Oakton Community College Cosponsors Terrorism Seminar
Learn how to handle the stress of a terrorist attack by attending a conference cosponsored by Oakton Community College's Alliance for Lifelong Learning. The conference, "Aboard the U.S.S. Cole: A Case Study in Organizational and Psychological Strategies After the Threat of Terrorism," is scheduled 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m., Monday, Nov. 22 at New Trier High School, 7 Happ Road, Northfield.
The seminar describes the psychological techniques employed by disaster responders during the terrorist attack on the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen in 2000. The program is designed for social workers, emergency responders, counselors, and teachers.
Keynote speaker Cmdr. John Kennedy was in charge of a nine-member stress management team sent to Yemen to work with the U.S.S. Cole crew as they waited for their ship to be towed to safety. Kennedy also implemented stress management interventions for hundreds of Navy personnel affected by the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States. Presently, Kennedy oversees an integrated stress management program for the U.S. Marine Corps.
The seminar is cosponsored by New Trier Township High School; Veteran's Affairs Medical Center at North Chicago; Chicago Center for the Study of Groups and Organizations; the North Chicago Rotary Club and Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine, Psychiatry and Behavioral Science.
Registration fee of $25 includes continuing education units, and lunch. For a program brochure or more information, call Oakton's Alliance for Lifelong Learning at 847-635-1808, or New Trier High School at 847-784-2251.
