2A Daily News – Friday, September 13, 2013 Community people&events Workshop in Corning to help strengthen families A workshop on the Five Protective Factors will be presented 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25 at Rolling Hills Casino in Corning. The Five Protective Factors are a key component in the strengthening families framework that can be used by social services and other disciplines that work directly with children and families. Staff unfamiliar with this research-based framework will learn about the underlying link between the presence of these factors and the reduction in abuse and neglect. Staff will learn how to identify the protective factors shown to impact abuse and neglect, practical ways to incorporate them into their agency's programming, and how to inspire families and communities to find and act on their strengths. The Five Protective Factors are Parental Resilience, Social Connections, Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development, Concrete Support in Times of Need, Social and Emotional Competence of Children Who should attend? New staff working directly with children and families who want to increase their skills to strengthen families, any staff who are not familiar with the protective factors, anyone in a position to nurture children and strengthen families.

How about this one? There are two kinds of people in the world, those that eat when stressed, and those who don't understand the situation well enough to be stressed. (If you've never had to lose weight, you won't find that as humorous as those who do; sorry.) I have a friend who's beanpole skinny. "How do you stay thin?" I asked. Replied this wisp of a man, "When I'm stressed, I lose my appetite." Say what? Not eat when frazzled; on how many levels is that wrong? So, I'm supposed to speak in another state in two weeks. The agreement was executed early this year. Last month the phone rings. "Hi Scott. We're having budget issues, which requires the governor to now review every personal services contract to see if we're going to go ahead with the agreement." "OK," I reply, "This affects me how?" "You have one of those types of agreements. But," my contact quickly appends, "don't worry, (famous last words) they've given a green light to the conference so we should have everything worked out in a couple days. After all, we can't have a convention without speakers, can we?" Would you be as surprised as I was if I tell you they can? Yep, true. With barely a week remaining before I travel, rivaling the brilliance of a low-wattage, burnt out bulb, some upperlevel, mucky-muck decided that 500 people spending two days milling about a conference center — sans speakers — is an appropriate way to shave a few bucks. I understand I'm a little close to the forest Scott to see the trees, but will the attendees draw names to determine who speaks? Whoever makes decisions like these would trim budgets by purchasing cars without tires. So, what do I do now? This is my livelihood and income; there was some decent coin involved. Of course, that's kaput so my worrymeter starts redlining. I need to ramp down quickly, but how? Quick as one can shout, "Family size bag of tortilla chips", the solution explodes across my brain, "Eat, of course!" Yeah, that's the ticket; eat so much I gain weight. They'll feel bad because they hurt my health. Remorse will kick in. They'll gather on a conference call, run some ideas up the flagpole, do a feasibil- ity study, convene an ad-hoc group, discuss options, and conclude the only sane decision is to rehire me. Sure, that'll teach 'em! Where's the chocolate? Made sense in the moment. So anything stationary long enough to get pierced with a fork disappeared into my gullet. Logically, not so smart; but, in a carb-fueled frenzy, am I clear thinking? Not so much. Before you shake your Q. head, sadly pitying this now somewhat-plumper shell of a man, here's the kicker: it appeared to work! My psychic pain must have been so intense that they felt it two states away and they rehired me! Really! Of course, my topic, "Handling Stress," is being renegotiated.
