Scholarships for Training in MET/CBT5

The T-ACT project is sponsoring scholarships for providers interested in learning the MET/CBT5, an evidence-based method providing combinations of motivational enhancement therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in 5 sessions to adolescents. Here is Nancy's email:
Everyone,

The T-ACT project, through funding from SAMHSA, is providing free training in evidence-based practices to providers of adolescent substance abuse services.

The T-ACT project has scheduled 2.5 days of MET/CBT5 training on June 4-6, 2007 in Nashville, TN. MET/CBT5 corresponds to two individual sessions of Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) combined with three group sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

The T-ACT project will be awarding 30 scholarships to attend this training. In addition, we will be awarding scholarships for MET/CBT5 certification and to become local Tennessee MET/CBT5 trainers.

If you are interested in participating in the MET/CBT5 training, please click on this link (or copy this link to your browser: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=378033844994) and fill out a brief ten item application. The survey must be completed electronically and returned by 5 PM on Wednesday, May 23, 2007. Also forward this survey to others who may be interested. We would like statewide representation. Travel awards are not available for this training.

Thanks all!

Nancy
