Presented by AAMFT-CA
This 32-hour CE certification is a remarkable training for clinicians everywhere. Those who are pre-licensed and clinicians out of the State of California are invited to take this course, but only licensed clinicians in California are eligible to receive CE credits. We believe this training will be an important addition to the growing field of LGBT affirmative psychotherapy and a vital service to the mental health profession and those we serve.
The certification training consists of a basic text, task force reports, journal articles, case studies, over five hours of original streaming video and material written exclusively for this curriculum. Most of the elements of the curriculum require completion of a post-test in order to move onto the next material. The 32-hour CE certification is self-paced.
