Here's what attendees have been saying about SWEET seminars:

"It was like putting my DBT training through a filter and coming out with a cohesive and usable outline for my solo-private practice. Very helpful, excellent! I share your excitement around DBT, Dr. Sidor. I honestly feel like there should be a public health initiative to include in school curriculum for ALL." - Alisa, LCSW-R

"I love how clinical interventions are woven into this training. A great facilitator that maintains attention, drives productive conversation, and goes well beyond course material to ensure full comprehension, as well as application to today’s pandemic/other current events." - Chelsea, LCSW
