Frank Escobar, Jr., V
isalia Unified School District, Frank Escobar-Speaker

Working to support youth in our schools and communities will offer some of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of your lifetime. You must show up for work every single day—and not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally, too. In this field, if you aren't motivated and engaged while on the job, chances are that youth won't be either.

As leaders, you are charged with directing and supporting staff in their work with youth. In your position, it is vital to effectively model professional engagement and to create meaningful processes that will keep staff inspired.

During this webinar, you’ll uncover some of the root causes of staff burnout, find out about the very real impact burnout has on performance and program outcomes, and learn some very real, sensible and easy-to-execute strategies for keeping staff performing at their best. You’ll leave with at least three new strategies for avoiding and combating burnout, plus new tools and resources to use with both staff and youth.

Preregistration is required.

Registration for this webinar will close Monday, June 24, 2013. Instructions to join the webinar will be sent on Tuesday, June 25, 2013.

WebinarThank you for your interest in viewing the IYI webinar, “Protecting Children through Mandated Reporting,” presented by Amy Russell, Deputy Director, National Child Protection Training Center.

This webinar contains one error in content. During the Webinar, the speaker presented information on the Indiana mandatory reporting law that was incorrect. After the Webinar, the speaker reviewed the law and found two mandatory reporting statutes. The speaker only presented the earlier statute – covering licensed professionals’ mandatory reporting. The second statute indicates that all Indiana residents are mandated reporters. Please be aware that adults in Indiana who are aware of child abuse and do not report it can be prosecuted.

"Thanks to those who pursued clarifying the truth, to Amy for the fantastic training she provided, and to IYI for bringing not only this follow-up, but the truly convenient and helpful forum to us. I am so grateful. And I'm sure everyone who heard it then and in the future will benefit, especially the children who will ultimately reap the protective benefits." -Cheryl Miller, Shelby Co.
