Dear Community Partner: 

As part of public service and community collaboration efforts, the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services is excited to be able to offer a free training opportunity; “Bridges Out of Poverty”, based on the work of Dr. Ruby Payne. Dr. Payne is considered an expert in the field of poverty research. 

 

 

This one-half day seminar gives both the social service provider and the community member key lessons in dealing with individuals from poverty.  Topics include increasing awareness of the differences in economic cultures and how those differences affect opportunities for success and employment for individuals from poverty.   

This seminar is designed for employers, community organizations, community leaders, law enforcement, counselors, health care and social service providers.   

This training will be offered at the Chanute SRS office Kansas Room, 1500 W. Seventh Street on March 15^th.  There are two sessions to choose from–a morning session from 8:30 a.m. to noon, or an afternoon session from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.    Registrations are currently being accepted for either session.  Training will be offered in Iola at the Allen County Community College theater on March 27^th.  

If you would like to attend the Bridges Out of Poverty Overview, please contact Joan Newman by phone  at 620 431-5000 x 267 or by email at jrxn@srs.ks.gov.   Please register as soon as possible so that we can make appropriate seating arrangements. 

This is an excellent training opportunity and we are excited to be able to present this information to our community.
