Continuing education opportunity in Wisconsin

Wisconsin's Plain People: Introduction to Amish Culture

Presented by Deborah Morse-Kahn, M.A., Regional Research Associates.

Today's Amish peoples in Wisconsin continue to preserve their religious life-style despite persistent pressures from those outside their communities. As many contemporary people spin their lives on nanoseconds, Amish communities work to keep a delicate balance in time that sustains their lifestyle. Deborah Morse-Kahn is a specialist in American ethnic and religious communities. Her work increases understanding among non-Amish people of the culture of the Upper Midwest Amish and other plain peoples.

Who Should Attend? Healthcare providers, social service providers, business people, law enforcement, veterinarians, government agencies and others may benefit from this program.

Join us to begin to learn about the culture of Wisconsin's Plain People and the challenges of providing health care for them.
