Get Ready to ZOOM! We are here to support you!

Many of our offerings are now online. To make the most of your Ellsworth Adult Ed courses, please register for this training so you are ready to join ZOOM with confidence, allowing your class or workshop to run smoothly for all involved.

Online courses are generally shorter than in-person sessions, so we strive to do everything we can to ensure that the course starts on time by addressing technical issues in advance. Our support is individualized and involves a telephone or email survey, resources (guides and videos), and in-person or online practice sessions. Before your online courses begin, you will need a device with a camera and microphone (internal or external), and access to ZOOM on your device. During this class, you will:

learn how to join a ZOOM meeting;
learn how to navigate the buttons on the ZOOM screen;
learn how to use communication tools like chat, hand raising and more; and,
gain an awareness of etiquette to make the most of the experience for you and for others.

This workshop will prepare you! We will be there to support you so you can make the most of your Ellsworth Adult Education workshop, as well as connect with family, friends, religious services and meetings. Please reach out to us!

This is a live online or in-person training; ongoing enrollment.

If you're interested in learning more about this offering, register here and we will call you to schedule a phone or in-person meeting with one of our advisors.

Mental Illness – Let’s Talk About It!

with Shelby Cronkite & Suzanne Fox

$35 More Info

Ellsworth Adult Education is partnering with The Yellow Tulip Project, a youth driven, non-profit organization, to bring conversations about mental health to your community!

The YTP focuses on smashing the stigma surrounding mental illness and building communities of people who realize that hope happens when youth and community leaders work together. Join this three-part workshop to begin these important conversations and to find out how you can make a difference.

Mental illness is that silent elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about but everyone should. Let's Talk About Mental Health provides a safe and interactive space to learn more about mental health and what we as community members can do to reduce the stigma that surrounds the topic.

These sessions are designed to help community members develop useful skills for talking to young adults about these issues. The course will be divided into three distinct modules with plenty of time for discussion and reflection.

To learn more about The Yellow Tulip Project, go to https://theyellowtulipproject.org/

Module One: Talk Saves Lives: This is the AFSP’s important program that helps people recognize the signs for suicide prevention;

Module Two: Facing Stigma: Creating Solutions: A dialogue and discussion on how to reduce stigma, using photos from the I Am More: Facing Stigma photo exhibit; and

Module Three: A panel discussion with our student ambassadors and mental health professionals.

This is a live online course.

Makeup class, if needed, 11/10/21.

The course will be offered on ZOOM; support and a practice session will be provided for those new to ZOOM.

Please contact us at adultedinfo@ellsworthschools.org or 207.664.7110, if you have any questions.

The $35 fee is a donation to The Yellow Tulip project to support the efforts of local initiatives, locally in Maine, the nation and the world! Scholarships are available.
