Upcoming Events

This will be the seventh year I have presented for Justice Clearinghouse. I enjoy working with them as it always pushes me to think of new topics in trauma.
Marist Fathers and Brothers, USA – “Meditation; We do it every day.” – Remote – Northeastern Region – March 16, 2023
I have been providing a variety of trainings for the Northeastern Region of the Marists ten years ago. This training is designed to look at the physical and emotional impact of meditation. The presentation will also look at meditation as an activity that that we do in our daily life, but may not recognize it. I look forward to working with this group again.
Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Taskforce – Wellness Conference – Columbia, MD – March 22, 2023
I have been fortunate to present this conference annually since 2016. During the conference we discuss the impact of secondary trauma on one’s body, brain and behavior. We also look at interventions that law enforcement personnel can use to mitigate that impact. I look forward to meeting the new task force members as well as interacting with longer-term members.
