On 11 April 2024, we had the privilege of hosting our first IMPACT event of the year, presented in partnership with The ABC International School and RMIT University Vietnam. Held at The ABC International School’s Nha Be campus, the event attracted 75 dedicated professionals from the education and wellbeing sectors, underscoring the growing commitment to enhancing crisis management capabilities within schools and universities. The event unfolded with engaging and insightful sessions:

• Session 1: Rob Wilson from ISHCMC-American Academy led a thought-provoking discussion on “Handling Serious Safeguarding Incidents Through Home – School Collaboration,” shedding light on the vital role of partnership in ensuring student safety.
• Session 2: Our panel discussion featured a diverse group of experts, including Jacob Humes (Saigon South International School), Christina Zinetti (Australian International School), Luke Curran (RMIT University Vietnam), and Stephen Ford (The ABC International School). They offered valuable perspectives on crisis management, sharing their experiences and strategies.

The afternoon was rounded off with a networking session, where attendees had the opportunity to connect, share ideas, and build collaborative relationships over refreshments.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our speakers and participants for their contributions and engagement. Your dedication to improving crisis intervention practices is truly inspiring!

We look forward to future events and continued collaboration in our shared mission to support and enhance crisis management in educational settings. Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to engage!
