Keynote Speakers:

J. Kevin Cameron, M.Sc., R.S.W., 

Kevin Cameron developed Canada's first comprehensive, multidisciplinary threat assessment training program and currently serves on the Canadian Threat Assessment Training Board. He also trains crisis response teams nationally and internationally and developed The Traumatic Event Systems (TES) model which helped to explain, describe and predict significant aspects of the traumatic aftermath from a school shooting locally, provincially and nationally.  This model included a basis for differentiating between crises vs. traumatic events; and a process for individual and systems recovery.

He has years of clinical experience, including working in the Child Welfare and Young Offender systems in Canada, providing high-risk assessment and intervention with children, youth and families .

Richard Filion - Director General - Dawson College, Montreal

Richard Filion presents us with lessons learned from the horrific tragedy at Dawson College on September 13, 2006.  Richard brings an experience of extreme violence, terrible shock and the worst kind of experience an educational community can go through. Richard has written to all: “despite all the sadness, grief, pain and anxiety felt in the aftermath of September 13, Dawson College has gotten back on its feet and have found themselves inspired by extraordinary resilience, energy and the resources to provide the community with what was most needed in this troubled time: care and understanding.”
