Display & Exhibits

For decades, the Annual Summer School for the Helping Professional (ASSHP) has consistently offered programs and leadership that has enhanced the personal and professional development of Iowa’s helping professionals. I would like to invite you and your staff to attend this year’s Annual Summer School. We are offering one, two, three and four day workshops on topics relevant to the helping professions. Information and registration can be accessed at the ASSHP website linked above. In addition, I would like to invite you to highlight your program, product or organization at the upcoming 29th ASSHP sponsored by The University of Iowa College of Education, Juvenile Justice Advisory Council Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning, Iowa Department of Health Division of Behavioral Health and Professional Licensure, Iowa Substance Abuse Program Directors’ Association, and in cooperation with The University of Iowa College of Nursing. Last year’s ASSHP was attended by over 300 counselors, nurses, social workers, psychologists and other helping professionals from more than 50 Iowa counties. The ASSHP provides a very unique opportunity for counselors and other helping professionals to network and earn academic credit as well as Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Each year the program has increased its enrollment and the variety of its offerings.
