The 2021 SHICK Grant Year began April 1, 2021, and continues through March 31, 2022. Experienced counselors need to complete Course 5 Annual Update Training by March 31, 2022.
SHICK counselors are required to complete Annual Update Training each year after their initial training year to maintain certification as an active counselor. This includes all previously certified SHICK counselors, including Part C/D only counselors. This does NOT include counselors who complete their initial Basic training in the current grant year.
Annual Update training for GY 2021 will begin after April 1. Update Training will be offered via online video conferencing along with possible in-person conferencing at select locations. The GY2021 training schedule and registration is available at the SHICK Annual Training Calendar.
NOTE: If a trained SHICK counselor fails to complete the Annual Update Training in one grant year, they may be required to complete the Initial Counselor training to re-certify as an active SHICK counselor.
