Special Staff Events!
This year, there will be 4 special staff events for the staff at our 11 secondary PAS/PSD program sites and our staff at the Elementary Learning Centers. If you are receiving this email, it means you work as a teacher, paraprofessional, lead or social worker in our PAS/PSD or Learning Center programs.
It also means that you are invited to 4 special events noted on the left sidebar of this newsletter.
We hope that by offering these events, that Learning Center and PAS/PSD staff will consider, understand, learn and practice the various modalities offered through the Lab. In essence, we want to help build creative capacity among program staff at each site. We want to give staff a chance to experience what students are experiencing through Art, Poetry, Technology and Wellness in The Lab. The more we understand the process, the better we can support our students. Join us, and help us build on the Lab's mission to offer creative, experiential therapeutic services to youth.
