Strategies to accommodate and compensate for memory, social skills, problem-solving and comprehension will be covered. The importance of psycho education about TBI and its functional implications, including substance use and the injured brain, and adjustment to the acquired disability will be discussed.

general information

Fees

Registration fees listed are per person when offered at the Council's office sites (minimum of six participants). The maximum number of participants will be based on training format.

Any of our training offerings could be scheduled at your site. Typical on-site training fees are $80.00 per hour plus the cost of materials. This fee may be adjusted due to several factors (e.g., number of participants, contractual arrangements, out of county training). Please note: OASAS approved training, cost and number of participants, for CASAC hours at your site are negotiated case by case.

Attendance

Attendance from start to finish of each training is mandatory in order to receive a certificate of completion.

Breaks and Refreshments

A break time of 15 minutes per 3 hours of training and a one-hour lunch per 6 hours of training will be provided at the discretion of the trainer. Provisions for food and beverages will vary.

Financial Policy

Registration fee can be mailed to either CASAC location or paid electronically through Paypal. Checks may be made payable to "Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council." Certificates will not be issued to any participant who is not paid in full at the completion of the training.

Fees for registration, training, kits, and manuals are non-refundable after registration deadlines.
