New CEU Courses Added

Autism Spectrum Disorders
3 Standard ceus $9/2 NBCC ceus $6

This course was developed from information provided by the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Mental Health to give a brief overview of autism spectrum disorders. It includes descriptions, indicators, social symptoms, assessment, treatment, and directions in research for these disorders. Estimations indicate that autism spectrum disorders effect up to 1 in every 150 children in the United States, so this course is appropriate for anyone in the medical, mental health, education, or social work field who may come into contact with these children or with teens and adults with autism.

Children and Mental Health
11 Standard ceus $33/11 NBCC ceus $33

Using information from the Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health, this course was designed to give an overview of the basic principles of mental health and illness in children and adolescents. Included in the course are theories of childhood development, a review of risk factors and prevention, and a description of mental disorders in children. Various treatment interventions are discussed, as well as service delivery options for children with mental health issues.

Substance Abuse Treatment for Adults in the Criminal Justice System
18 Standard ceus $54/ 18 NBCC ceus $54

This is an excellent course that focuses on examining substance abuse disorders among criminal offenders. The course material is taken from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration publication in the Treatment Improvement Protocol Series, and it provides recommendations to counselors and administrators based on the research literature and the experience of seasoned treatment professionals. It covers the various criminal justice settings and all the phases through which an individual progresses in the criminal justice system and addresses both clinical and programmatic areas of treatment. It would be appropriate for anyone who works with substance abusing criminal offenders or their loved ones, or for those who are interested in learning more about these issues.

NBCC vs. Standard CEU Hrs:
If your license or credential is issued by NBCC (the National Board of Certified Counselors) you will take the NBCC exams and purchase the NBCC noted home study courses. All other licensees and credentials will need to order courses noted as 'standard hours'. If you have multiple licenses/credentials - then NBCC hours will need to take precedence.
