The HEAL Association is honored to have Dr. David Schonfeld from The National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement host our first official EdChat as The HEAL Association! He will discuss the Center, its efforts, and most importantly how we can support patients, families, and schools dealing with crisis and bereavement.  The Center is known for “assisting hundreds of schools and communities in the U.S. and abroad cope in the aftermath of tragedy, playing a vital role in helping to foster resilience after crisis events, including the September 11th, 2001, World Trade Center attacks; Hurricane Katrina (2005); the 8.0-magnitude earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province (2008); tornado destruction in Joplin MO and Alabama (2011); the Newtown CT school shootings (2012); Aurora community shooting (2012); Marysville WA (2014) and Townville SC (2016) school shootings; Las Vegas community shooting (2017); wildfire destruction of Sonoma County CA (2017); Benton KY and Parkland FL school shootings (2018)”.

What is an EdChat?

An EdChat is an interactive, online presentation and discussion about a specific topic of interest to our members.  The presentation takes place on GoToMeeting, which you will be able to access at no cost to you. The presenter will show a presentation and speak on the computer, and attendees will be able to ask questions throughout the presentation as well as at the end.

All EdChats are archived for members and available under “Resources”>”EdChats”.
