Events Upcoming

Hello Friends of NCHERM,

We had a flurry of calls this week asking about upcoming events, as many of you are trying to plan ahead and budget ahead. Here is what we have in store for you in the coming months. I hope you'll join us. Below are the five events (two webinars and three regional seminars) that are already posted on our website, but let me also give you a sneak peek at those that are coming and will be officially announced shortly. We're trying to give you a variety of online, one-day and two-day events to give you budget flexibility, and we're trying to do more regional events so that if you'd like to come, hopefully you'll have lower travel expenses if our event is close by.

May 19 & 20, our 6th Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment two-day Institute will be hosted by Tulane University. Details will be posted to the homepage by Wednesday of this coming week.

Last week of May -- John Byrnes and I will be presenting a one-day drive-in regional seminar on Threat Assessment and Aggression Management in northern Virginia. Details will be posted by next week.

Between June and August, two more of our two-day events are planned, but have not yet been officially scheduled. One will be in eastern Pennsylvania, and one will be at St. Mary's in Notre Dame, IN. We should have those finalized and announced by the end of April.

Finally, the roster of our monthly webinars with MAGNA is set until August. Events up to May are already posted to www.ncherm.org. In June, we're revisiting the current state of efforts to address student suicide on campuses. This event on June 9th will feature Carolyn Reinach Wolf, Esq., a mental health law expert, Jacqueline Wiebe, M.D., a psychiatrist on staff in the health service at the University of Southern Mississippi, and me.

In July, we'll present two webinars, one on the 14th and the second on the 28th. Scott Lewis will present the first one, entitled The Perfect Storm, about how the Millennial challenge became the vexing phenomenon we address daily, and how we can best function to support and cope with this generation of students.

July 28th will be a joint presentation by Saunie Schuster, Scott and me, bringing the three NCHERM partners together for our first joint webinar as partners. This event will focus on the growing trend of personal liability for college administrators, and what it may mean for you.

All our events are hosted by MAGNA Publications (www.magnapubs.com), and are listed on their site and ours 12 weeks prior to the event.

Below are the upcoming events already listed on our site.
