PRESENTATION: In 2006, NH was approved by IC&RC to offer Prevention Certification. Since this time, many have been certified throughout the state and interest regarding this credential has brought up some questions. Is this the right certification for me? What experience and training do I need? How do I complete the application? This workshop is designed to address these questions, as well as to disseminate current applications and instructions. Facilitated by a member of the New Hampshire Prevention Certification Board and Prevention Certification Review Committee, this presentation will provide a complete overview of the certification process, as well as provide insight into the Board as an agency, the professionals involved in the process, and how to submit a successful application.
