At the University of Connecticut we have implemented BASICS this school
year. There was a training with George Parks, paid for through a grant
(many area schools were represented). I am a trainer of BASICS and
trained additional staff to be facilitators across campus. BASICS is
used as a sanctioning option, but can also be used for voluntary
screening of students. We are incorporating the MI as a systems approach
across campus to influence the way people address the issue of substance
use with the students.

North Dakota held a statewide training for 2 days with George Parks. We
were able to access funding from Central CAPT for speaker fees and room
arrangements (rent, snacks, coffee, lunches). Travel was up to the
individual.
North Dakota plans to implement BASICS at the sanctioning level. As far
as "offical" training versus self teaching - I would recommend the
training, because it offers an opportuntity to practice the model and
ask questions. It also provides the same information in the same way to
all attending. The manual is then helpful for the actual implementation.
Hope this helps.

I am wondering if any of your campuses has gone through this training
and if so who was the training with, how long was it, costs and how you
are implementing it. In addition have any of you had "official" training
in BASICS vs getting the manual and self teaching. Thanks.
