Regardless of which patients and clients we work with, the skills of suicide risk assessment will enhance your overall skills as a mental health provider. You will master the latest on Neuroscience, cognitive and behavioral science, and evidence-based practices to enhance your skills and better affect change, in a more effective way, in a more efficient way, and in a more collaborative and engaging way.

This is all in addition to learning the Socratic Motivational Practice framework as part of mastering the secrets and soft skills of screening and assessing for suicide, how to properly intervene, and how to best tailor this framework to those you work with.

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.
