Happy New Year!

We welcome the new year with excitement and hope (and snow!). We know we are in store for changes—both big and little. The local treatment world will take some twists and turns, and hopefully the field will triumph with its commitment to serve. Clients need highly trained counselors more than ever.

Daystar will continue to offer the basic courses and develop new workshops to meet the growing demands of the field. However, when workshops consistently have low numbers and/or they get cancelled, we have to ask the question,  should we offer this? At this point, only the required core classes are offered five or more times per year. Most other workshops are offered three or fewer times a year, commonly spaced equal intervals. Some may be reduced to one, or eliminated, if we don’t get adequate enrollment. So please enroll at least two weeks ahead of time.  If there is a way information about Daystar workshops could be delivered more effectively to assure early registration , PLEASE  let me know.

On the drawing board: Addiction and Criminality;
Co-occurring  Disorders  One day workshops focused on: Mental Status Exam, Assessment  and screening; Medications; Anxiety, Mood, Personality and Psychotic Disorders. Each class is stand alone, and for those who take all—a certificate of  completion for “Co-Occurring Disorders: Special Focus.”
