There is a lot of great information in this document (high fidelity article) regarding the certification/accreditation requirements, in light of the updates/revisions to the parenting programs over the past three years. Highlights include: new timeline for accepting paperwork from the previous versions of the programs, rationale for longer number of sessions, research information about dosage while implementing EBP and the impact on outcomes. Let us know your questions.

We are excited that also many of you are coming to Seattle in September! Our 10th mentor meeting anniversary!

Meeting Dates and Hotel

You should have received an email from Lisa regarding the arrangements at the hotel – but here is the information again:

Meeting dates: 8 & 9 September 2011
Location: Seattle, WA
The Alexis Hotel, downtown near the waterfront

Details

1. We will have a registration fee same as Vancouver - $225. This is the registration for the meeting itself, and will include dinner on Friday night (minus alcohol).

2. We have a reserved block of rooms at the Alexis Hotel - the singles are $165 each and there are a limited number of doubles for $185 for those who would like to share.

You will need to book your rooms earlier than June 24th (a Friday) to get the room rate. They are offering this rate to our participants for the three days prior to the workshop and also for three days afterward, should you like to extend your stay here. (Overnight parking at the hotel is $36... everything is in walking distance and/or you can share cabs.)

If you are not able to secure your room at the Alexis by the deadline, getting a room there will depend on whether they have sold their remaining rooms to other parties. Also, they will not guarantee the lower rate after the deadline either, as I understand this. So all in all, it's better to get your room reserved ASAP!

You can reserve directly by phoning 1-206-516-5097 or 1-800-546-7866. You must request the Incredible Years room block to ensure we are credited with filling the rooms with our participants, and for you to get the lower rate.

Best, Carolyn
