Our monthly planning meetings (second Thursday of the month) are where we do a lot of the "business" end of NCCA.

Join us for our next planning circle Oct. 10, 12:15-2 at Starry Night Terrace (Harmony and Timberline) to add your voice to our plans for the year.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE A THERAPEUTIC ISSUE.... AND WHAT TO DO AFTER THAT! Join us on October 2nd at 3pm MDT (bridge at 904-357-8707):
To further serve its members, the ICF is pleased to announce a members-only presentation on how to recognize therapeutic issues. This 90 minute presentation and question and answer session is a practical presentation on what language look for, what topics are generally recognized as belonging in the therapeutic realm, and how you can protect yourself from ethical violations and possible civil or criminal liability. Our panel (including NCCA's Pat Williams) is four MCC coaches who all have practiced as therapists. They are experts and will help you grow your ability to recognize therapeutic issues and make appropriate referrals.
