduction strategies.

Housing First methods strive to quickly move people experiencing homelessness into independent and permanent housing, and then provide additional support and services as needed. You will learn the five core principles of Housing First, all based on the premise that people are better able to move forward with their lives if they are first housed.

Additionally, you will learn the eight central principles of Harm Reduction practice, making clear that it does not attempt to minimize or ignore the real and tragic harm and danger associated with addiction and mental health needs. Discussion will focus on the spectrum of behaviors, criteria, and policies that constitute successful reduction of harm.

While there is no “one size fits all” method for the Housing First and Harm Reduction principles, best practices and bottom-line analysis are increasing the prevalence of such models throughout the country.

Developing Resident Wellness Initiatives

Diana Delgado, CASP, CMHChief Operating Officer, Eaton Senior Communities

Sarah Schoeder, LPNWellness Director, Eaton Senior Communities

David Smart, MAPresident and Chief Executive Officer, Eaton Senior Communities

who should come?Owners, management, service coordinators, and other housing staff

In the world of aging services, there is a strong focus on supplementing affordable housing with supportive services for low income seniors. Programs that support aging well have become essential for providers and the seniors they serve. The financial challenge of supporting these types of programs is, for many, overwhelming.

Affordable housing providers should understand that there are resources in the greater community available to assist residents in a way that is beneficial for the society in general. This is especially important for aging services organizations that manage, coordinate, or sponsor affordable senior housing and are looking for ways to improve their residents’ access to affordable programs and resources that facilitate independence.

A staff panel from a local affordable housing provider that has created a culture of wellness within its community will share their dynamic, multidimensional wellness platform for residents and staff.

Their partners include a local university, health care practitioners, complementary and alternative therapy providers, and other resources. Information will focus on developing and maintaining innovative partnerships to promote whole-person wellness.
