Keynote Speaker: Dr. Farris Jordan Those who have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Jordan rave about his motivational and humorous presentations. Participants have said, “Your presentation was given raves by our teachers. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious,” and “we have had so much feedback from folks telling us how much they enjoyed your inspirational talk!”. A Sampling of our Interest Sessions: Body-Mind Approaches to Helping and Healing, Effects of Bullying, Preventing Sexual Assault, Anger Management, Suicide Prevention, Legal and Ethical Issues, Addressing Family Stress, Choice Theory, Reality Therapy, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Clinical Supervision and Counseling, Cyberbullying, Principal/Counselor Collaboration Strategies, Child-Parent Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and much more! The Conference cost has been rolled back this year to accommodate tight budgets. Included in the low price will be: • an opening speaker who will inform and entertain you; • all the professional interest sessions you can attend in one day; • all the food you can eat (a continental breakfast, a delicious lunch, and snacks throughout the day); • activities and tips for a healthy and happy lifestyle; and, • free parking. We urge you to share this professional development opportunity with the counselors in your area and encourage them to sign up to attend. Please pass along the SMCA Information Flyer.
