Homelessness 101: Boundaries & Ethics on ZOOM

May 20, 2021 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

There is a cost for this training.
CEUs offered: 1.5

Homelessness 101 is a series of trainings covering basic content relevant and necessary for all people working in housing and homeless services. Quarter 2 of 2021 will cover all 6 topics in May and June.

Maintaining professionalism and healthy personal boundaries are critical if you want to do good work, avoid burnout, and really help empower your clients to achieve their goals. Boundaries & Ethics will address some of the most common ethical challenges you might face when working with people who experience homelessness, and will use real-life scenarios to challenge your thinking about this topic.

Presented by: John Petroskas is a policy specialist at the Minnesota Department of Human Services.  Before joining DHS, John worked in programs that served homeless families and adults.  At Catholic Charities, he helped start the Housing First program, which provides supportive housing for adults who have experienced long-term homelessness.  He also worked for the Wilder Foundation, MN Engagement on Shelter and Housing (MESH), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
