I can’t believe it. Summer is over. Kids are back in school.  And, the International Center for Clinical Excellence (ICCE) is celebrating its one year anniversary!  Time passes so quickly.

On August 25th, 2009, I blogged about the creation of a web-based community of clinicians using the latest Web2.0 technology where participants could learn from and share with each other.  The ICCE website and community was officially launched the following December at the Evolution of Psychotherapy conference.  In a few short months, ICCE had become the largest, international online community of professionals, researchers, and policy makers working to improve the quality and outcome of behavioral health services.

So much more has happened over the last year, including the development and standardization of a training package for clinicians and agencies interested in streamlining the implementation of Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT), the annual “training of trainers” conference, and much more.  Take a look at the video and see for yourself, and if you are not already a member, join us online today at: www.centerforclinicalexcellence.com.

A week or so ago, I received an email from Susanne Helfgott, the sister of concert pianist David Helfgott who, as you know, will be performing at the upcoming “Achieving Clinical Excellence” conference in Kansas City.  She sent me a link to an interview with David that appeared on Australian morning TV.  David is a perfect example of the theme of the conference: achieving superior performance under challenging circumstances.  Check it out:
