How do we maintain a safe and supportive educational environment when a tragic situation happens in our schools? A panel of professionals from local schools will share their experiences on dealing with tragic situations, including: a death of a student or teacher, suicide, natural disasters, etc. Learn from experienced educators and ask your questions about how to work through these difficult times while supporting students, colleagues and caring for your own emotions. Students, faculty, and Indiana University alumni are encouraged to attend.

Panelists:

Kim Walton: Director of Youth Services, Community Health Network, Gallahue Mental Health Center
Casey Thompson: 5th grade teacher, Crestview Elementary School in Lawrence Township
Lynn Lupold: former principal at North Central High School and current fellow at the Center for Excellence in Leadership and Learning at the University of Indianapolis
Maria Collins: Kindergarten Teacher at Winding Ridge Elementary School, MSD Lawrence Township
