About Continuing Education Units

This workshop is not geared toward people of any particular profession; it is for all couples who are wanting to grow and deepen their connection.

For some professionals (mental health, some psychologists, nurses, and dentists), CE's may be available through R. Cassidy Seminars. Please check directly to see if your professional license is approved. There have been some changes with the approval for R. Cassidy Seminars so it is essential that you check with your particular state and licensing board to make sure you are covered. They currently cover Nurses and Dentists in California, and psychologists licensed in New York. If you are an MFT, Social Worker, or Licensed Counselor, or other mental health professional please double check with your licensed board to see if they accept R. Cassidy as a CE Provider. It recently came to my attention that R. Cassidy is no longer able to offer Psychologists or mental health professionals in California CE's at this time.

The program is eligible for 12 CE's if your professional license authorizes CE's through R. Cassidy Seminars.
Here is the link for CE's: www.academeca.com/CEUReg/SeminarInfo.aspx?seminarId=4465

Evaluations and Certificates are available by email and online following course completion at www.ceuregistration.com

Professionals who attend with their partner, will learn the latest research about adult love relationships and how to keep them healthy and long lasting. This can help therapists in their own personal relationships, their relationships with their clients, as well as helping their clients with their primary love relationships. If you are a mental health professional, this workshop is not a replacement or subsitute for obtaining training to become proficient in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. It is more like an introductory course, that teaches the EFT Map.
