I am looking forward to my next presentation on Tuesday April 11. It will be at the Southwest MN Human Rights Conference addressing stereotyping, discrimination and other societal challenges. The conference is being hosted by Southwestern Center for Independent Living in conjunction with the Southwest Minnesota State University and will be held in Marshall, MN. My topic will be “The long term psychological impact of bias-based bullying”, which is based on my first book.
I am also excited about my next presentation on the topic of prevention of child sexual abuse based on my second book “Father Figure – my mission to prevent child sexual abuse”. This will be on April 21 at the Illinois School Counselors Association conference in Rosemont, IL. As I have stated before, it is really important for school staff (such as school counselors) to be well aware of the associated issues and how they can be helpful when needed to support young children in this matter. School counselors are well trained to be able to connect with the children, and that is why it is important for them to know how they can be helpful if a relevant situation arises. I am hoping for an eventful session with a lot of thoughtful discussions.
