We were excited for the group's upcoming CEU content and events being held in 2020/21.
Tentative Plan:
September: starting the season off with a relaxed but energetic speed networking event. We are looking for all disciplines to participate in this event, watch for notifications.
October: 3 CEU event on Adolescent depression/anxiety and how technology plays a role in that
November: 2 CEU recovery panel event - how modern times are affecting recovery and current trends panel/event. If you’re in the recovery field, come learn about recovery organizations and the support they can provide, alternative methods other than traditional 12 step groups, such as Buddhism and other holistic recovery methods like acupuncture to integrate into practice.
January of 2021: 2 CEU Social Work Event Ethics in Practice.
May of 2021: 2 CEU event on neuropsychology and how it integrates into clinical social work/mental health therapy.
We encourage all members, and nonmembers, all professions to participate, and contact us with ideas and suggestions.
