N4A Concurrent Workshop Group I: Disasters & Tragedies: Navigating the Unexpected (Room Salon 1-2)

Sponsored by EAB

As professionals in the field of athletics, our roles often involve more than just providing academic support to student-athletes. N4A professionals also need to be prepared to overcome events such as fires, bridge collapses, and the sudden, tragic loss of life. Please join us as we share our experience working at institutions that suffered unexpected tragedies and natural disasters. This presentation is also geared towards helping practitioners develop strategic plans that they can take back to their own institutions to help students and staff overcome and cope with trauma and loss.The content and discussion in this workshop includes topics that may be emotionally challenging to engage with. Trigger Warnings include: sexual assault, suicide, violence, and death or dying.
