ONLINE-The Right to Relationships and Sexuality – A DSP Guide to Foster Appropriate Discussion
2025-07-10 10:00 - 12:00 | Online via Zoom
July 10th 10am-12pm

Presented by Hopper Trainings LLC

Online via zoom

Members $70 / Non Members $95

Due to a lack of knowledge and opportunities, individuals in the industry may have inadequate means of developing meaningful relationships outside of their core providers and support systems. This can make developing friendships difficult and dating an insurmountable feat. The need to love and be loved is every individual’s right, but their pursuit can be hampered by a system that may not feel comfortable answering direct questions about love and relationships. With this session, we will explore healthy conversations you can have with individuals, whether they wish to discuss friendships, relationships, and/or dating. Avenues like physical intimacy will also be explored, with options for staff who may be uncomfortable with discussing such topics.

Target Audience: DSPs and all staff that provide direct supports to individuals. NOTE – This course is not a guide on how to perform an individual consent evaluation and is not geared toward Behavior Specialists and/or Psychologists.

Training/Workshop Objectives:
o Offering Praise and Improving Self-Esteem
o Understanding Relationships
o Friendships
o Rejection/Loneliness
o Dating
o Preventing Abuse
o Understanding Sexuality
o Utilization of the PLISSIT Medical Model in our field

Most nonprofit organizations have a “donate” button on their website. But that does little to attract donations, and it is often improperly set up, making giving a problem for donors.
We will begin the series focusing on strategies beyond the “donate” button. This session will focus on developing your fundraising plans, how to get started, and how to implement some simple strategies to seek gifts, grants, and contributions from donors. How to develop a realistic fundraising budget, soliciting support from leadership and the Board of Directors, and how to address problems such as lack of attendance and other potential risk.

The session will offer easy systems and tools to implement effective strategies to begin fundraising. We will also help organizations avoid fundraising pitfalls.
