Certificate Course Packages

Only 10% of what we have learned in graduate school will serve us to properly treat our patients or clients, to excel in clinical care, and to really stand out as a clinician.

While experience solves part of the problem, it provides us with only 30% of what it takes. Furthermore for years of experience to transform into clinical wisdom, some specific tools are required throughout our career.

As such, if we rely solely on our traditional schooling, or solely on our years of experience, we will spend our entire career with only 40% of what it takes. Worse so, we will not know what we don’t know and this will be dangerous for those we serve, for our own career, and agencies.

But this shocking, scary, and unfortunate situation needs not continue as such because SWEET has the solution for you. We now have certificate course programs designed for you to specifically address this conundrum, and for you to attain mastery, obtain real expertise, and achieve exceptional skills in the most common areas of mental health.
