DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Jan 30-Feb 3, 2012 — seminar cost $150
Disasters are increasingly at the forefront of global attention. In the face of devastating losses the heartening response of many individuals, organizations and governments is to provide rescue. But ultimately the key to preventing human impact from disaster events is to limit the risk and therefore the potential for loss. This process of controlling risk is disaster management. This course is tailored to those wishing to both understand the disaster cycle and increase their skills and participation in this field.
DISASTER PSYCHOLOGY
Feb 6-10, 2012 — seminar cost $150
The Basic Crisis Management and Disaster First Aid training program is designed to present the core elements of a comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. This course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services including pre and post incident crisis education, significant other support services, on-scene support services, crisis intervention for individuals, demobilizations after large scale traumatic incidents, small group defusing and the group intervention known as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). Additional time will be spent learning to understand child and teen reactions to trauma and crisis.
CHAPLAINCY FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES
Feb 13-17, 2013 — seminar cost $150
Emergency Services training gives chaplains and other ordained members of faith-based organizations additional expertise and recognition as Victim Chaplains or Victim Relief Crisis Responders. In response to disasters or violent crime, Victim Chaplains provide services to those in dire need of assistance, consultation, prayer, referral to other professionals, crisis intervention and funeral services .
KIDZ CAMPS-ministering to children affected by crisis
Feb20-March 2, 2012 — Seminar Cost $300
Children often are portrayed as highly resilient. Yet, experts say that, of all people affected by disaster, children are among the most emotionally vulnerable. Research shows that children need intervention following a disaster to reduce trauma-related symptoms. In 2003 the Mississippi Center for Disease Control and Prevention did a multi-state evaluation of the effectiveness of a children’s camp, called Camp Noah, following disaster. Their results indicated that after attending camp, “examples of behavioral and symptom changes included children being calmer, better able to speak about what happened to them, sleeping through the night, and having stopped regressive behaviors. The second week of this seminar will be a camp held in a Mexican Colonia!
DISASTER RESPONSE LEADERSHIP SKILLS
March 5-23, 2012 — Seminar Cost $150 per week
For effective disaster response that meets the spiritual, psychological and physical needs of the people, trained team leaders are in much demand. In the last three sessions of this school students will learn the technical and coordination skills useful for responding to many types of disasters and for safely leading response teams. Students will learn how train groups in preparedness and Disaster Action Planning as well as learn to lead clients of disaster through the phases of long-term recovery.
