Call for Presenters - 2009 CAASP Retreat

The 2009 CAASP Retreat has been scheduled for the 2nd to 4th of September, and will once again take place at the beautiful all-inclusive Kempenfelt Conference Resort in Barrie, Ontario.

We are currently seeking proposals for Presenters for the 2009 Retreat in the following areas:

• Best Practices in Anger Solutions(TM)
• Innovation and Creativity in Service Delivery
• Business Development and Growth/Social Enterprise
  
• Personal/Professional Development
  
• Research
• Branding, Marketing, and Sales

The audience will be comprised of counsellors, addiction workers, mental health workers, social workers both in private practice and working for an agency, coaches, and students.

Our theme for the 2009 is "Building a Dream" ~ as Anger Solutions moves into other provinces across Canada, and internationally, the focus for 2009 is on creating sustainability for the program and its providers while maintaining the program's integrity. Authorized Anger Solutions Providers are working together to compile data on the success of their respective programs so that together we can see Anger Solutions universally recognized as an evidence-based practice. Moving forward from last year's theme of "Igniting Passion", we are looking toward working together to build a network that is solid in both its structure and its ease of communication regardless of geographical location.

To that end, we will give preference to submissions that achieve the following:

• are specific to the Anger Solutions program (especially in the area of research, best practices, and creativity and innovation)
• provide practical tools and strategies for private practitioners to build, expand, and/or effectively brand their services
• demonstrate viable ways for Authorized Anger Solutions Providers and/or the CAASP to participate in Social Enterprise projects
• addresses new research or emerging literature about trends in anger management services and/or presents recent findings about the success of Anger Solutions programs within specific settings
• engage the attendees in developing strategies to refresh, relax, and rejuvenate while at the retreat.
