Have you wanted to become a Council-approved supervisor for social work professionals, but you would like to do it in an interesting format?  Supervision Pathways offers a multi-media approach to learning about supervision strategies and processes through:

Presenting a broad array of knowledge centering on supervision of clinical work, as well as the many types of agency and community work that supervisors must manage to be successful

Northwest Roundtable - 06/23/2022 | HOZNW06L23

This course provides a look into ethical philosophies we all hold that guide our personal and professional lives and discusses the values upon which our choices are based. Ethical behavior is more than knowing what’s right and what’s wrong. It’s making the right choices for our profession and the organizations and customers we serve. The public looks to us as to maintain a standard of ethics and integrity and the Texas State Board holds us accountable for protecting the CPA brand, but are we meeting these obligations?
 
 CPE: 4.0 hours. This course is designed to meet the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy’s (TSBPA) Ethics Course Requirement for Licensees for four hours of continuing education. It also satisfies the annual ethics requirement for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) and the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

Forms of Texas Divorce & How Financial Advisors Can Assist in the Process

 

Tasha Rock, CFP®, CDFA® - Per Stirling

 

Learn the pros and cons to the methods available for the divorce process in Texas including collaborative, mediation, and traditional. We will walk the audience through a meeting with a financial neutral and will give examples of post divorce budget, property division considerations, and valuation options in divorce preparation. We aim to provide insight into ways a financial planner may support clients and instill confidence in their ability to make good, well informed decisions through the divorce process while relying on experts in the divorce field to guide clients through their available options and future interests.

 

Tasha Rock's planning and management philosophy was formed during her years as an entrepreneur, where she learned the true value of developing personal relationships and customized service for each client. Her additional experiences working for a CPA firm, on divorce teams, and as a CFP® professional have expanded her perspective and skills necessary to support clients with varied needs. For more than a decade, Tasha has worked with clients at all stages of their financial lives to provide highly personalized guidance and comprehensive financial planning. Tasha brings objectivity to client situations, works to anticipate and prepare for life changes, and takes the time to clearly understand clients to assist them in achieving their goals. In 2016, after beginning her own long and challenging divorce, Tasha discovered a new passion for assisting clients in transitional stages of their lives, leading to the completion of her Collaborative Divorce Texas Basic Interdisciplinary Training. In 2017, she completed her Advanced Interdisciplinary Training. This allows her to act as a financial neutral in the divorce field where she advises and educates both spouses. She is also adept as a financial advocate, assisting one spouse through their unique financial circumstances. In either situation, she works to help resolve conflicts and prepare for the future through education and negotiation, while focusing on achieving individual and mutual goals. After a few years of negotiating the financial aspect of divorces, Tasha completed the Basic Mediation Training at The University of Texas School of Law in 2019.

What’s This About?

The last two years have been hard on everyone. Across Houston, people say they are more anxious, tired, and overwhelmed than ever before. All the different kinds of losses from COVID have increased stress, grief, and worry in almost every family in every community. It’s ok not to feel ok.

Support overall emotional wellness
Help communities strengthen and grow existing support systems
Build new networks to emotional health providers
Find new ways to break down stigmas around mental health
No one should feel alone in our communities. Healthy Minds, Healthy Communities aims to help us care for ourselves, our family, our friends and our neighbors.
