There is no end date for the interventionist program. We have enough activities to go through and many of them can be repeated. Our longest client has been with us for 2 years, for example, and we have introduced new activities to keep the plan fresh and relevant but have also repeated some activities as well. The minimum hours are 3 hours per week, and many of our clients in the bay area either do 3 hours per week (two 1.5 hour sessions per week) or 6 hours per week (three 2 hour sessions per week). As for materials, the interventionist will be using the same CTM kit but will be utilizing more activities through the IMS, which can be accessed using the iPad. The only additional investment that is required for the interventionist program are an iPad (one for each interventionist), hiring an interventionist (minimum of a bachelor's degree in psychology, nursing or related area) and time required to complete training (training is done in two parts: a self-study portion and a virtual training session led by me, and there is not cost to this training - however, I would like someone who would be a future interventionist trainer to participate as well so training can eventually be done locally. Let me know when you are ready to train the interventionist and I can go over the process in greater detail). I hope this answers your question. There's been a lot of offices implementing the interventionist program lately so I am planning to put together a document that outlines the implementation process for the program but until then, feel free to email or call me with questions.
