Differentiation of Self
Kathleen B. Kerr, MSN, MA
9:30-3:30
Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church
3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Separating a self from the highly influential family system takes work. The ability to see the interdependence in others and oneself is key. “Seeing” the system and giving up individual thinking provides a neutral, objective blueprint to move toward changing one’s predictable behavior. People who have engaged in this process of differentiation of self will describe their efforts.

Natural Hazards and Possible Connection to Climate Change
Dr. Menas Kafatos, Astrophysicist, Professor of Interdisciplinary Science, George Mason University
7:30 PM
Georgetown Family Center
Natural hazards pose substantial threats to all countries, but particularly to poor countries. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, for example, showed how vulnerable poor countries and populations can be as disaster strikes. Yet in 2005, Hurricane Katrina showed that even a modernized country like the United States can be substantially unprepared for major damage. This talk will examine several natural hazards that become disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, dust storms, fires, and floods. The possible link between natural hazards and global climate change will also be discussed.
