TRAINING OPPORTUNITY: Mental Health First Aid Training at 2021 Summer NAMM

As many of us return to work, we do so with a measure of uncertainty, and in some cases a great level of concern. Rarely has mental health been more in the forefront for our workforce. Looking out for yourself & those around you is now possibly your most important skill. Our return to the industry will be filled with new & old emotions that need to be reconciled, which is why we are bringing Behind the Scenes’ Mental Health First Aid Training to Summer NAMM.

The Behind the Scenes charity is offering in-person Mental Health First Aid Training with a focus on live events professionals on July 14th in Nashville, in cooperation with the Event Safety Alliance, Show Makers, & NAMM. Upon completion, attendees will receive a certification valid for three years conferred by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

**Classroom size is limited, please register early**

EVENT SAFETY PODCAST: Health Safety & the Law

Can you require your employees to be vaccinated? Can you ask your guests to show proof of vaccination before entry? Can you legally eject patrons for disregarding your event’s mask mandate? And what the heck does HIPAA stand for, anyway?! In this episode of the Event Safety Podcast, Steve Adelman puts on his attorney cap and provides a legal perspective on these and other timely COVID-related “controversies” currently facing event operators.
