From NHSCA, we were wonderi= ng what we could provide for professional development. If we wanted to train people= in regions, we could have the regional Red Cross representative train counselo= rs. Other opportunities are Disaster Behavioral Health Response Team (DBHRT); a= ll trainings are free. In the training standards, it now states that all school counselors should be trained in psychological first aid. It was asked what = is the best way to train graduate students. Donna thin= ks that the DBHRT training is more appropriate for school counselors vs. the R= ed Cross training, due to the types of responses. It was mentioned that there = is a free psychological first aid pamphlet on SAMHSA’s website.
Susan is going to further explore the best way to train school counselors in psychological first aid/crisis management. Susan will = have some graduate students explore various types of training to further explore these options. She will report out at the next meeting.
It was asked if we should p= rovide training; it could be a break-out or vein of the Summer Institute, along wi= th the military training from the Red Cross. This would be great if we trained counselors across the state, it would create a common language among all sc= hool counselors in the state.

Kathryn would not be able to attend the institute if it occurred the 3rd= or 4th week of July.
Kathryn = will take care of a save the date cards for the fall conference. On the card, it= was suggested that we include the theme of the institute, as well as if people = are interested in working on the committee to contact Kathryn.
It was s= uggested that we send a notification of the upcoming summer institute to administrat= ors, referencing the legislative mandate for the implementing of the national mo= del. This will get the word out and increase the attendance. By the fall confere= nce, we will have a draft letter to administrators. Annette will draft the lette= r as the PR chair. It was suggested that we send the letter to assistant princip= als as well.
Rebecca = will add to the fall conference evaluation questions about how far along they are in= the implementation of the model as well as their interest in attending the summ= er institute.
Universal Technical Instit= ute (UTI) is int= erested in becoming involved with NHSCA. They are interested in helping sponsor our events. It was suggested that UTI come to our next overnight board meeting.= Kim will contact them.
This raised the issue of h= aving vendors at conferences. While we are interested in this, it lends itself for the need to have a professional development chair.
There was a discussion abo= ut liability insurance. Ki= m L will contact ASCA.
