Proposals
in response to the PCPA Call for Presentations for 2006 conference workshops
are due no later than Monday, March 6, at 5:00 p.m.
The 2006 conference theme is Embracing Change. The association conference offers diverse educational tracks within the structure of the weeklong event. Proposal submissions are needed in every area. Tracks include
- adult mental health,
- adult and children’s drug and alcohol services,
- mental retardation,
- children’s services,
- financial management,
- agency and business operations, and
- an "Achieving Balance" track addressing personal growth such as stress reduction/management, relaxation therapies and techniques, non-traditional therapeutic adjunctive therapies/interventions, and maintaining balance between work and home.
Presentations are encouraged which assist community-based providers in developing and maintaining stable, quality treatments, services, and agencies in a field where change is constant. The committee will focus on presentations which:
- highlight new policy and treatment initiatives in mental health, mental retardation, drug and alcohol, and children’s services;
- address system changes that affect business practices of community-based providers; and
- offer skills and tools to operate more efficient and effective agencies.
Electronic submission of proposals is preferred by the planning committee. A PDF copy of the proposal outline is available from this link. Interested persons who would like a Microsoft Word version of the outline for easier submission should contact Kris Ericson, technical and conference services coordinator. Questions regarding content or logistics may also be directed to her.
