Providing Spiritual Care in a Disaster - Sponsored by Region 2 South
2019-09-16 08:00 - 16:00 | Michigan
Region 2 South is pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring our sixth annual conference for chaplains, clergy, and religious leaders this September! Registration is now open for the Region 2 South “Providing Spiritual Care in a Disaster” conference that will be conducted on September 16, 2019. Please forward this information as appropriate.
Speaker Information: For the fifth year in a row, Region 2 South would like to welcome Rev. Dr. Naomi Paget, Chaplain and Crisis Interventionist back to Region 2 South as the keynote speaker. Dr. Paget is a Board Certified Chaplain with the FBI and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief organization and has been an instructor in Disaster Spiritual Care for many years.
Dr. Paget’s contribution to the fields of crisis management and traumatic stress is rooted in her theological and clinical education in the areas of crisis chaplaincy and psychotrauma intervention. Her doctoral project centered on creating a training program to prepare community clergy and laity to provide appropriate psychological first aid during and after critical events. She has also completed training in numerous crisis intervention courses, including critical incident stress management for individuals and groups, suicide intervention, traumatic stress, grief after crisis, crisis intervention for children, pastoral crisis intervention, and response to aviation incidents. She has earned certification in disaster psychology, as a grief and loss counselor, as a mass prophylaxis distribution coordinator, and other crisis related certificates. she continues to seek training and education in the field of crisis and trauma through national conferences and seminars.
Her clinical practice today, as a chaplain and crisis interventionist for the FBI and for disaster relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, provides many opportunities to work with people in times of crisis over a broad spectrum of events, situations, and agencies.
Many years of clinical experience have given her experiential knowledge informing the academic knowledge gained in formal education. She has worked with victims of various major natural disasters (China earthquakes, Hurricane Katrina, San Diego wildfires), worked with victims of terrorism and other homicides (9/11, Shanksville, Columbine), and worked with victims of individual and community crisis (multi-car accidents, arson, murder). Experience and a recognized level of expertise have created a demand for my services, consultation, and deployment with national relief organizations, the military, and academia. I create training programs, consult, teach (for ICISF, Red Cross, FBI, NAMB Disaster Relief, Golden Gate and Denver Seminaries), write curriculum, present at numerous conferences, and do field interventions.
What: “Providing Spiritual Care in a Disaster” is an instructor-led conference designed to familiarize learners with the spiritual care function to disaster response. The conference will include discussion on case studies, practice-based learning and rehearsal of disaster scenario base counseling skills.

Basic Disaster Life Support Course Hosted and Funded by Region 2 North
2019-11-05 08:30 - 14:00 | Macomb Intermediate School District Room 205
The Basic Disaster Life Support™ (BDLS®) course is a five hour competency-based, awareness-level course that introduces concepts and principles to prepare health professionals for the management of injuries and illnesses caused by disasters and public health emergencies. The course builds upon, applies, and reinforces information presented in the Core Disaster Life Support® (CDLS®) course. This includes application of core principles and concepts in emergency management and public health as introduced in the CDLS course through the PRE-DISASTER Paradigm™ and DISASTER Paradigm™. The primary focus of the BDLS course is incorporation of an “all-hazards” approach to mass casualty management and population-based care across a broad range of disasters. Measures to ensure and enhance health workforce readiness are emphasized throughout the course. This includes a consistent and scalable approach to workforce protection and casualty management, as well as, mass casualty triage and fatality management.

The Region 2 North Hosted and Funded Course is on November 5, 2019, at the Macomb Intermediate School District, 44001 Garfield Road, Clinton Township, MI 48038, in Room 205 (enter South side of building).

R2S Basic Disaster Life Support Course
2019-11-07 10:45 - 17:00 | Michigan
Region 2 South will again host a series of Basic Disaster Life Support (BDLS) courses in Budget Period 1 (BP1) 2019-2020. BDLS is a comprehensive, nationally-standardized family of all-hazards training programs developed by the National Disaster Life Support (NDLS) consortium of academic, state and federal centers.
This year, Region 2 South will be hosting three courses. The first course for BP1 2019-2020 is scheduled for 11-7-19.
This six-hour didactic course is designed to develop commonality of approach and language and to improve the care and coordination of response in WMD disaster and public health emergencies. The curriculum includes an overview of the “D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R” paradigm, injuries and responses associated with different types of disasters, an overview of the public health system and the psychosocial aspects of disasters.
BDLS is a pre-requisite for the Advanced Disaster Life Support (ADLS) – the next course in the NDLS training program. Region 2 South is pleased to announce that we will host one ADLS course in BP1 2019-2020 as a regional initiative. Information will be distributed once registration opens for the course.
This is a reminder for those of you who have taken this course in previous years, the BDLS certification is valid for 3 years. If you have taken this course prior to 2017, this is a good opportunity to renew an expired certification.
When:
Region 2 South is hosting the first BDLS courses for BP1 2019-2020 on Thursday, November 7, 2019. The course will be conducted from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
* Please plan to arrive around 10:45 a.m. to sign-in and receive course materials.
* Lunch will be a “working lunch” at the first break, which will be around 1:00 p.m.
Where:
The BDLS course will be conducted at Wayne County Community College Downriver College Campus in Taylor: 21000 Northline Road Taylor, MI 48180 in the Ray Mix room.
Please note that this course is being offered free of cost to Region 2 South members and neighboring emergency preparedness partners. This course will be supported 100% by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services with funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) Cooperative Agreement Award 1U3REP190584-01.
