The University Counseling Center at Southeastern Louisiana University will sponsor the fourth annual Terrell Conference for mental health practitioners Sept.10, in the university’s Grand Ballroom, located in the Student Union.
Assistant Director of Collegiate Recovery and Intervention and Conference Chair Annette Baldwin said the conference would include a special memorial service for Tom Terrell, the former director of the UCC and the conference namesake, who passed away Sept. 15, 2020. The ceremony is scheduled at 5 p.m. Friday evening in the Student Union, room 2207.
A special memory vase will be available as a tribute to Terrell, for family, friends and colleagues to share a fond or favorite memory in writing. The vase will be presented to Terrell’s family at the conclusion of the ceremony, which will be followed by a “Celebration Hour” at Jacmel Inn, located at 903 E. Morris Ave. in Hammond.
The conference will include a full day of continuing education for counseling and other mental health professionals in the areas of ethics and diagnosis, as well as an expo and lunch networking opportunities.
