CUCS Launches a Training Initiative for Human Service Providers
CUCS is thrilled to announce a training initiative for staff of human service organizations. While human service organizations are charged with the difficult task of helping individuals and families with multiple challenges to improve their lives, many staff at these agencies have trouble finding trainings that help them develop the practical skills and knowledge they need. CUCS, a long time training and service provider, is launching this new training initiative to address this need. Trainings are targeted to front line staff and their supervisors, priced on a per-person basis, and include topics such as developing counseling skills, preventing and responding to crises, understanding mental illness, managing stress, and others of practical, day to day benefit to human services staff.
CUCS is pleased to announce that our Reentry Coordination System (RCS), a Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) funded project administered by CUCS for the New York State Office of Mental Health, was awarded the 2010 PATH Exemplary Practice Award in the Leadership and Collaboration category at the 2010 PATH Grantee Meeting.
