SUMMARY:Wilderness First Aid Training
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to spend time outdoors? Accidents happen; if you or someone in your group got hurt\, would you know what to do? People get hurt\, sick\, or lost. Many back country emergencies are preventable and even when bad things happen\, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. \nWilderness First Aid is the perfect course for the outdoor enthusiast or trip leader who wants more than basic level of first aid training for short trips with family\, friends\, and outdoor groups. The 16 hour long (two-day) program focuses on the skills of: Response and Assessment\, Musculoskeletal Injuries\, Environmental Emergencies\, Survival Skills\, Soft Tissue Injuries\, and Medical Emergencies. \nThose who complete the course and pass the written and practical skills will receive a Wilderness First Aid certification from SOLO which is valid for 2 years. SOLO is among the leaders in Wilderness Medicine Training and certification. Coffee and snacks will be provided each day. This course will be held at Wasserman Park in Merrimack\, NH. \nDue to COVID 19; we are capping class sizes to no more than 12 people. Classroom space will be setup to allow for students to remain 6ft apart during didactic lessons. For practical work\, students are paired with one person\, and one person only. These people will work together during practical sessions/assessments and otherwise will be expected to remain separated during class. The pair will remain the same from day one through day two. We will not be teaching group scenarios and will also only discuss certain components\, such as patient lifting and moving. \nThe cost of this invaluable training is $160.00 per person. \nFor questions\, call Merrimack Parks & Recreation at 603-882-1046

SUMMARY:Fall E-Seminar: Leading with Purpose In Our Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Work
DESCRIPTION:Who do you aspire to be as a leader?  And what is your personal shadow—the dark part of the self that threatens to diminish your impact in the world? And how does this inner clarity impact your efforts to create communities that are diverse\, inclusive\, and equitable? Join us for a powerful session that will invite you to engage in some deep inner work and reflection around these questions. \nDuring this session\, we will explore the interconnected nature of inner change (within the self) and outer change (in the world around us). We will reflect on our own highest aspirations for who we want to be as leaders in the work we do and will take the unusual step of confronting the shadow—the dark side of our aspirations—that we all possess but often refuse to acknowledge. \nFollowing a 90-minute e-workshop focused on engaging with these questions\, we will gather to think through some specific leadership challenges related to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion brought to the session by participants. Together\, we’ll explore how we might address those challenges in ways that align with our mission and avoid our personal shadows. \nThe goals of this session are as follows: \n\nGain a higher consciousness of the interconnected nature of inner and outer change\nAchieve greater clarity regarding our own person leadership mission and shadow\nBuild skills and understanding around how to harness this inner clarity to address real-world challenges\n\nWhen:             Wednesday\, November 18\, 2020\, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm \nProgram will run approximately 10:30 am – 1:00 pm with optional networking from 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm \nWhere:            Online\, via Zoom \nHow Much:     $40/members; $60/non-members \nRegistration Link \nSponsored by:\n \nIf you are joining us for our Navigating Your Financial Path Forward e-seminar on October 21\, save 20% off of your registration fee for this Leading With Purpose e-seminar! \nQuestions?
