The Rochester Regional Women's Network will be hosting a virtual event with NYSUT ELT’s Bernice Rivera on February 25 2021 from 5:30-7:30. 

Join us for an opportunity to network with other NYSUT women in the Rochester Region and for a talk about Intersectionality.

• What do we mean by intersectionality? 

• How did this concept emerge?

• How does it specifically affect women, our students, staff and women of color?

This conversation engages women in explaining, describing and recognizing intersectionality. We’ll grapple with the complexity of intersectionality and its importance to the feminist/women’s movement, education, and our lives.

Advanced registration is required. Registration is capped at 60 so please sign up soon!

 REGISTER HERE. 

Women's Network is hosting an open forum to discuss and create action in support of NYSUT's efforts to promote equity and social justice. The forum will addresses civil and human rights initiatives and social justice issues facing GTA members and our communities.  

Tentative Book club dates 

July 19 & August 11 2021  7:00pm-8:00pm

If you are interested in joining in but the dates don't work, please email karen.schindler@greececsd.org

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

From Amazon:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book is a gift! I’ve been practicing their strategies, and it’s a total game-changer.”—Brené Brown, PhD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dare to Lead

This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life.

Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things—and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” at work when you’re already operating at 110 percent and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you you’re too fat, too needy, too noisy, and too selfish?

Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against—and show us how to fight back. In these pages you’ll learn

• what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle—and return your body to a state of relaxation

• how to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration

• how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies—and how to defend yourself against it

• why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering and preventing burnout

With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pages—and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia aren’t here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of “having it all.” Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we are—and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach.
