Update on Upcoming Speeches
In the last couple of weeks, I have been contacted several times for future presentations and speeches on my book about schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I have been giving many speeches over the last four years or so, enough that I'm finally comfortable speaking in front of an audience, but I'm a little hesitant to take on some of these. It is as I wrote before, a matter of pacing.
At the moment, I'm committed to several speeches in the next month or so. They are to the following groups: the freshman psychology seminar class at the University of Minnesota that is using my book as their text, the second year medical students at the University of Minnesota, the pastor care class at Luther Seminary, one (likely two) National Alliance of the Mentally Ill (NAMI) Family-to-Family classes, and a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for the Hennepin Country Sheriffs Department. I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.
There are more that I was offered but had to turn down, as I don't think it wise to take on any more than this for the moment. I would really like to speak more, for I find it really enjoyable, but it is quite wearing on me. I wish it weren't.
