J.
Kevin Cameron, M.Sc., R.S.W.,
is a Diplomate with the
American Academy of Experts
in Traumatic Stress and
a Board Certified Expert
in Traumatic Stress. In
concert with the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, Behavioural
Sciences Unit, he developed
Canada's first comprehensive,
multidisciplinary threat
assessment training program
and currently serves on
the Canadian Threat Assessment
Training Board. He also
trains crisis response teams
nationally and internationally
and consults with schools
and communities impacted
by trauma.
Eight days after the tragic
school shooting at Columbine
High School, a fourteen-year-old
boy entered a school in
Taber, Alberta with hundreds
of rounds of ammunition
and opened fire in Canada's
first, high-profile school
shooting. Kevin led the
crisis response during that
incident, and shortly thereafter
was seconded by the Alberta
Government to a 13-month
initiative where he studied
traumatic aftermath from
a "human systems approach."
Through consultation with
several American sites that
had experienced school shootings,
and other trauma sites throughout
North America, Kevin developed
the Traumatic Event Systems
(TES) Model.
In March 2001, Kevin was
invited to Washington, D.C.
by the United States Secret
Service and the U.S. Department
of Education, where he presented
parts of the TES Model and
opened international collaborative
relations for the development
of threat assessment protocols
and related training.
Kevin was recently invited
to Washington, D.C. by the
U.S. Department of Education,
U.S. State Department and
the OECD, to participate
with members of the United
States Secret Service and
leaders from the September
11th New York City crisis
response efforts, in an
"International Meeting
on Helping Schools Prepare
for and Respond to Terrorist
Attacks."
He has years of clinical
experience, including working
in the Child Welfare and
Young Offender systems in
Canada, providing high-risk
assessment and intervention
with children, youth and
families. He is also Adjunct
Faculty with Loma Linda
University (Canadian Campus)
where he teaches "Crisis
Intervention Counselling"
in the graduate program.
