Corporate Bits | MGM sponsors crisis intervention lecture

Following the sponsorship that allowed Caritas de Macau staff to participate in a disaster management training program in Nepal last year, MGM has sponsored and supported the “Certificate Course on Critical Incident Stress Management – Group Crisis Intervention,” a program organized by the Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office.

Through this sponsorship, MGM hopes to enhance the local social service sector in dealing with trauma after a crisis, and strengthen the community’s preparedness to respond effectively to a disaster.

The training course provided information on effective crisis intervention and post-disaster and stress management to the social workers and counselors, as well as MGM team members, according to a statement provided by the gaming operator.

Bonnie Chang, service coordinator of Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office, said, “MGM has subsidized our office’s purchase of […] equipment and has also funded this training course to allow professionals in Macau to equip themselves for first responses.”
