The UNH Speakers Bureau is pleased to announce the addition of several new speakers and presentation to their roster of resources available to non-profit organizations. The UNH Speakers Bureau connects organizations with the resources of the state’s flagship university through speaking engagements with our faculty and staff. Speakers are provided at no-charge to non-profit organizations in New Hampshire.
 
New topics include:

Reforming Mental Health Via Hollywood: "The Snake Pit" (1948) and Its Audiences: What shapes the public’s view of mental illness? How can the mass media create social reform? Answers to these questions can be seen in a study of the 1948 Hollywood film The Snake Pit. Based on an autobiographical novel by the same name, Snake Pit told of a woman’s nervous breakdown and recovery at an understaffed, overcrowded hospital in upstate New York.

The Leadership Classroom: This program guides participants through an exploration of leadership principles and practices, and an examination of their own personal leadership strengths and improvement opportunities. Participants return to their organizations with enhanced leadership skills and awareness, and better prepared to lead their organizations to success.

Differential Treatment of Adolescent Siblings: Siblings often experience their family environment in quite different ways. Differential treatment by parents is one explanation why children from the same family often are as different from each other as they are from unrelated children.

Duct Tape Velcro and Beyond: This hands-on interactive presentation discusses and demonstrates creative uses of existing materials to solve everyday challenges for individuals who experience physical sensory or cognitive limitations.
