SUMMARY:Modern Pronouns: They is Correct (For SHS Caregivers)
DESCRIPTION:Using “they and them” in the singular may seem to go against what you learned about grammar in grade school\, but you’ve probably been noticing a lot of people using the pronouns they/them instead of he/him or she/her… so many people that Massachusetts now offers M\, F\, and X gender markers on driver’s licenses\, and terms such as nonbinary and genderfluid have made it into mainstream media. Wondering what it all means? Would you like to learn more about how using affirming language and pronouns can help you create a more inclusive community? Join us at the SHS Office for a talk by Julie Nowak (she/any)\, LGBTQIA+ Initiative Coordinator for Springwell elder services. Questions are warmly welcome throughout the presentation/conversation.\n \nPlease register for this event by Monday\, July 14.

SUMMARY:Caregiver Support Group for SHS Employees- Healing Through Our Shared Mourning
DESCRIPTION:The work we do is both uplifting and emotionally challenging. One of the greatest challenges we face is the loss of a meaningful client relationship. Our clients leave us in a variety of ways; they move to be with children\, they stop service when they transition to assisted living\, they die. Sometimes we don’t even have the chance to say “goodbye.”\n\nDuring this unique opportunity\, we will take the time to acknowledge these losses and to support one another. Group facilitator Sue Ann Wasserman will be joined by Executive Director Josh Obeiter and Associate Executive Director Jan Klein for this meeting. We hope you can make it to this special tribute to your clients and the important bond you shared.\nPlease register for this event by Sunday\, March 23
