RAVE REVIEWS
"What I needed was a gentle touch, a welcoming voice, a warm embrace. Cheri's work provided clarity, was filled with respect, and she delivered her message with great tenderness and sensitivity, exactly what I desperately needed. [speaking about her personal experience with the events of 911]"
--Ada Rosario Dolch

Video Conferencing |
We at CMI are committed to make training available in as many formats as possible, to reach the greatest numbers of those who work with youth possible. To this end, we're instituting video conferencing and online on demand professional development.
We will be publishing pre-scheduled video conferencing, for which any individual or group is welcome to register. We will be offering our hottest topics in formats to be easily accessed for school staff of all
sorts. For instance, some one-hour offerings specific to counselors and administrators might be during the school day while those aimed at teachers will be shortly after dismissal time for after-school viewing.
In addition to those that are scheduled by us, we invite districts to request specific content at specific times to meet their unique needs and desires. For instance, following a full team training, CMI recommends that all staff who work with youth in the entire district have the opportunity to be included in a one-hour segment on suicide prevention. There are some simple things that people can do that will save lives. And that is just one example.
Other uses of video conferencing include bringing Ms. Lovre in to a parent meeting in the evening, following a string of suicides, a teacher arrest for soliciting sex on the internet, or other thorny issues that may have disrupted the trust parents had in the school district. What we know is that in the aftermath of major events, kids need compassionate adults and/or counselors and adults need experts.
Nothing rebuilds trust in your school like having an outside expert speak highly of the plans your district had in place ahead of time, the appropriate steps that were immediately taken and the desire and the proactive steps the district is instituting to address the current situation.
See our listing of segments commonly requested, and if we don't have what you want, call or email to see whether we can put it together for you. If it is outside of our expertise, we'll try to find you the expert who can meet your needs.
