The first course is a discussion on what code officials can do to minimize stress and reduce mental health risks.

Taking care of your mental health is crucial for both personal well-being and the ability to effectively serve the public. When individuals are struggling with mental health issues, they may have difficulty functioning in their daily lives and may be less able to meet the needs of others. Additionally, neglecting one's own mental health can lead to burnout and ultimately make it more difficult to serve and help others. On the other hand, taking care of one's mental health can lead to increased resilience, improved relationships, and a greater capacity to serve and make a positive impact on the community. Therefore, it is important to prioritize self-care and attend to one's mental health in order to be able to fully serve others and lead a fulfilling life. Join Charles Celano of Chief Leadership as we explore ways to avoid falling into those pitfalls in our daily lives.

The second course is regarding street vending enforcement updates based on the passage of SB297 (Gonzalez) in California.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill to modernize state code and regulations surrounding street vending. Senate Bill 972 is a landmark law designed to make it easier for vendors to sell food on streets throughout the state. Long Beach state Sen. Lena Gonzalez authored SB 972, which is a massive update to the California Retail Food Code. The bill offers a more streamlined path to acquiring a permit and prohibits criminal penalties from health departments or law enforcement. What does this mean to Code Enforcement? Attorney Jim Eckart of Dapeer, Rosenblit, & Litvak LLP (DRL) will help code officials understand this latest change in the law.
