The Stress First Aid Model is a self-care\, leadership\, and peer support approach tailored for high-risk professions such as the military\, fire and rescue\, and healthcare. This training highlights seven essential actions to help you identify and address early signs of stress in yourself and those around you. \nThis program is presented by George Wurzer\, LCSW and Julio C. González Martínez of the STRYDD Center at Northwell Health. \nGeorge Wurzer\, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker since 1994.  He currently serves as the Program Manager for the STRYDD Center at Long Island Jewish Medical Center of Northwell Health.  Prior to his appointment with the STRYDD Center he served as the Director of Children’s Services with the Mental Health Association of Nassau County for 28 years. Mr. Wurzer consults to local school districts for children with ASD and has presented to both schools and clinics on best practices for children on the spectrum. \nJulio C. González Martínez is Associate Professor and Chairperson of the Exceptional Education and Learning Department in the School of Education at the State University of New York at Old Westbury.  He serves as Lead Education Specialist for the STRYDD Center (Supporting Trauma Resilience in Youth with Developmental Disabilities) at Long Island Jewish Hospital and Northwell Health.  Dr. González has a clinical practice in eastern Long Island where he works primarily with immigrant children with special needs and their families. \n
