Skills, and Attitudes of Professional Practice. This printing of TAP 21
contains updated competencies that are essential to the effective
practice of counseling for substance use disorders. Under each
competency, the TAP lists updated knowledge, skills, and attitudes that
counselors need to become proficient in that competency. It also
includes expanded bibliographies and new sections on cultural competence
and Internet resources. TAP 21 was originally developed in 1998, in

3.  Oregon Adolescent Sexuality Conference 
The Oregon Adolescent Sexuality Conference is March 13-14 in Seaside,
Oregon. Registration materials and workshop descriptions are now on-line
and can be viewed on the website: www.ascoregon.orgLast year the
conference attracted over 300 human services professionals and
educators. Workshops touch on a broad range of topics related to
adolescent sexuality including brain development, youth inclusion in
programming, inclusive parenting, sexuality minority youth and more. It
is very broad-based. A large number of presentations this year also
include youth presenters; what a great opportunity to hear from the
youth themselves about their experiences and ideas! Keynote speakers
are: 1) Julie Rosenzweig, Ph.D., L.C.S.W. of PSU; 2) Dee Redwine, MPH,
from Planned Parenthood of America-International; and 3) Sarah Schulman,
