Course Leader Training and Mentoring: Conference calls, email, phone
The authors reviewed the Treatment Manual, instruments, and homework in an initial 80-
minute conference call with the nurse course leaders. A second training session was recorded as
a DVD for additional reinforcement. Monthly telephone conference calls provided support and
guidance, identified challenges and solutions, and enabled site-to-site interaction. Agendas
included progress reports, successes, problem-solving, and collaborative presentations. The
authors were also available by e-mail and phone.
