Mental Health First Aid Training
2024-03-16 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | The Connection, 100 Roscommon Drive, Suite 203, Middletown, CT
Attend a free training for Mental Health First Aid. The training is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
Your certification is good for two years.
Lunch will be provided on-site.

Empty Promises: Why we won’t get what we put into Social Security
2024-07-25 16:00 - 18:00 | CT
What you can do to get back your hard-earned money

Join CEA Vice President Joslyn DeLancey for a discussion on why we need to repeal WEP/GPO and what you can do to help.
ICYMI: The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) are penalties that negatively impact educators and others who may or may not participate in Social Security system and receive pensions from municipal government agencies. While employment as a Connecticut educator is not included in Social Security, second jobs, previous employment, and spousal contributions are significantly reduced by these provisions.
