<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Rhonda,<br>
<br>
Could you please forward the following to the Psychology master's
students/faculty and the students/faculty of the Counselor Education program?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Cyndi<br>
<br>
Psychology/Counseling faculty and graduate students,<br>
<br>
Dr. Rebecca Hamlin, a graduate of SHSU's clinical psychology doctoral program,
has generously offered to provide a one day training experience for students
and supervisors. This training would prepare attendees to respond to disasters
in Red Cross shelters. Dr. Hamlin is a co-chair of the Texas Psychological
Association's Disaster Response Network.<br>
<br>
It is important to note that students would only be allowed to respond if they
are supervised by a licensed psychologist who has also received Red Cross
training. The training would carry over post-licensure and is applicable in all
states. For licensed psychologists, portions of this training could also be
counted as CEU's.<br>
<br>
As a student who recently completed interviewing for internships, I can tell
you that this is a unique experience that you can discuss in your essays and
interviews and can also highlight in your CV. I found that interviewers were
often very interested in hearing about the experiences I had that were not
typical to most training programs. And, as we have been unfortunately made
aware, our geographical region has experienced large-scale disasters in the
recent past and having this training could enable students to receive real
world experience in disaster relief.<br>
<br>
This training would provide information on many topics relevant to being in the
field following a disaster, including the following:<br>
<br>
1. What to do/not do during a disaster,<br>
2. Self care and burnout,<br>
3. The roles that students can fill,<br>
4. Ethics training, and<br>
5. Psychological first aid.<br>
<br>
The training would take place on campus on a Saturday and would last for 8
hours. At this point, I need to hear from students and supervisors who would
DEFINITELY be interested in taking part in the training. Dates have not yet
been discussed and Dr. Hamlin is aware that the exact number of attendees will
depend on the date. Please respond to <a href="mailto:cynthia.mundt@gmail.com">cynthia.mundt@gmail.com</a>
by Wednesday, February 25 if you are interested in attending.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Cyndi<br>
