All conferences have key note speakers, a variety of presentations, and even good food J, but what makes the TCOM Conference stand out and why should YOU attend again next year? To begin to answer this question, let’s take a look at this year’s conference!
Our conference attendees came from 31 states/provinces in the United States and Canada. For 306 members of the TCOM Collaborative, San Antonio was home from October 4-6, 2017. From clinicians and psychologists to administrators and program directors, all had the opportunity to listen and engage in a variety of presentations, network with colleagues and friends, and enjoy what the city has to offer. Most notable about this year was the extent of collaboration happening between individuals of various agencies. We had joint sessions and panel discussions that shined a light to various TCOM Implementations and how the theory of Communimetrics is being applied and practiced. These sessions included a collaboration between Casey Family Programs and Northern Rivers and a panel presentation with individuals from Seneca Family of Agencies, Magellan Healthcare, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and IU School of Social Work. We also held an evening meeting for the Family Focused Treatment Association (FFTA).
Our 66 different presentations began with a record number of attendees for our pre-conference session on Guerilla Reporting and ended with the C12 Certified Trainer Wrap-Up. If you missed any of the presentations offered or were not able to attend, we will be re-posting the conference program with links to the slides. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks for an update to this blog post with all presentations attached!
