Most Changeways workshops are hosted by specific
agencies, health boards, professional associations, or community organizations
in the region where they are held. These agencies help out in several ways:
- They either purchase a workshop in its entirety, or
they contract for a block of seats.
- Often they book or provide presentation space and
break catering.
- They may provide spaces in the program to their own
members or staff, or they may resell seats to others in the region.
- They may help to distribute information about the
program to others in the region.
- In many (but not all) cases they handle
registrations.
- Some agencies operate workshops as fundraisers for
their organization.
If you are interested in hosting a workshop in your
region, download our document "Sponsoring Changeways Workshops" by clicking
here. Then
contact us and let us know which workshop you are
considering and when. It is generally best to have several dates in mind. Most
workshops are scheduled at least two months in advance, and often much further
ahead.
Other pages in this section of the website outline the
training programs that Changeways Clinic has developed. Some of these programs
are offered regularly in the Vancouver area. Workshops outside Vancouver
workshops are generally sponsored by other organizations.
Changeways has presented workshops across Canada, as
well as in Australia and Hong Kong. Distance is not a barrier, and we welcome
international requests.
Our goal is to provide you with an effective, engaging
presentation that produces genuine advances in practice for attendees, and to
do so with maximum efficiency and ease for organizers. We have over 15 years of
experience in providing professional continuing education programs. We can work
with you to create a successful program that meets your needs.
Adding
your name to our interest lists
Changeways keeps a series of "Interest Lists" for
different workshops and regions. We use these in two ways:
- The level of expressed interest helps determine where
and when we hold our workshops.
- We use the interest list as a partial mailing list
for registration forms once a workshop is scheduled.
If you would like to see a certain workshop in your
area, or if you want to ensure that you receive an announcement, please add
your name to our interest list. Here's how:
Contact us, give us your
name, agency, and phone number. Let us know which workshop(s) you would like to
see in your area. If you know about the level of interest among other staff of
your agency or the staff of other agencies, please tell us. When a workshop is
scheduled, you will receive an email notification from us. Note that most
workshops have a local agency sponsor, so also consider discussing the
possibilities with your local training coordinator or Continuing Education
officer.
