“Return on Assets: How Health & Wellness Can Bolster You, Your Team, and Your Bottom Line”Wednesday, March 9, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
Investing in the physical and mental well-being of your staff – and yourself as an operator – not only has extraordinary potential to boost your bottom line, but provides ancillary benefits for hiring and retention that are crucial if you want your business to thrive. Colorado Restaurant Foundation president Laura Shunk will moderate a panel discussion with a restaurant operator, health care provider, and community group leaders about the concrete strategies and practices you can adopt to keep yourself, your business, and your team alive and well.

…Guess who will be speaking?

Erin Boyle is CHOW’s Executive Director, friend, sister, wife, daughter, dog momma, potter, reader, crafter, walker, nanny, and chef. She trained as a chef at the Culinary Institute of America and went on to work in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., New York City, and Denver. After almost two decades in the industry, Erin transitioned to teaching and loved it.
Erin has watched staff, family, and friends in hospitality struggle with mental health and substance abuse; she, like many, struggles with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. In 2019, Erin decided to dedicate her energy toward improving access to mental health and wellness resources for all in the hospitality business. As Executive Director, Erin focuses on outreach and aims to normalize mental health conversations in the restaurant industry.

TRAINING TO STOP ANTI-ASIAN/AMERICAN AND XENOPHOBIC HARASSMENT

Visual notes created for Houston Coalition Against Hate on May 3rd, 2021

In response to the rise in Anti-Asian/American and xenophobic harassment, we at Hollaback! partnered with Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC to adapt our free bystander intervention training as well as offer a de-escalation training adapted to support the Asian/American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. The Asian Americans Advancing Justice affiliation has been documenting stories of anti-Asian hate crimes and hate incidents since 2017 at www.StandAgainstHatred.org, which is available in English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. To address the rising number of anti-Asian hate crimes in 2021 and offer trainings to communities nationwide, we are now also partnered with Asian Americans Advancing Justice| Asian Law CaucusAsian Americans Advancing Justice Los Angeles, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago

Unfortunately, attacks against the AAPI community and xenophobic crimes in the US are not new phenomenon. The US has a long history of anti-Asian racism, and we have seen it manifested against different AAPI communities in many ways over the years, from discrimination in school to harassment against Asian women and more. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen increases in anti-Asian discrimination, racism, and harassment, and even anti-Asian attacks, hate crimes, and violence such as the Atlanta spa shooting in March 2021. The surge in anti-Asian racism and harassment continues to devastate AAPI communities in the US and across the world each day. As a collective, we need to take action. 

You may be asking yourself: what is a hate crime? Why are hate crimes increasing? What is the history of hate against Asians in the US? How can I intervene against racism in college, at work, and on the street?

Microaggressions & Recognizing Bias

This is an interactive virtual event offered to those near and far via Zoom

Join us for our quarterly Mediation Matters Continuing Education Workshop focusing on microaggressions and bias within the Transformative Mediation space. Community leaders and mediators Jasmine Chan, Pila Martinez, Vana Dee Lewis and Ronald Wilson leading the conversations around microaggressions and unconscious bias moderated by Center Manager, Joanna Marroquin.

People are often unaware of how their words or actions impact the recipient, whose experiences differ from their own. Regardless of the intention, microaggressions have affects on people’s lives.
