Attendees will learn how to recognize warning signs, ask about suicidal thoughts in a supportive way, connect individuals to help, and create safer environments during times of crisis. Open to all community members—no prior experience in mental health or suicide prevention required.

  • The Intersection of Brain Injury and Domestic Violence: Adapting Assessment and Treatment

  • Exploring Motivational Interviewing in Group Therapy: A Conversation with Ali Hall & Kristin Dempsey

    Group therapy plays a central role in the treatment of justice-involved clients and related programs.

  • Surviving the Parkland Mass Shooting: Insights from a Father and Daughter on Advancing Trauma Recovery

    On Valentine’s Day, 2018, a tragic mass shooting occurred at Marjory Stoneman-Douglas (MSD) High School in Parkland, Florida. Among those present that day was sophomore Olivia Feldman, who was in Building 12 where the shooting took place. This event has had long-lasting effects on survivors, parents, and community members alike. Yet, little discussion has focused on how those directly affected experienced the aftermath or how the school system and mental health community responded.

    Ms. Feldman and her father, Dr. David Feldman—a Parkland community member and mental health professional—developed this training to help professionals better understand both the immediate and long-term impacts of school shootings. Drawing from their perspectives as a survivor and as a clinician within the Parkland community, they explore how the mental health and wellbeing of students were addressed in the weeks and months following the tragedy. Rather than focus on the events of the shooting and the law enforcement response, Ms. Feldman and Dr. Feldman focus on what helped students feel safe. They reflect on which mental health interventions “worked,” how those interventions were presented and implemented, and what “did not work.”
