"The webinar was extremely informative and very interactive. I liked the case vignettes and the fact that the instructor took the time to explain the best way to intervene after the vignettes were presented."

"The information is useful for practice. The webinar is easy to use. The sense of community from the live webinar is welcoming and fun! Practical steps and techniques I can use in my work."

"It was well organized, personal, and informative. Karen was much more personable and engaging than other webinars I have been too. It almost felt like a live training. The facilitators can make or break a presentation. She exceeded my expectations."

- Darcy, LCSW

There are a handful of states that the NASW does not cover because those states want to maintain their independent authority to approve, or not, providers and courses. In New York State, the Office of Professions controls the approval process. We are an approved provider by the NY State Office of Professions. In other words:

  • In the State of New York, SWEET Institute is approved by the Office of Professions under Dr. Sidor Psychiatric Services as a CEU provider for social workers (#SW-0471) and mental health counselors (#MHC-0127).
  • Our live and self-study webinars are individually approved by the NASW National CE Approval Program in 46 additional states. SWEET courses are NOT approved by the NASW National CE Approval Program in: Michigan, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
