frequently asked questions
Which courses are accredited?
Courses in Clinician Academy are eligible for Continuing Education hours through NBCC. Any clinician course that does not offer CE hours will be clearly marked.
How are the courses structured?
Courses are 1-2 hours long, and consist of live online or recorded content presented by licensed mental health clinicians. Most courses are presented in a lecture style with varying levels of interaction, depending on the content and style of the presenter. Yoga and Reiki courses are more experiential, rather than educational in nature. Clinician courses also include a course assessment and evaluation.
