Sunshine & Sadness is a 7-week virtual drop-in grief support group that offers members a supportive space to process the loss of a loved one, connect with others who understand and explore ways of carrying grief through the summer months.

If you're worried about how you will manage your loan payments, the Student Debt Relief Program, exclusively for UFT members, is here to help. This webinar provides the tools and strategies to tackle your student debt. We'll cover the basics of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and income-driven repayment plans, which are designed to make your loans more manageable with payments based on your income. You are a dedicated educator who has invested in our children’s futures, so please take this opportunity to invest in yours. Register today and discover the path to a debt-free life.

Mental health services are available to all UFT members throughout the summer courtesy of the UFT's Member Assistance Program. Members are invited to participate in MAP’s seasonal self-care group. Each week, the group will delve into a different area of wellness and personal growth as MAP’s licensed clinicians offer practical tips, strategies and support. Members can come for all sessions or drop in for the topics that mean the most to them.

Mental illness and addiction affect people regardless of race, education, or career. To help shatter the stigmas and stereotypes around these conditions, the UFT Member Assistance Program has partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI-NYC) to bring a unique presentation, “In Our Own Voice”, to our members. Two trained volunteers who are living with serious mental health conditions will share their experiences of mental illness and recovery. The hour-long presentation consists of three sections: What Happened, What Helps, and What’s Next. Members will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their own experiences, and learn about available mental health resources.

Take one of our classes to obtain certification in necessary lifesaving skills, including first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of automated external defibrillators, for child care providers. Each four-hour class is designed to meet the needs of licensed, registered and legally exempt (informal) providers. Participants who complete the class will receive a certificate of completion and a certification card indicating proficiency in these lifesaving skills. We offer classes in English and Spanish for each time slot.
