Navigating conversations around food, health, and body image can feel overwhelming when diet culture and rigid policies complicate how we support the people we serve. 

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.

Substance use is changing and knowing what to look for can make a real difference. Paraprofessionals often spend significant time supporting students throughout the school day and may notice changes in behavior, mood, functioning, or engagement that others miss. 

At our next membership meeting of the UFT Retired Teachers Chapter, you will hear the latest information about important issues facing our chapter. 

At this clinic for all UFT members in the Teachers' Retirement System, we'll introduce the retirement planning process, provide information about understanding your annual benefits statement and discuss the death benefit for survivors when a member dies.

Stress is a natural and valid emotion — but when it goes unaddressed, it can impact our relationships, our health, our behavior, and how we see ourselves.

Student-athletes exist at the intersection of sport, school, family, identity, relationships, and a performance culture that can profoundly shape their mental health and well-being. 

The holiday season can bring joy — but it can also bring stress, overwhelm, and a disruption to our routines. 

Are you preparing to welcome a new child into your life? The UFT is here to help. Register for one of our upcoming Pathways to Parenthood workshops and learn all you need to know about your parental leave benefits as a UFT member.

The holiday season can be especially tender for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
