Six Flags New England is getting into the holiday spirit early this year with their annual Christmas in July celebration. Even though the holidays are five months away, Six Flags New England will be decking the halls with some of their own holiday cheer.

On Sunday, July 24, guests are invited to bring a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to Dare Family Services of Springfield and Hartford. The organization will distribute the toys to local children in the foster care system. Guests who donate toys will receive a coupon for $20.16 off the Main Gate admission price.

Guests can also purchase candy canes off the prize tree to receive a special gift of their own. Each pick costs $1, and all proceeds will benefit Dare Family Services.

After they leave their presents under the tree, guests will be invited to visit Santa Claus as he spends his summer vacation at the park and will be wearing board shorts and his summer attire prior to the chilly temperatures. He will also be checking in with kids to see if they have been naughty or nice.

Agawam: Continuing Education Conference: Reasoning with Unreasonable People

Reasoning with Unreasonable People: Focus on Disorders of Emotional Regulation

Presenter: Joseph W. Shannon, PhD

Difficult conversations are inevitable in the helping professions. Telling a patient something they don’t want to hear; confronting a colleague who has let you or a patient down; saying “no” to a patient or family member’s request; handling a complaint; giving an unwelcome instruction or suggestion to a patient, colleague or supervisee; and saying “no” to a supervisor’s unreasonable expectations are but a few of the challenging situations that may confront the healthcare professional on a regular basis. Complicating any of these situations further is our own formidable resistance to engaging the other person. We want to protect ourselves from attack, or at least from embarrassment. We may not have a great track record for handling interpersonal conflict we procrastinate because of anxiety, fear, fatigue and a host of other reasons, and we worry about making the situation worse if the conversation were to go terribly wrong, e.eg. retaliation from the other person.

Joseph W. Shannon, PhD, has over forty years clinical, counseling, and training experience, thirty years of consultative and supervisory experience as a private practice psychologist and organizational consultant, and twelve years of administrative and supervisory experience as clinical director of a university counseling and placement agency and an AIDS service organization. He lives and practices in Columbus, Ohio.
