How it works
Your school or organization needs a speaker for professional development, school assembly, training exercise, PTO meeting, or any other function or event.
Fill out a request form, and we'll work with you to:
- Choose a topic, either of your choice or from our list of suggested topics relating to behavioral health, substance abuse, and more.
- Connect you with a speaker from our "bureau" of highly trained and knowledgeable Program Directors, School Principals, Therapists and Medical Staff.
- Help you and the speaker choose dates and times*, organize the presentation, and
provide support on the day of the event.
Natchaug Hospital experts are proud to share their knowledge with any interested school or organization free of charge.
For more information, call 860-465-5910 or e-mail sherry.smardon@hhchealth.org.
*Please notify us well in advance of your event so we can be as accommodating as possible.
