After 10 years of producing two calendars a year, we have made the decision to produce an annual calendar.Through your feedback we have learned that you prefer to see the scope of courses and special events that we have scheduled over the span of a year rather than over a four- to six-month period. We have also learned that more and more of you use our Web site to check out our current offerings and upcoming events. We will continue to send out brochures describing our certificate programs and special events, but will update our Web site more frequently to keep you informed. As you read through the calendar, I hope that you will find courses, special events, or certificate programs that meet your current needs for skill development or career enhancement. In each calendar we try to provide a balance between courses that are offered on a regular basis and courses and programs that attempt to meet new and emerging issues in the fields of human services and criminal justice. We are also continually updating existing courses and certificate programs in response to input and feedback that we receive from our instructors and students. We have just completed the redevelopment of the Critical Incident Stress Management Certificate Program.A detailed description of the revised program can be found on page xx.
