Eligibility Policy

The 2020 Educational Series is open to mental health professionals or full-time graduate students in a mental health field. Although not eligible to receive continuing education credit, allied professionals (pediatricians, nurses, etc.) are welcome to register. APT has the right to refuse or cancel ineligible registrations at any time and shall not be held accountable for any outside fees associated with this cancellation. If you have any specific questions regarding your eligibility status, please contact Diane Leon, Conference Coordinator, dleon@a4pt.org.

Cancellation Policy

Registration cancellations for Day 3, November 6, 2020 must be submitted to APT in writing by October 23, 2020.

Workshop fee(s) minus, a $20 administrative charge, will be refunded only if the request is received 10 business days prior to the training day. Because registrations generate contractual and non-refundable guarantees between APT and other parties, registration refunds will neither be made after 10 business days prior to the training day nor to parties who register but do not attend.

Registrations may be transferred to another person without penalty only if original registrant notifies APT within 24-hours of the training day.

If a technical failure at the attendee’s home or workplace prevents access to the virtual training, the attendee will not be given a refund. It is the responsibility of the attendee to confirm system requirements and test their computers prior to the start of the virtual training. However, if a technical failure is the fault of the service provider and the virtual conference is cancelled, a full refund will be provided.

APT reserves the right to cancel this educational series in the event of unforeseen circumstances. If such occurs, APT will attempt to notify registrants at least 5 calendar days prior to the event and refund all workshop fees. In all instances, the liability of APT is limited to refunding such fees.
