COVID-19 Education Series
We are excited to announce that for the first time, the Professional Education Department is offering five, one-hour online trainings for free. We know how disruptive the coronavirus has been for licensed helping professionals. Our response was to design and offer a series of pandemic-related continuing education opportunities (taught by some of our top faculty members and CE trainers) to support our social workers, LPCs, and LMFTs and provide the information they need during this difficult and evolving time.
Please note, while the training is free, there is a $15 fee per CE certificate issued to cover administrative costs. Please feel free to share these trainings with your networks.
