Resilience Community

The Convene Training + Resilience Community is hosting this webinar.Convene was founded by Josh Dye, and offers training to government, nonprofit, contracted case management, and professionals that help other people.While training at conferences across the country for the past 15 years, Josh noticed two big problems plaguing the sector.1. High rates of stress, burnout and staff turnover.2. Budgets that severely limit access to high-quality training for staff. Many agencies can only afford to train a small portion of their people, leaving many without the learning opportunities they need to be successful and feel supported by their employers.Convene was created to solve these problems and offers affordable training opportunities with CEUs each year.
