Lunch and Learn Series: Psychological Effects 1

Description
This session will present what is known about the psychosocial factors that affect how communities respond to exposures to hazardous substances.

The training will be both in-class and Net Conferencing. It is being held as part of the "Lunch and Learn" series being held during the ATSDR Basic Course for Health Assessment and Consultation. Travel to Atlanta, Georgia, is not necessary. All you need in order to attend this training is a PC with access to the Internet and a separate phone line. However, only a limited number of connections (portals) are available. Please reserve a room at your location with Internet projection so one portal can serve multiple attendees to maximize the training opportunity for all partners. Procedural details will be provided via email to individuals reserving a portal for the training (e.g., bridge number, Web site link, and information on any plug-ins necessary for connectivity and pre-course testing).

Those in Atlanta are invited to participate in the training at the location specified below.
