Program: Professional Development

Audience: This course is designed for School Personnel

Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) is a trauma-informed crisis prevention and management system.

These newly learned skills encourage a greater willingness and capacity for our students to learn.

TCIS helps participants and schools to:

◉ Create a trauma-sensitive environment where students and adults are safe and feel safe within their roles as a staff member
◉ Pro-actively prevent and/or deescalate potential crisis situations with the students they work with
◉ Manage a crisis situation in a therapeutic manner, and, if necessary, intervene physically in a manner that reduces the risk of harm to students and staff

33. Sustainable Systems: Leading Without Burning People Out

Program: Professional Development

Audience: UPK - 12 Leaders

Dates: 7/16/2026

New
As New York State moves forward with NY Inspires and the development of a Portrait of a Graduate, school systems are being asked to think deeply about the skills, dispositions, and experiences we want for our students. At the same time, many educators are feeling the weight of multiple initiatives, shifting priorities, and increasing expectations.

This session invites leaders to step back and examine a critical question: How do we move this work forward in a way that is sustainable for the adults doing it? Rather than adding something new, we will focus on making sense of what is already in motion-exploring how greater coherence across initiatives can reduce overload, increase clarity, and strengthen implementation. Leaders will examine how fragmentation-not effort-is often at the root of burnout, and how intentional leadership moves can create the conditions for more aligned, purposeful work. Through reflection, practical protocols, and collaborative conversation, participants will identify where their systems may be contributing to fatigue or confusion, and where stronger alignment can support both adult well-being and student outcomes.

The goal is not to do less, but to lead in a way that makes the work feel connected, manageable, and meaningful over time.

Program: Professional Development

Audience: UPK - 12 Educators

Dates: 8/6/2026

New
Before we build toward the Portrait of a Graduate, we pause to reconnect with the foundation already in place-our SEL benchmarks. In this session, we'll revisit the NYS SEL benchmarks with fresh eyes not as a checklist, but as something we live out every day in our classrooms, our language, and our interactions with students. We'll take time to notice what's already happening -how students are learning to manage themselves, work through challenges, collaborate with others, and make sense of their thinking. Together, we'll make connections between these everyday moments and the bigger vision we hold for our graduates. Using reflection, quick protocols, and real examples from practice, we'll surface what's already working, name where we can be more intentional, and bring greater clarity to the work in front of us. This is not about adding more, it's about seeing more clearly, so what we do each day feels aligned, purposeful, and connected to the students we are growing.

Learning Targets:

I can notice and name where SEL is already alive in my daily practice.
I can connect what I'm already doing to the bigger vision of the Portrait of a Graduate.
I can choose one small, intentional move that strengthens this connection moving forward

Dates: 10/27/2026 to 5/21/2027

School counselors, psychologists, social workers, and licensed mental health counselors are among the most essential, and most under-supported, professionals in any school building. The NYSMHA Collective Care Team PD Package delivers a full year of coordinated, evidence-based professional development designed specifically for the people doing this work every day.

The program begins with a PD Needs Assessment to ensure all programming reflects your team's real priorities. From there, three In-Person Roundtables bring practitioners together for regional convenings featuring national speakers, evidence-based sessions, and Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Four Virtual Trainings, tailored to district-identified needs, provide focused learning without pulling staff from their buildings. Monthly Job-Alike Coffee Chats connect counselors, psychologists, and social workers with regional peers in the same role, reducing isolation and strengthening the collegial networks that support long-term retention. The package also includes the L-SCET, an evidence-based evaluation tool co-created with administrators to provide a reliable, role-specific framework for evaluating school-based mental health professionals, something standard teacher evaluation tools simply weren't built to do.

Everything is coordinated by NYSMHA, so districts get a complete, turnkey program without the administrative burden of piecing it together independently.
