Calendar of Upcoming Training Events

The Surviving Parents Network meetings are intended for parents who have lost a child, as well as the family and friends who love and support them.  While the format may vary from meeting to meeting, the general atmosphere is that of a mutual aid support group.  Because of the sensitive nature of the discussion topics, and the likelihood of self-disclosure by meeting attendees, all persons in attendance are instructed and expected to adhere to strict rules of confidentiality.  What is said in the meeting must remain in the meeting.  

The meetings will start and end promptly at the times noted on the calendar.  TO avoid disruption, attendees are asked to be prompt in arriving, and to remain for the entire meeting (1 hour), unless leaving is absolutely necessary.  Attendees should log in with their first name and initial of their last name;  e.g. "Joel J."

In order for attendees to be admitted into the webinar "room," they must first contact the Meeting Facilitator, Joel Johnson, at JJohnson@NCITI.org.  At point of contact, Mr. Johnson will provide prospective attendees with the information necessary to enter the room. 

The same procedures apply to admission into the Webinar training sessions listed for each month.  Participation in these training sessions is open to the general public.

The M*A*S*H Unit meetings are closed groups, held bi-weekly.  In order to be vetted for the group, please contact the Meeting Facilitator, Joel Johnson:  JJohnson@NCITI.org

There is no mandatory charge for meetings and webinars listed on July's calendar.  Attendees are invited, but not expected, to make a small financial contribution to the National Crisis Intervention Training Institute, Inc., if they feel so inclined.  

Adopting  Twelve Step Programs' Traditions of mutual aid support --and of their meetings being self-supporting by Members-- all contributions, large and small, are greatly appreciated, and will be utilized to finance the sustenance of the Webinar and Meeting formats, and other programs free to NCITI's clientele.
