DSM-5 Training

Dear clinicians and clinicians-in-training,

Florida Atlantic University’s Department of Counselor Education and the Beta Rho Chi chapter of Chi Sigma Iota would like to invite you to attend a day-long seminar on the new DSM-5 at Florida Atlantic University. By the end of this training, clinicians will gain competency in their ability to apply the DSM-5 to their clinical practice and will understand the various changes which have occurred as a result of this recent revision to our diagnostic manual. A leader in the field, Dr. Paul Peluso, (chair of the American Counseling Association’s DSM-5 task force) will be presenting on DSM-5 revisions as they relate to general clinical practice and individual disorders. The workshop will take place on Friday, October 25, 2013 from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. Registration will begin at 8:30 am and six CEUs will be provided. The event is being held in the College of Business, room 120.  

Both members of the community and students are encouraged to take advantage of this very unique opportunity to learn about these interesting changes in our field. This CEU workshop is being offered for a reduced fee of only $59.95, and Beta Rho Chi members will be given a ten dollar discount. Interested parties should RSVP by filling out the attached registration form and sending it to Darlene Epperson at Frederic@fau.edu. Please note that registration forms are due by Thursday, October 10^th, 2013 and  credit cards and checks will be accepted. A flyer with the workshop schedule and registration form is attached. We look forward to seeing you in October.

Sincerely,

The Department of Counselor Education and the Beta Rho Chi Chapter of Chi Sigma Iota.
