2 Important Notes Introduction This Guide To Community Resources is compiled for people who have lost their job or who think their jobs will no longer exist in the near future. To many of us, jobs are not just a financial resource. Our job gives purpose to our lives, self identity and a meaningful place to go every day. The loss of steady income is not the only downside to losing your job. This dilemma struggles to be understood and it is not easily expressed. No one is immune to downsizing or restructuring. There is good news! You have not lost your greatest resource: YOU! You are still the same qualified individual with the experience and personal worth that got you where you are today. No one can take that away from you. Your image, not your pride, will get you back on the employment track. Consider this transition an opportunity to evaluate and re-group. Remember, you are in good company. Many people are experiencing unemployment. They are managing their lives and at the same time finding suitable employment. You can do the same thing. This directory is a self-help tool. It is intended as a community resource guide that provides information to assist you and your family with problems that arise when you do not have a paycheck for a while. The Schuylkill United Way is saddened and concerned about your job loss. Please take advantage of the community services that are available to you right here in Schuylkill County. Hopefully this directory will help you through the hard times you may be facing. If you or your family members have questions about community services or require further information, please call the Schuylkill United Way at (570) or on the web at

3 Surviving Unemployment How do I deal with my feelings? It is normal to have these feelings, concerns and fears: * Panic * Helplessness * Guilt * Depression * Frustration * Betrayal * Denial * Isolation * Blame * Stress * Scared * Anger * Pressure * Resentment * Embarrassment * No Control STOP! Change Your Attitude Recognizing your feelings and dealing with them is the first priority on your road to employment. Losing your job is stressful to you and your family. It is human nature to feel as if the rug has been pulled out from under you. Hiding your feelings and pretending you are not worried or scared only makes things worse for you and those close to you. Here are some ways that may be helpful in dealing with your anxieties: Relieve tension by staying physically active Volunteer Develop hobbies or other interests Share your feelings with people who love and support you Develop or join a support group Our nation s economy is experiencing tremendous change no individual can control. That accounts for why there are so many able bodied and competent people who now find themselves temporarily out of work. It is important to understand that you are still a valued member of the community. To survive unemployment remember to incorporate the following into your new beginning: Fast Facts 99% of every dollar raised in Schuylkill County stays right here in Schuylkill County. In the last five decades, the Schuylkill United Way returned over $22 million in allocations to partner agencies that provide programs and services at little or no cost. The Schuylkill United Way budgeted $1,030,000 resulting from the 2010 Campaign. One new partner agency was added, Sexual As sault Resource Counseling Center, and allocations to all of the remaining 14 agencies was increased. This is the third time and third year in a row raising more than a million dollars in a sin gle campaign Administrative costs for the Schuylkill United Way are 16%, well below the state average of 25%. The Schuylkill United Way is an independent non-profit organizat ion that is governed by a 30 member Board of Directors. Schuylkill United Way partner agencies served 88,500 people last year throughout Schuylkill County. That number represents nearly half of the entire county s population. All prizes used as incentives for the campaign are donated by local community minded companies. During the 2010 Stuff the Bus promotion, over 900 backpacks were collected and stuffed with school supplies. Those backpacks were then distributed to the 15 agencies and given to local children in need. Do NOT be complacent * Do NOT forget to love Do NOT abandon the truth * Do NOT lose your sense of humor Do NOT let failure win * Do NOT lose confidence in yourself

Tamaqua YMCA The YMCA is the number ONE largest provider of child care in the country offering an enriching, fun, and educational experience. EveryONE should have access to the help and support that is provided to them through the programs and services offered by each of the 15 partner agencies. The following recommendations are made in order that payments of fi nancial obligations can be arranged during financial hardships. You can help yourself considerably by taking the following actions before you get into trouble. Protect Yourself Notify your mortgage holder that you are on layoff. If you are unable to meet mortgage payments, request a postponement or reduction of payments until you return to work. If you rent, inform your landlord of the layoff. Again, if you are unable to pay your rent, ask for a postponement or temporary reduction until you are called back to work. All utilities (phone, gas, electric and water) should be notified that you are on layoff. In most cases, payment arrangement can be made if you explain your situation. If you are making payments on an automobile, furniture or holding accounts at department stores or loan companies and are unable to make payments, you should give notification that you are on layoff and request a moratorium or reduction on your accounts until you return to work. If you are paying alimony or child support, make sure that you contact the judge, domestic relations office or court who issued the decree, and inform them of the situation. Contact your doctor, dentist, medical clinic, hospital, etc., most of them will wait for payment if asked and informed of the situation. The same is true of most other creditors. Contact them immediately and explain the situation. Some creditors may expect you to pay a small amount each week or month, depending on when your payments are due, but at least it will relieve you of making full payments temporarily. If this is the case, you are strongly urged to comply with the creditor s request. If you make arrangements, be certain you are prepared to live up to them. It has been found that if the above recommendations are followed before the problem becomes acute, satisfactory arrangements usually can be made. Of course, this assumes that you have a good record of payment in the past, have not been delinquent or continuously late and have attempted to meet your obligation on a regular basis. It is good practice to always notify a creditor if you will be late on your payments and the reason for the delay.
