Discussion with Legal Expert Jennifer Cunha, Esq. and Board-Certified Psychiatrist Dr. Ivan Cichowicz

Are tempers flaring in your community meetings? Do you have residents or board members who cross the line — yelling, threatening, or using intimidation to get their way?

Verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical aggression. It erodes trust, divides communities, and creates a hostile environment for everyone involved.

Join us and explore how to recognize verbal aggression, set firm boundaries, and enforce respectful communication under your governing documents.

Learn how to de-escalate heated interactions, protect yourself and fellow board members, and address abusive behavior without escalating the conflict.

Gain the tools to restore civility, safety, and professionalism — and ensure that every voice in your community can be heard without fear.

Do you know the warning signs of elder abuse in your community? Could someone in your HOA or condo be quietly suffering — neglected, exploited, or mistreated — without anyone noticing?

Florida’s aging population makes elder abuse a growing concern for community associations. From financial exploitation to emotional or physical harm, abuse can happen anywhere — even next door.

In this discussion, we'll uncover the realities of elder mistreatment, what every HOA and condo board should watch for, and how to respond responsibly and legally when something seems wrong.

Learn how to recognize red flags, understand mandatory reporting laws, and create a safer, more compassionate community for older residents.

Protect your neighbors. Protect your association. Awareness is the first step toward prevention.

Have you ever encountered a resident who seems confused, withdrawn, or detached from reality — and you weren’t sure how to respond?

Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions, yet people living with it are part of every community, including your HOA or condominium. Misinterpretation can lead to unnecessary fear, conflict, or even discrimination.

Join us for Schizophrenia & Paranoia in Association Members, where we separate myths from facts and explain how psychosis, delusions, and disorganized behavior may appear in real-world community settings.

Learn what the Fair Housing Act requires, how to respond safely and respectfully, and how your association can balance compassion with responsibility.

Discover practical steps for promoting awareness, preventing crises, and supporting residents who struggle with serious mental illness — all while protecting your community and reducing liability.

Knowledge replaces stigma. Understanding saves lives — and strengthens communities.
