Brenda,
Here is an update on Thinking for a Change training that NIC is providing via technical assistance in the coming months. I do not know all the details but you can contact the NIC staff managing the TA and they can assist or redirect you to the host agency for the event. In all cases, there may or may not be slots available for outside participation of individuals from other agencies.....but often there are. I believe all three of the events are for the basic Facilitator Training but have not been able to confirm yet.
Culpepper County, VA, and Colorado Springs, CO is being managed by Bernie Iszler, NIC Program Specialist, biszler@bop.gov
Alabama is being managed by Richard Geaither, NIC Program Specialist rgeaither@bop.gov
Please feel to contact them directly via email for additional details about each of these events. Other folks reading this message can also feel free to contact NIC.
Hope this helps.
