America's Professional Social Workers is proud to join
Simmons College in co-sponsoring the Leadership and
Healing in times of Crisis conference. The conference
offers 10CEs and promises to be a truly unique and inpiring
event.
This conference is designed to create a dialogue and
develop models for practice across a variety of disciplines,
including emergency services, fire/rescue, media, medicine,
mental health, public safety, victim advocacy and religion,
and define the skill sets required to manage trauma
and provide leadership in times of crisis whether the
crisis is large or small.
Using this shared understanding, conference participants
will examine new and existing collaborations, partnerships,
and support systems in order to develop more effective
models for crisis intervention and long-term support
and healing.
