For Mental Health Professionals
I appreciated the balance of theory and interventions. I felt everything that was taught I could implement in my office tomorrow. The presenter was extremely knowledgeable and used a variety of teaching modalities. I would love to attend more trainings.”

Participants are required to attend for the entire duration of the workshop, signing in and out for breaks. Facilitator(s) may complete a check-in process at the beginning of the workshop, and participants’ virtual presence in webinars will be tracked by the Zoom report feature. After the workshop is completed, participants will be required to complete an evaluation and post-test in order to receive their certificate.
What is the process for receiving my certificate?
Participants who completed the entire training and signed in providing an email address will receive an email requesting they complete an evaluation within two weeks of the training.
