Putting Together Our List of Seminar Leaders
This is the first year we will be having our seminars on the telephone, rather than the chat room, so we are excited to work with some of those amazing experts who were a bit leery about the technology of chatrooms in previous years.
We’re accepting submissions from experts that can provide a 30-minute presentation and take 30 minutes of questions from guests. Seminars should focus on an aspect of living with illness. Some areas we are looking to cover include:
- How it impacts marriages and families
- Kids with chronic illness
- Talking to your doctor so s/he will listen
- Should you keep working?
- Illness in your 20s or 30s
- Parenting with an illness
- Illness and faith
- Creative ideas for your support group
- How to start an illness ministry
- Applying for disability successfully
- and more!
If you have a topc you would like to present, click here. Guest will be chosen in the next couple of weeks and announced afterwards.
