Professional Development for Counselors and Community Education Opportunities
Grow your practice and/or enrich your understanding with continuing education courses in Colorado.
Enhance your skills and therapeutic practice with our continuing education courses for therapists. Our courses are provided by experts in the field and cover a range of subjects in mental and behavioral health, supporting professional development. These courses fulfill Colorado requirements for continuing education and licensure renewal in the state.
We additionally provide educational opportunities to community organizations, advocacy groups, and other community partners to improve understanding of behavioral health issues and reduce stigma. People with mental and behavioral health issues often avoid seeking help due to personal beliefs and/or fear of bias and discrimination. We strive to enhance community awareness of behavioral health issues, enabling the community to assist individuals in getting the help they need.
Allowing for flexibility, participants can access our course offerings from anywhere using a TeleVideo virtual platform. Please see our schedule of course offerings below.
We can provide in person training to those community agencies or partners who wish to provide in-service or community-based trainings.
Please contact us to discuss your therapist or community training needs.
