 The 2010 Annual Conference, hosted by New York State Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (NYSATSA) and the New York State Alliance of Sex Offender Service Providers (NYSASOSP), are pleased to invite you to submit a 90 minute workshop proposal for the 2010 Annual Conference. The conference will be held Monday, May 3 – Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino Conference Center in Verona, NY (conveniently located off Interstate 90; the resort is approximately 35 miles east of Syracuse). 

The NYSATSA/NYSASOSP Conference provides an opportunity for participants to examine services involving shared leadership and resources, as well as programs and practices that influence emerging best practices. The Conference enables attendees to interact and network with leaders in the field of sex offender treatment, supervision, assessment, management, and victim advocacy. We are certain that all will benefit from this opportunity to share, learn, and strategize with others dedicated to improving sex offender management services in New York State.

Appropriate workshop topics include issues related to the treatment, supervision, assessment and management of adolescents and adults who have sexually offended; sexual victimization and victim advocacy.

The conference committee especially invites presentations that focus on:

  • Adolescent sex offense specific assessment and treatment
  • How to effectively and ethically manage sexual abusers in the community
  • Assessment and treatment issues related to child pornography
  • Sexual victimization, trauma, and victim advocacy
  • Clinical application of the latest research in assessment and managing sexual abusers

Please see the guidelines and workshop information forms for more information. All workshop submissions are due on Friday, December 4, 2009. The conference committee will make all decisions by January 9, 2010 and you will be notified after that date.
