Watch the discussion on Wednesday, April 14, 2021 at 12:00 PM EST as we speak with our guest speaker, Dr. Mary Schoenfeldt, about "CISM Applications in Activated Emergency Operations".
Dr. Mary Schoenfeldt is a faculty member here at ICISF and is an Emergency Management Professional with a specialty in school and community crisis. She has been a part of ICISF from near the beginning and has seen the power...and the evolution…of CISM over the years. She has served on the Board of a state wide CISM network, been a team member of a local CISM team and has helped people around the country understand what CISM is…and what it isn’t. She recently helped update ICISF Schools model and will be co teaching this class and a T4T soon.
She has worked with groups all over the world and has responded personally to all types of incidents… from natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods to airline accidents, school and community violence, and mass fatality incidents. She stepped in to take the job nobody ever wants to have to fill…. The Director of Recovery for a school district who had a mass murder suicide in the high school cafeteria. And she was tasked with coordinating the mental health and support services in an Emergency Operations Center in a community that suffered the most catastrophic mass fatalities incident in the State of Washington. During the pandemic, she has been supporting those responders who stepped in…and stepped up…for a prolonged event that has impacted every…single…person..in the world.
She is a Hall of Fame Member at the International Network for Women in Emergency Management (InWEM), a Faculty member at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute, is a subject matter expert for US Department of Education, was honored with a Real Hero Award from American Red Cross, has been recognized by the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) and earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from ICISF.
