Heather Severson's Media Appearances & Classes
I'm delighted to be one of 38 presenters at Journal Conference 2016, May 19-22, 2016 near Asheville NC. For anyone who writes a journal, for therapists who use journaling as part of their practice, or for poets and writers who are looking for inspiration, this is going to be an extraordinary event. My session combines intentions for the Mindfulness and Professional Growth Tracks.

Searchable database could help decrease child abuse in schools
Published March 24, 2014.
In 2012, Gov. Jan Brewer proposed a database that would make information on teachers readily available online, and it's almost finished. The site would provide the teachers background information, like certificates and disciplinary action, in order to keep better track of who should- and shouldn't- be leading a classroom. When it's up and running, Arizona will join states like Florida, Ohio, and California which already have searchable teacher databases. Cronkite News reporter Yahaira Jacquez has the story.
