[ASIST_Network] CE credits from NASW

[gary mcconahay]

Thanks for the update, Donna.

I found that the NASW CEUs do attract some Participants ,and it is a great and welcomed treat to those who need CEUs but did not realize they were being offered (like when I train institutional staff). Mostly I work with local SP coalitions (Jackson and Josephine counties) or groups/agencies, so I don't do the public advertising very much, but when I did I went out of my way to get these certifications [BIG THANKS for taking that time and expense off of us!]. The CEUs are part of our local coalition advertising.

I have not checked the NASW website for listings.

I encourage Trainers to post their open ASIST trainings on the LivingWorks website. It only takes a few minutes and I have received several contacts that way. I also refer to ASIST workshops that I see listed on the YSP listserv.

Dear ASIST Trainers,
I wanted to let you know that I sent the Oregon NASW ASIST training rosters and evaluations to the Oregon chapter of NASW today. I've received forms from 16 trainings, with 141 recipients requesting NASW credits from August through January. That's pretty darn good, I think!

How are the credits working for you - both the NASW credits and the DPSST? Do they help attract participants to your trainings? What works well for your getting the word out?

I have submitted the trainings to Oregon NASW every quarter (as instructed) for inclusion on their website, but they never are. I've asked about it and been told "we'll get them right up," but still they aren't listed online. If you have had success getting other trainings listed on the Oregon NASW website, how?

If anyone has yet to be approved to offer the CE credits, please get a brief bio to me and I'll get you approved. The current list of approved trainers is attached. If you know trainers who aren't on the list, let them know - maybe they aren't on this list either.

Thank you for sending in your forms. The vast majority of evaluations are excellent (as you know). Take care.
Donna
