Joined advisory board of International Trauma Treatment Program

March 5th, 2008  |  Published in Announcements

I’m now on the advisory board for ITTP and am truly humbled by the company I’m in. ITTP trains practitioners to treat complex trauma inflicted by torture, war, and natural disasters. The goal of the International Trauma Treatment Program is to undermine the use of torture through establishing an international network of practitioners who fight torture by transforming torture victims into survivors.

From the website:

“Practitioners from war zones who participate in our program become prepared to treat, and to train other practitioners to treat, trauma survivors in their home countries. We thereby seek to leverage our resources by creating a snowball effect that greatly increases the number of practitioners worldwide that fight torture.”

Handling the web technology for this group and consulting on tech issues with the many great people associated with it puts me pretty far off from the experiences that others on the advisory board have, as I sit safely behind a computer screen here in London. Other advisory board members, many of them practicioners themselves, are working in medical facilities, refugee camps and trauma treatment centers in Zimbabwe, the occupied Palestinian territories, Sri Lanka, Uganda and other places where people face first hand the human capacity for brutality and also for assistance in healing.

Welcome to the CV site

March 3rd, 2008  |  Published in Big Ideas

Welcome to my CV site. Suffice to say, if you’re looking at this site around the time I’m writing this post, there’s not much here that’s of use. I’m not promising that there will be much here of use to you later, either, but hopefully there will be something here sooner or later that will be of interest.  My more-updated site can be found here.

I created this website to accomplish a couple of things: To be a place to maintain an updated resumé and advertise projects in need of people out there with specialized skills.

Over the course of the next few days I’m planning to populate this site projects past, present and future, turn it into a portal for collaborative opportunities.
