Keynote Presentation – Critical Incident Stress Debriefing – (St. Petersburg Ballroom 2&3)
Dr. Nancy Blackwelder, Staff Development Specialist, SafeBus.org
While working at Pinellas Park High School as an assistant principal, Dr. Nancy Blackwelder was victimized by a gun-wielding student. After her ordeal, she recognized that just like the students at her school, education and healthcare administrators who are victimized also require critical incident stress debriefing. After an incident, employee/administrator stress can be exacerbated by their need to return to the scene of the crime each day and their tendency to deny themselves the natural human responses to stress in an effort to care for their students and patients. During the first keynote of the Campus Safety Conference on April 27, she will tell her compelling story and share the ways campus administrators can successfully cope with the challenges of crisis recovery.
