Frequently Asked Questions about the SIP Conference & Retreat

The SIP Conference and Retreat are for all SIP members, their families (children, siblings, parents, spouses or partners, etc.), guests, and anyone who works with Native American Indigenous people in the area of mental health (defined broadly) or is studying to do so.

The University Inn is a small hotel on campus where the Conference is held. Your stay includes complimentary covered parking. If you want this option, make your reservation early because they can run out of rooms. You can reserve your room online or by phone directly with the hotel

There are many other hotels and Airbnbs in Logan.

Over the years, many Conference attendees have brought their families. There is an informal network of babysitters to accommodate childcare. If you are looking for this, please post to the listserv or email Melissa Tehee so that they can connect with you.

If your child is able to tolerate psychology presentations while playing or coloring quietly, they can easily be accommodated at a table in the back or at one of the sides of the room. In some years, several families have coordinated a craft table, depending on the number of children available.
