SUMMARY:Trauma Healing Equipping
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row ct_row_stretch=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nTRAUMA HEALING EQUIPPING SESSION\n\nOctober 27 – 30\, 2021  |  9:00am – 5:00pm each day\nLocation: Transform Minnesota\nLunch + snacks will be served on-site \nTransform Minnesota is proud to announce our partnership with the American Bible Society to bring Bible-based trauma healing to the Twin Cities. \nAmerican Bible Society partners with local churches by equipping them to respond to the suffering and trauma in their communities using the Trauma Healing Institute’s program model and materials. \nTrauma Healing Equipping Session: \nOne in five American adults has been a victim of or witness to traumatic events in just the past 10 years. As the events of 2020 unfolded\, we collectively experienced numerous traumas\, including the murder of George Floyd and the pandemic. \nGod wants to heal our wounded hearts and minds and He calls the Church to help. American Bible Society and Transform Minnesota have partnered together to bring the Trauma Healing Initiative to the Twin Cities. Through Bible-based\, facilitator-led\, small groups\, we are seeing God heal people in amazing ways.  \nThe Trauma Healing Equipping session is for those who wish to be trained and certified as Trauma Healing small group facilitators. You will be trained in Biblical and mental health principles related to trauma care. The Trauma Healing Equipping sessions are designed to be experiential and participatory.  \nPlease pray and ask God if He is calling you to serve as a peer facilitator and lead a Trauma Healing group in your church or community. \n  \nThe Equipping curriculum is:  \n• Bible-Based \n• Offered in a small-group format \n• Includes 6 lessons \n• And is led by trained and certified peer facilitators. \n• Certification as a Trauma Healing facilitator is based on demonstrated skills in the five core competencies: able to facilitate in a participatory way\, able to work on a team\, able to help traumatized people\, knowledge of the materials\, and able to manage personal well-being.

This can lead to lawsuits\, back pay and substantial penalties. \nIn recent years the IRS has increased employee classification enforcement\, creating a compelling incentive for employers to reexamine whether employees are properly classified (employee vs. independent contractor; exempt vs. non-exempt). \n  \nIn this training we will look at how to properly classify employees and answer questions like: \n• How does this apply to youth workers or camp counselors?\n• How are overnight work trips managed?\n• What about travel time?\n• What do I do if I have employees that are currently misclassified? \n  \nThere will be time for practical application and Q&A.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row ct_row_stretch=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_btn title=”Register” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fform.jotform.com%2Ftransformmn%2Femployeeclassification||target:%20_blank|”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row ct_row_stretch=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nSPEAKER\nVirginia Cronin | Henningson & Snoxell\, Ltd. \nVirginia Cronin is an attorney at the firm Henningson & Snoxell\, Ltd.\, Ginny provides advice and legal counsel to nonprofit organizations such as faith-based organizations and private schools. \nAs a former Executive Director of a local nonprofit organization\, Ginny understands the many demands and realities of nonprofits and uses her experience to provide practical and legal advice to clients. \nGinny attended Iowa State University where she received her B.S. degree.
