NC TIDE 2020- VIRTUAL Event Due to COVID-19

The North Carolina Training, Instruction, Development and Education (NC TIDE) Committee is a non-profit training organization for the behavioral healthcare industry. With their first conference in 1975, established in 1992 as a non-profit agency, and renamed NC TIDE in 2011, NC TIDE has successfully completed over 85 conferences and trained thousands of individuals in the behavioral healthcare industry.

NCTIDE has worked hard to meet your training needs while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Your health and wellness are important to us. Because of COVID-19, NCTIDE Executive Committee has decided to change our 2020 Conference to a Virtual Conference June 29-July 2. Sessions will begin e at 8:30 am on the first day, and 9 am the following days and end by 12:00 pm. Contact hours will be offered for sessions attended virtually and Continuing Education Credits for NBCC and NCSAPPB are under application.

Attendees will need access to internet services in order to attend this conference. All attendees will enter into the conference in “listen-only” mode and will be allowed to submit questions via the Q/A panel within the webinar. Presenters will interface with attendees with polling during the sessions and will pause within the presentation to allow for the Q/A process.

NC TIDE has many partners contributing to their success including the Division of Health Benefits (NC Medicaid), Division of Mental Health Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse in North Carolina (DMH), as well representatives from the Local Management Entities/Managed Care Organizations and Behavioral Health Providers from across North Carolina. These partners ensure that NC TIDE has the most up to date and pertinent training to the behavioral health community. NC TIDE sponsors one training conference in the spring annually.
