Continuing
Education now available through NASW and NCBTMB!
NASW:
The FHE was granted approval to provide continuing education credits in
January of 2006 by the National Association of Social Workers. All
participants in SE courses in the Beginning and Intermediate years are
eligible to receive 24 hours of continuing education contact hours.
Advanced courses grant 36 continuing education contact hours.
Participants are required to fill out a NASW evaluation for each class,
which is available at each course.
NCBTMB:
Just yesterday, the FHE was granted approval for continuing education for
SE courses. All participants in SE courses in the Beginning and
Intermediate years are eligible to receive 24 hours of continuing
education contact hours. Advanced courses grant 36 continuing education
contact hours.
FYI:
Continuing education organizations are no longer using the terminology
Continuing Education Units or CEU’s. The FHE is adopting the
recommendation that we refer to all continuing education offerings as
“x” number of continuing education contact hours.

The enrollment for participants heading to advanced in the US in 2007 is
so great, that we have decided to hold both an east coast and west coast
advanced I and II in 2007. The West coast Advanced will be held in California;
Advanced I in March and Advanced II in September. The East coast Advanced
will be held in New York;
Advanced I in late June or July and Advanced II in January 2008. We do
not yet have the exact dates or location, so please check the FHE website
for 2007 periodically to obtain information. We will post the information
as soon as it is available.
Please
note: The FHE may/may not plan east coast and west coast advanced
trainings yearly. This decision will be based on enrollment numbers,
instructor availability, participant needs, etc.
The FHE is
proud to announce that we will hold an advanced training in 2007 in Victoria, Canada. Advanced I will be
held in April, 2007 and Advanced II will be in October or November, 2007.
More details to follow.

TOP-Thailand Follow-up
Report
February 2006
TOP came back, as promised, to Khao Lak in southern Thailand to follow-up with
the tsunami survivors. We arrived in Phuket on 2-16-2006 to be met by
familiar faces from last year. Our translator from last year, Kwan, has
been an invaluable resource in this follow-up trip. With her boundless
energy and enthusiasm as well as her knowledge of the local community, we
relied on Kwan and two of her staff for logistics, transportation, and
translation. It was very important to use Thai people from the south as
we attempted to locate the tsunami survivors we worked with last year.
The southern dialect and in-depth familiarity with the local context helped
the success of our project. It also helped put much needed money into the
local economy. read more>>

Baton Rouge & New Orleans,
Louisiana
Dec. 9 - 17, 2005
Team 6
is the last team in the Phase 1 TOP-Katrina/Rita Project. In spite of the
wind-down of the project it has been a busy week. The kick-off to our
week was a large workshop on 12/10/05 for approximately 80 teachers and
administrators at St. Mary’s Dominican High school.
The positive relationships formed that day have led to a request for TOP
to send a small team back to Dominican
High School in
January for 5 days to help them prepare for the re-opening of their
school on 1/17/06 (it closed only 6 days after the beginning of the
school year). TOP would provide workshops to teachers and administrators,
as well as to the students’ families. Individual sessions have also
been requested. read more >>
