NATWC Annual Conference 2009 Presents Dr. Elizabeth Kohlstaedt

By Holly Hunter | February 24, 2009

NATWC Annual ConferenceDr. Elizabeth Kohlstaedt, Intermountain, Helena, Montana will be one of the key note speakers at this years’ NATWC Annual Conference in Jekyll Island. Dr. Kohlstaedt will bring her message of “When All You Have is a Hammer Everything Looks Like a Nail” to the opening session. Her interactive presentation is comprised of behavioral case studies which draw on the resources of the audience to discuss the proper diagnoses and method of treatment for individuals who would ordinarily be lumped into a generic category.

Variations on Dr. Kohlstaedt’s theme seem to be popping up in conversation, on blogs and even on television. A few weeks ago on an episode of TNT’s blockbuster series The Closer Lieutenant Brenda Lee Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) hears her boss tell her: “When you’re a hammer, everyone looks like a nail.” Wow! With a little twist here and there everyone’s saying it, but do they really get it? I guarantee after you hear Dr. Kohlstaedt fill in the gaps for this twenty-first century colloquialism not only will you get it, but you will be launched into the opportunity to have a much better relationship with the students in your programs and the families you serve.

Mark your calendar to hear Dr. Elizabeth Kohlstaedt, September 21st on Monday morning at the 15th Annual NATWC Conference.
