OCA is pleased to announce our 2025 virtual Spring Conference, which will be held Friday, April 25-Saturday, April 26 via Zoom. Practitioners and counselor educators are invited to submit proposals. We seek quality, creative proposals that focus on relevant and practical topics related to the mental health counseling professions. We hope you consider sharing your expertise, creative programs, and best practices with colleagues from across the state. This OCA event will attract professional and future counselors from across Ohio, including academic leaders, private practitioners, and student delegates. All sessions will be online and presented live. If interested in submitting a proposal, please complete the Google Form linked below by the deadline of Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 11:59 pm. You may submit up to two 60-minute presentation proposals. Selected proposals will be blind reviewed by the proposal committee, certified for CSWMFT CE credit, and listed in the final program. All individuals submitting a proposal will be notified via email of whether or not the proposal has been accepted in early February. If your proposal is accepted, you must be available to present either Friday, April 25 or Saturday, April 26, 2025. OCA will set the schedule of presentations once the final presentations are approved, and you will be notified by the end of February of your presentation date and time. All presenters will be required to register for the conference at a discounted rate. Click here to submit a proposal Interested in reviewing proposals?
