We are going to hold "ACT Boot Camp" in Reno this January 12 - 15.
The first ACT Boot Camp was a complete success!
Thank you to all 161 of you who attended.
We are going to hold "ACT Boot Camp" in Reno this January 12 - 15.
The plan is this.
A two day experiential workshop will be held Thursday and Friday January 12-13 and Saturday and Sunday will focus on skills training.
There will be evening presentations each day -- talks on the model, data, sessions on reading ACT processes, and similar things.
Other than expenses and an honorium for two presenters, all income will go to support the lab in Reno.
For the individuals who want to know about level. It's a question that's tough to answer because categories like "introductory" or "intermediate" capture so little of the variance
and the topics keep changing and evolving so what is in a beginning workshop now is often not what was there a few years ago.
Let's just say it this way:
There are things in here that will benefit people of all skills levels, but it is not deliberately cast at an intermediate or advanced level. We set it up with beginners and intermediates particularly in mind.
Continuing Education credits:
We will be issuing CEUs for this event.
They will be issued through the Association for Cognitive Behavioral Science (ACBS), so APA-approved!
The credits will be for:
• Psychologists
• MFT
• Social Workers
We can get MFT and SW CEUs in California through ACBS, however, people will then have to get them recognized in their particular state.

Schedule:
Start at 8:00am all days.
End at 9:00pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
End at 4:30pm on Sunday.
Payment Method:
*********************
While this PayPal button will happily take your money
regardless, you have to take an additional step to
make sure we know who you are so we can match the
money to your actual registration.
Send an email to:
ACT.in.Context@gmail.com
with your name, contact information, and level of registration.
Make sure the name you use there and the one you then use in checking out
with PayPal (your credit card, etc.) are the same or tell us how to match the
names if they differ (e.g., "I used Geraldine Fickwat's credit card but that is
my sister. My name for registration is ..." or "I used my corporate card for registration
in the name of the 'ACT Center for All Things Wonderful' but actually my
name is John Jones and my contact information is ...
It's a kludge solution, we realize. We are working on a real one,
but in the meantime help us out.
And it would be wise to save your PayPal receipt in case of problems.

Hotel:
ACT Boot Camp will be held at the Silver Legacy hotel in Reno.
We have a block of 60 rooms but more are available. However the deadline to reserve a room is very short: 1 week.
The rooms are super nice and are $49 Wed and Thursday night and $69 Friday and Saturday. Technically, after 2 people are in the room rates go up by $10 per person per room. Max 4 / room.
***Click Here*** to make your hotel reservation online using group code ACT12.
OR...
Call Silver Legacy at 1-800-687-8733 and give the group code ACT12. Reservations received after December 21, 2011 will only be accepted on a space and rate availability basis. Now in fact this is a slow period so that would likely still work but don’t risk it. You can stay elsewhere if you like but this will be convenient to the meeting and it is a good deal. And getting 60 rooms filled is how we got the meeting room.
