If we cannot think, perceive, feel, or behave any differently from our belief systems, it may make sense for us to get to know and understand them as much as possible.

Unfortunately, this is the last thing our patients and clients are familiar with. Studies show that we all have erroneous beliefs and they, as a result, are limiting. What are we to do then? It starts with a belief log followed by a belief inventory, which has an art and science behind it.

Will you join the SWEET Institute to master the art and science of Belief Inventory so you can help your patients and clients get unstuck? We look forward to seeing you then!


At the end of this webinar, you will have:
  1. Learned the framework of the Socratic Motivational Practice to help our patients and clients understand their beliefs, how those beliefs can be limiting and disempowering, and what to do about it.
  2. Learned the Principles, Techniques, Steps, and Do's and Don'ts of the Socratic Motivational Practice to help our patients and clients understand their beliefs, how those beliefs can be limiting and disempowering, and what to do about it.
  3. Increased your tools to talking with patients and clients by identifying at least one thing you will start doing differently, at the end of the webinar, as a result of the Socratic Motivational Practice framework.
  4. Everything you want in one place, including an illustration of how to implement the newly learned skills during our role plays.
  5. Received your certificate by email immediately after your post-test and evaluation are completed.

HERE'S WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR SWEET WEBINARS:

“I was able to get a better understanding of the connection between cognitive distortions and cognitive restructuring. I was also able to better understand both concepts individually.”

- Luis, LMHC

"I liked the breakdown of categories and tasks needed by the client to grow. Also, I was interested in the inclusion of brain research as Dr. Sidor developed his presentation. It underlined technique.”

- Antoinette, LCSW-R

"What made today's experience so wonderful was the sharing of real world experience. The case examples really put the theories and concepts we were discussing into perspective in a way that gives me more confidence in my own practice."

- Sarah, LMSW

What is the SWEET Institute?
SWEET’s vision is to facilitate the empowerment of all clinicians, advocates, and agencies, and in turn, that of patients and clients they serve. Through empowerment, self-care will be promoted, burnout will be prevented, and excellent patient/client care will be upheld. At SWEET, we emphasize “the Why, the How, the What, and Then What," while using the Socratic and Desire Methods. SWEET’s mission is to facilitate empowerment through education, multimodal trainings, and a community established for all clinicians, advocates, and agencies, so we can all grow together.
How different are these webinars? Will I be able to interact with the Course Facilitator(s)?
Absolutely. One of the keystone paradigms of the SWEET Institute is the collective learning process. This is accomplished using the Socratic Method and is based on the most up-to-date adult learning theories. Integrating this process into our in-person seminars and live webinars creates a unique and dynamic learning experience for all of us. It is essential to us that a comfortable learning environment is created, so that anyone who attends our webinars or in-person seminars participate and are able to take risks and push themselves to gain deeper knowledge. In our webinars, this will be done through our chat feature. Also, both Mardoche and Karen are available for consultation and clarification following webinars and in-person seminars or by email at [email protected].
How will I get CEUs?
At the end of the webinar, you will be completing a post-webinar exam for online learning, and an evaluation of the course. Once the post-test is passed and the evaluation completed, your certificate will be emailed to you.
Are you available for in-person or online training for agencies, including those outside New York?
We are! We will first need to learn more about the specific needs of your agency/organization. This way we are able to customize our seminars/webinars to ensure that it is the best fit possible for the staff.
I’m an LMHC/LMSW/LCSW, do you provide CEU credits?
SWEET is currently approved to provide continuing education credits to clinicians in 47 states. We are approved by the New York State Department of Education to provide CEU credits to LMSWs, LCSWs, and LMHCs. Our webinars are individually approved by NASW in 46 additional states. The only states we currently cannot provide CEU credits for social workers are Michigan, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
