Chris has facilitated several online distant learning
Ecopsychology Courses for Dr. Michael Cohen, a Special NGO Consultant to United Nations
Economic and Social Council Program. (1999-2001) Dr. Cohen received the 1994 Distinguished
World Citizen Award, presented by Assistant Secretary General of the United
Nations, Dr. Robert Muller
For more than 35 years Chris has had the opportunity to attend
numerous seminars, read, analyzed, synthesized, and evaluated a variety of
books related to education, and child & adult development. He has spent
hundreds of hours researching and studying research related to possible causes,
and a variety of modalities used to treat numerous mental conditions, as well
as communication with many doctors and counsellors throughout North America,
Europe and Oceania.
Chris has taught
English, Social Studies, Health, and Art at the junior high school level, and
all compulsory subjects, including eight years as a Resource Teacher (PST), at
the elementary school level. He has been a participating member and chairperson
of Program Planning Teams, and overseen the setting up and maintenance of the
computer lab at Carleton Consolidated School, where I coordinated a Grassroots
Project. He has facilitated workshops regarding the
value of creating a classroom atmosphere that supports the growth of
self-esteem in children for the Tri County School Board, and for the Primary
Elementary Teachers Association (PETA) at their annual provincial conferences. He
has conducted workshops related to the writing process, editing, and
publication of books, and demonstrated the use of educational software, for
these organizations.
Chris volunteered in a
unit at a hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was a unit where he worked with
youth who were in a state of severe physical, mental and developmental
disarray. They were described by such terms as severe "deformity", "dysmorphism"
or "dysmorphic". They were existing at the most severe acute phase of
mental illness.
As a volunteer at
Yarmouth Regional Hospital (Rehabilitation Services) Chris visited patients who
had limited social interaction due to mobility, loneliness, limited family
visits, or physical ability to leave their room.
In 2013 Chris experienced a powerfully
positive learning and life changing event when he had a seizure and car
accident which led to a 21-hour surgery to remove a massive brain tumor.
Throughout the years Chris has had articles related to child
development (self-esteem) published in the following journals, newsletters, newspapers
