Dear AFGE Activist,

Summer is breezing by, but not without a few great webinars from FSED!

Mental Health Awareness Training

Wednesday, August 24, 2022, 3:00pm - 5:00pm Eastern Time

We’re glad to be continuing our Mental Health Awareness training with Kaiser Permanente. This interactive workshop is ideal for stewards, local leaders and members looking for ways to support members and co-workers. It is intended to raise awareness of mental health conditions and create a stigma-free workplace. The skills we learn in this class can help us cope with the challenges of our new normal and provide methods to support our members and coworkers who may be struggling at work and at home.

Leadership Skills Workshops-Pilot Series

We are pleased to announce, a first of its kind series in Leadership Skills.
