Can we trust the media? Can we trust law enforcement? Why or why not? And why is that credibility important? Join us in a facilitated community conversation that brings together news media, law enforcement and the public to talk about the issue of how do we ensure we’re getting the true story. This discussion may touch on the use of methods such as body cams, squad cameras and interview cameras and the impact of the release of law enforcement video. It may also explore the impact of social media on public trust and claims of “fake news.”

Registration: 8:00 a.m. Presentation: 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Northcentral Technical College Center for Health Sciences Auditorium
Dealing with domestic violence in counseling settings is often complex and multidimensional. Both newcomers to the field as well as seasoned mental health professionals, counselors, clergy, and others are often perplexed about how to appropriately deal with cases where this relationship dynamic is revealed. Questions arise in terms of how to hold abusers accountable, how to empower victims, responding to the identification of relationship abuse, and dealing sensitively with issues related to faith and religion should they occur, just to name a few.
