Bring your snow boots Melissa!

Here it is 80 degrees

Hello I'm Tiffany Jones with the Pima County Youth Community Workforce Development.

It was very sad! 🙁

🙏🏾

Wonderful!

Can we get a copy of the presentation material?

Yes, you will receive an email with the recording and some other materials from Melissa!

Thank you!

Great. It'll be nice to stay fully present and not have to write extensive notes. :)

And hi to you, Tiffany, as well. Saw that you introduced yourself. Thanks so much for joining us.

Wonderful, yes!

Feeling down after not being welcome in certain spaces.

racism is really bothering me.

Some students are faced with racial issues and that was very sad, new variant with COVID.

The high rate of change as policies and resources keep changing

I have a share

Shelter- yes!

Agreed, Shelter and Eva!

Thank you very much!

Decisions around COVID exposure that are possibly life or death for clients and staff with risk factors.

Yes, Alex!!

Yes, Alexa, clergy and others who have to make decisions that impact their whole congregations, perhaps with differing opinions about whether to meet in person, mask no masks, ventilation for buildings, new sound systems, hybrid worship, learning so many new things under pressure.

Alexa, sorry!

I agree!

I got booster COVID vaccine!

This shot will prevent me from getting COVID even more easily.

👍🏾

me too

👏🏾

Parental guilt is so real.

It can be stressful in taking care of others during COVID times and my grandparents when they come soon they have to be cared for lots!

✅

Yes, we should celebrate what we accomplished this year.

it's been very tough

ok

I am havig trouble with the audio.

I have a part time job and was great but want to get another one and still applying.

The job search mindset session earlier today was about that and it helped me.

3 things I love about my job: 1. My coworkers are fabulous and always willing to listen 2. That my work feels meaningful re: seeing improvements occur. 3. That I can unplug from my work to spend time with my family :)

I like to help others, improve on my knowledge in the business, and got to know new people, I enjoy those things in a job.

A rewarding moment at my job was receiving thanks from the staff of our local Emergency Dept. after we organized a donation of food from a local bakery to them to show our support for their perseverance through this pandemic.

I don't have access to the mic :(

I work with Eva and agree whole heartedly.

I am very grateful that my managers are understanding about my situation and being flexible with me. Very supportive co-workers who have been my peer support through this!

Thanks Cath. the feeling is mutual1

Nice, there are some organizations that work on disabilities in the university I go too.

💝

Wonderful!

Yes it is and here weather is perfect for walking this time of year.

We dress for the weather in New England!

in Florida

Meet with others for a great conversation like a club meeting!

Love that!

Yeah, that balance between enough and too much is challenging. Especially for someone who is a story-teller at heart.

Fabulous, bye April!

I've used Marco Polo - very cool app!

Thank you for this session. I have to jump off now. Will look forward to getting the materials.

Bye Alexa!

Thanks for joining us Alexa!

This has been wonderful! I need to go. I look forward to hearing the remainder via video and sharing with others.

And Bonnie!

Its nice to have a break to eat at work and yes great to relax for a bit.

I think the biggest challenge I encounter with our staff is an increasing insidious cynicism that I feel is inimical to maintaining resilience.

Breath is essential for sure. Knowing how to focus on that and just noticing is powerful

We have a lot of humor but we also remind them that despite all of the challenges we are still managing to do good work and we compliment and celebrate our successes but it is a constant struggle.

I enjoy looking at favorite pictures, videos, and mediation.

Starbucks

I'm grateful for the job offers I get!

Good Friends!

the sunshine when I walked my dog…even in the snow. So beautiful!

I am gratefully that I took the time for this workshop. I didn't realize how much I needed the reminders!

If I have more than one I have to choose which one I want to do.

I used to see snow when I live up North!

Grateful for supportive coworkers and family

I miss snow but its been a very long time but good news here in not having to clean up after snow.

I saw these apps last time too!

I have to hop off, but this has been a great workshop and I am grateful for these tools and resources. Take care, everyone!

Take care Christina!

🤗, thank you very much Melissa!

Great responses everyone!

Thank you very much, I can tell about this in a club that is based on this.

Excellent workshop. It was great to be trained by you again.

Thank you for all the resources! I love sharing them in my newsletters so people have them in front of them all the time.
