Conference Goals and Objectives
The goal of the 27th Annual Research and Treatment Conference is to advance contemporary knowledge and skills for professionals providing services in the field of sexual abuse by increasing the awareness of current and relevant research, and exploring the implications for its use in clinical intervention. Within the context of interdisciplinary approaches, the sessions will assist in identifying the challenges, proactive intervention techniques and the implementation of solutions to advance the scope of future sex offender work.

Continuing Education Credits
Continuing Education is being coordinated and sponsored by New England Forensic Associates (NEFA). A $50.00 administrative processing fee, payable at time of registration, for psychology, social worker and certified counselor CE’s is being assessed by NEFA. The assessed fee will be $60.00 if registering for CE’s at the conference.

Participants who are attending either the 12-hour Adolescent or Adult Track and have signed up for Continuing Education Credits must also attend all six (6) Plenary sessions in order to receive the total 18 Continuing Education Credits. No partial credits will be given and only one certificate will be issued for the total number of 18 credits. No credit will be given for partial attendance at the conference. Poster Sessions do not qualify for CE credit.

Psychologists
This program is cosponsored by New England Forensic Associates (NEFA) and the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA). NEFA is approved by the American Psychological Association to offer Continuing Education Credits for psychologists. NEFA maintains responsibility for the program. Attendance at the Pre-Conference Seminars earns 6 CE credits for a full-day session; 3 CE credits for a half-day session. Attendance at the 2½ day conference earns 12 credits.

Certified Counselors
NEFA (Provider #5626) is approved by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) to offer Continuing Education training and will adhere to the NBCC Continuing Education guidelines. Attendance at Pre-Conference Seminars earns 6 CE Credits for a full-day session and 3 CE credits for a half-day session. Attendance at the 2½ day conference earns 12 credits.

LCSW’s and MFCC’s
NEFA is an approved provider for The California Board of Behavioral Sciences (Provider #PCE 48) to offer Continuing Education Credits for Social Workers and Marriage and Family Counselors. Attendance at Pre-Conference Seminars earns 6 CE credits for a full-day session, 3 CE credits for a half-day session. Attendance at the 2½ day conference earns 12 credits.

Application, for a maximum of 18 credits, is also being made to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) for CE credits for states who do not recognize California’s certification as listed above. Because of special requirements by the Ohio Social Worker Organization, NEFA cannot offer CE credits for Ohio Social Workers.

All other Social Workers should check with their state board to determine if accreditation from NASW is accepted in your state. If not, please contact NEFA and they will make every effort to fulfill the requirements in order to get approval. NEFA is not responsible if you do not receive credits because they were not notified of the problem.
