China Earthquake Conference
and Training
In the summer of
2008, I was invited to participate in an International symposium of
crisis intervention in Beijing. The symposium was called in response to
the twin disasters of earthquake and flooding in which tens of
thousands died and millions were dislocated.
I stayed on
after the conference to train crisis counsellors. It was an emotional
and moving experience, to say the least.
You're
welcome to read the daily blog of my interaction there, as well
as a short interview I did with the UCLA Ext. Writers Program upon my
return.
