Continuing Education for Psychologists at ICISF-Sponsored Conferences
The International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc. (ICISF) is approved by the American Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. ICISF maintains responsibility for the program. CE credit for psychologists is granted on a one credit per one contact hour basis (refer to course descriptions for Contact Hours & CE Credits). If applying for CE Credits for Psychologists, please request a CE Credit Application upon arrival at the conference. Psychologists are required to verify attendance as instructed at the conference and to complete an evaluation form for each course attended. Please note that full attendance is required in order to receive documentation of CE Credits. CE Credit Application Packets are to be mailed to ICISF post-conference along with the application fee of $18.00. Complete instructions will be provided upon request at the Conference.

Continuing Education for Employee Assistance Professionals at ICISF-Sponsored Conferences
Professional Development Hours (PDHs) are available for Employee Assistance Professionals for most courses offered at ICISF-sponsored conferences. The number of approved PDHs depends on the course selected, and is equal to the number of contact (instructional) hours for that course. Upon arrival at the conference, please request a Training Attendance Record form and instructions at the conference registration desk; EACC Approval Numbers, content areas and approved number of PDHs for each course will be included in this material. According to the EACC/Certification Department, the CEAP/candidate retains the Training Attendance Record (white copy) for later use in his/her re-certification/application process. For more information about this process, contact EACC/Certification Department via phone at (703) 522-6272, email at eapcertman@aol.com or visit their web site at www.eap-association.com.

Continuing Education for California Resident MFTs & LCSWs
Most courses offered at ICISF-sponsored conferences meet the qualifications for 7, 13 or 14 hours (depending on the course attended) of continuing education credit for MFTs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (CA BBS). Provider Approval No. PCE 2033. California resident MFTs and LCSWs must request an MFT/LCSW CE Hour Application and instructions at the conference registration desk upon arrival at the conference, or from the ICISF office post-conference.

Non-California MFTs and LCSWs: it is possible that your state licensing board will recognize CE Hours from the CA BBS; please check with your licensing board to determine this.

Continuing Education for Nurses
Contact Hours in Nursing are provided by the University of Maryland School of Nursing. The University of Maryland School of Nursing is accredited as a provider of continuing education in nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
