MAP Training Program General Questions
1.) Who can Sign Up for a Map Training?
EBTDC trainings are only open to staff at OMH-licensed, public, child-serving agencies/programs in New York State
2.) My cases are complicated, can I still use MAP?
Yes. MAP is a tool that can be used for a wide variety of cases, both simple and complex. The main purpose of using MAP is to improve clinician-client interactions by implementing evidence-based treatment into practices. By utilizing MAP in your practice, you will be able to better track client progress and provide better services for any case you may have
3.) My clients are only adults; can I still come to the training?
No. The MAP Training Program focuses on providing training to those who have child and/or adolescent caseloads. We do not recommend those who only have adult clients (18+ years) to participate in training, as it will not be useful or practical for the clinician
4.) I am a clinical director/supervisor and I don’t have a caseload. Can I still apply for the training?
Yes, directors and supervisors with no caseload can apply for training if they are attending with clinicians to supervise. However, if you have no caseload and will be attending alone, it is suggested you wait until a future round when you can attend with clinicians to supervise
5.) Does a clinical director/supervisor need to participate in training?
No. Clinicians may apply to attend training without a supervisor present. However, we have found that groups of clinicians that attend with supervisors experience higher rates of success in completing the program
6.) How many participants are required/needed for the training?
There is no set number of participants required to apply for the training. You may send as many participants as you’d like from your agency/program
7.) What kind of participants should I register for the program?
Individuals best suited for this program are those who have some experience with technology (basic computer skills, Microsoft Office, using the internet) and are enthusiastic about learning new strategies to implement in daily practice. However, we are more than willing to work with any individual who wants to attend and complete this program
8.) How can I get more information about the program and training logistics?
Please visit our website – updated daily – for more information about the training program and additional resources. You may also contact the EBTDC MAP Team with any questions you may have
9.) Where can I register for the Informational Webinar?
You can visit this page on our website for Informational Webinar registration dates and instructions. All registrations for events are done online
10.) Do I need to attend an Informational Webinar to apply for training?
No. Informational webinars are not mandatory for applications to training
11.) I filled out the online application for the MAP Training Program but received no response. What now?
We send a confirmation email to every applicant of the program. If you did not receive a confirmation email from a member of our team, then the application did not go through. Please contact Lauren Seibel
12.) What is the MAP pre-training webinar?
The pre-training webinar provides important information about the content of training. It introduces the MAP tool and how Microsoft Excel will be used for our program. *Please note: The pre-training webinar differs from an informational webinar and is mandatory for all participants in the program
13.) How do I register for the MAP pre-training webinar?
All registered participants will be sent information, via email, about the pre-training webinar after they have been approved for training.
14.) Does the MAP training offer Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s)?
Yes, the MAP Program offers 32 FREE CEU credits to Licensed Social Workers, Licensed Mental Health Clinicians, and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapists who complete the entire program; click here for more information about getting your CEU's for MAP
15.) My agency/program cannot make this round of training. Can we automatically sign up for the next round of training?
No. You must submit a new application for every round of training you are interested in. Applicants are not automatically signed up for future rounds of training. You may, however, request notifications about future rounds of training from our team.
16.) My agency/program signed up last year for training. Do I still need to submit a new application if I am interested in sending new staff for the next round of training
Yes. You must submit a new application for every round of training you are interested in. Previously registered agencies are not automatically signed up for future rounds of training. We will need the most updated information on the program and staff that will be sent to the training, which is why we ask you to fill out a new application for every round you are interested in attending.
