Convention Program
The focus of the program this year is on the best practices (BP) of psychology. The 2010 Convention Committee chose this as the theme in an effort to highlight innovative conceptualization and application of research-supported strategies. The programming is designed to update and challenge psychologists and other mental health professionals in order to promote the best practices of our field. There are over 80 hours of CE credits offered over the Thursday, Friday & Saturday Convention. The Convention Committee hopes that the programming exposes you to new strategies, encourages you to consider new ways of thinking, and leads you to implement the best practices in your work. Enjoy the Convention!
