Florida Social License Renewal Approaches

Leave a comment

Boca Raton, FL – February 5, 2011 – The day is fast approaching for social workers, mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists in the state of Florida to have their licenses renewed. This is a requirement in the state of Florida, and renewals must be postmarked or submitted online by March 31st, 2011.

According to Dee Cohen, LCSW, “Busy social workers can easily forget to take the thirty ceu credits that are due by March 31st and required for license renewal.” The specific requirements for license renewal can be found at naswfl.org and we encourage all social workers to take the time to sit down, and properly look these over. Out of the thirty credits required, three of them must be a course on ethics and boundary issues, two continuing education credits will be on medical error prevention and another two will need to cover domestic violence issues. All thirty credits can be taken online or through homestudy courses but they must an approved provider and should list their number next to the course offering for verification.

It’s also important to remember the potential penalties that might be leveled if you were to attempt to act as an unlicensed social worker. Keep your certificates and proof of course completion in a safe place in the event of an audit.

Narconon Canada Steps Up its Anti Drink Driving Campaign with New PSAs

Leave a comment

Drug rehab and drug education non profit redoubles its offensive against drinking and driving in Canada.

Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, February 04, 2011 — The drug rehabilitation centre and drug education non profit organization, Narconon Trois-Rivieres, today steps up its anti drink driving campaign with the release of its new Public Service Announcement video “Drinking and Driving in Canada“.

The video which can be found on Narconon Trois-Rivieres’ YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/narconon3r warns of the dangers of drink driving and reminds viewers that this is a serious issue and one that needs to be taken seriously. The problem is not only getting worse but it is a big killer on canadian roads.

“In 2008, approximately 1,751,100 cars were involved in accidents in Canada,” the PSA claims. “Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada estimates that approximately 149,028 of these crashes involved drinking and driving. In this same year, 1,162 fatalities were caused by drinking and driving on the canadian roads. These numbers are increasing year after year. Drink responsibly. Drive responsibly. This message was brought to you by Narconon Trois-Rivieres. http://www.narconon.ca – alcohol rehab center.”

A second anti drink driving video is planned for the very near future, and this campaign is the latest in many that Narconon Trois-Rivieres has run over the years.

“We feel so strongly about this issue that we are determined to do something about it – especially to reduce the number of innocent children who are needlessly losing their lives in Canada due to drink driving. We sincerely hope that our new PSA will make a difference. Please encourage others to watch it,” says JF Dubreuil of Narconon Trois-Rivieres.

Mark W. Montgomery, DMD: Addressing Core Office Principles of Dentistry

Leave a comment

Dr. Montgomery has been a leader and innovator across a number of continuing education fronts in the dental industry. If you want to know what is new and useful in dentistry, the “go-to guy” is definitely Mark Montgomery.

Salt Lake City, UT, February 04, 2011 — Dr. Montgomery has been a leader and innovator across a number of continuing education fronts in the dental industry. If you want to know what is new and useful in dentistry, the “go-to guy” is definitely Mark Montgomery.

As an early adopter, he has embraced new methods and systems for the profession with considerable enthusiasm and precision. Many of these new applications over the past 30 years of his practice are now mainstream; as a matter of fact, there are too many to list in this short release. Often, Dr. Montgomery has gone on to become the authority and instructor for these new standards for care.

In talking with Dr. Montgomery, ( http://www.MarkMontgomeryDMD.com ) he feels understanding the patients’ needs and desires relative to dentistry is critical. This doesn’t mean the typical routine cleanings that lead to a procedure or repair for something that is damaged. This is more about embracing what the patients want. Knowing what method and process to achieve the desired results is the practitioner’s job, as well as the patient education.

More often than not, when properly presented, patients will elect for much more than just the minimum of a single repair procedure. This is where we separate dentists who wish to have patients elect for care programs that may last from months to years from those who are just addressing what is broken as discovered.

Unless practitioners interact with and educate their patients – just like it is done by hygienists relative to brushing and flossing – how are these patients to know what is available other than by observance of others that have better smiles or better functioning teeth?

This isn’t rocket science. Practitioners need to embrace the dynamics that exist between patients and providers. This means office involvement from practitioner to staff members. If patients aren’t given the options and tools to make an informed decision, whose fault is that? Dr. Montgomery would argue the profession or the individual practitioner. ( http://www.MarkMontgomeryDMD.com )

There is effort to learn the process, but most dentists are already learning on a continual basis, but fall short on the integration and application of what they learn. Perhaps it is time to address and take the lead from others who have been successful in the integration portion of the learning process.

Chicago, February 1, 2011 – Chicagoland Sunbelt and Kathy Beimfohr, Certified Business Intermediary and Broker at Chicagoland Sunbelt (www.chicagolandsunbelt.com) were contracted by an owner of an electronic education business to handle the sale of his business. The successful transaction was completed in the last quarter of 2010. The seller wished to retire and needed to transition his business to a new owner. In addition to operating a business he founded and ran for seventeen years, the sale of his business provided funds for retirement. This transaction is part of a growing trend.

The business community is looking at a period of businesses ownership transition as business owners look to sell one of their major assets –their business- and move on to retirement.

The seller founded the business seventeen years ago. The product serves the continuing educational needs of school administrators and superintendents. The seller gathered relevant educational theory and practice content from today’s leading experts.  Interviews with leaders in education and business  were the highlight of each edition. The unique content is delivered by DVD or streamed from the web. Three states have contracted with this business to supply continuing education to their education professionals statewide. “This company truly provides the first anytime/anywhere resource for busy administrators and educators,“ says Beimfohr, “making it extremely convenient and highly accessible information that is required for continuing education credits.”

Over one hundred interested buyers contacted Beimfohr and Chicagoland Sunbelt with interest in learning more about the business. This business was a truly one-of-its kind educational format with consistent revenues and a tremendous opportunity for growth.  The combination of the industry served and the state-of-the-art distribution made the business very attractive to business buyers. Fifty-seven potential buyers actually were shown the business. Multiple offers were generated that produced successful results:  the business sold for full asking price.  The buyer and seller worked out a satisfactory transition including consulting from the seller as the buyer got up to speed and put his future plans in place.

“The interest in this type of business was remarkable”, says Beimfohr, “due to its position on the forefront of technology and the fact that it meets a consistent need of our nation’s educators.”

“It is important when considering the sale of your business to find the team that is right for you,” stated Domenic Rinaldi, Managing Director of Chicagoland Sunbelt, “and Kathy Beimfohr really provides leadership to sellers in a potentially stressful time.
