 James Harris, Rising Star Award winner

Anthony President, Linda Pope Award winner

  

Thank you for your attendance at the 25th OCWTP Trainer Conference.  It was our largest attendance in five years and a great conference.  We appreciate your dedication and support to the OCWTP.

  

 Are You Leaving Your Training Early?    

 

Please remember that workshops should begin and end at the times scheduled. Only under rare weather emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances can participants be let out earlier than scheduled and only after consultation with the Regional Training Center staff. Trainers are permitted to take shorter breaks and use the extra time to lengthen the lunch hour, but the training day cannot be shortened. If you have any questions, please talk to a Regional Training Center Director or IHS staff.

 


GAP Session for Trainers: How to Address Diversity Issues in Your Training
Originally scheduled for April 17, this GAP session has been postponed and is now rescheduled for Thursday, April 26, 2012, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. The session will focus on strategies trainers find useful for identifying, integrating, and addressing issues of diversity competently in their training, particularly as applied to their training topic.  Please register so that prior to the GAP we can send you pre-session materials: namely, the Trainer Resource Guide that provides a full range of suggested strategies.

PCIT Trainers Needed

If you are a therapist formally trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy and you  are interested in being certified in CARE, an "off shoot" of PCIT for caregivers, please contact Kelley Gruber at kgruber@ihs-trainet.com.  We would like to develop at least one CARE trainer who can offer the CARE model to caregivers statewide.  You must first be trained in PCIT before you can be trained in CARE.
