Continuing Education: Complimentary Social Work CEUs are available for workshops that meet the ND Board of Social Work Examiners criteria for continuing education. All workshops offer Minot State University CEUs based on the number of contact hours. The recording fee for MSU CEUs is $20.00.
Hotel Reservations: Some hotel room blocks are held only until one month prior to the event. At that time, rooms are released to the general public and the hotel may not honor the state rate or hold a room for participants in MSU scheduled events. Please make your reservations early and ask for the MSU room block. In most cases, the name of the workshop will help the reservation clerk find the appropriate room block.

What do we really mean by commonly used phrases such as "best practice" and "quality supports"? What do these mean when we consider people with disabilities and those who do the important work of supporting them? Through real experiences, stories, (and a couple of songs), this presentation examines 10 important ingredients of excellent direct support, taking a good look at how we can measure when we are at our best, and helping to remind us what matters most about our work.
CEUs: This workshop qualifies for 5.5 ND Social Work contact hours (no charge) and 5.5 ND Board of Nursing contact hours (no charge). MSU CEUs are pending approval ($20 recording fee).
*The workshop sites are barrier free. Please note on the registration form if any special accommodations are needed.
