2 CEU for LMSWs, LCSWs, and LMHCs

Money has such an impact on the experiences of our clients, but we rarely bring it up and talk about it. How do we begin the conversation of the financial wellness of our clients and how can we provide ongoing support to them to develop financial goals and achieve them. Financial wellness can also lead to a greater sense of empowerment, and freedom.

This is all in addition to learning the Socratic Motivational Practice framework as part of mastering the secrets and soft skills of helping our clients through this methodology, and how to best tailor this framework to those you work with. The amount of knowledge in mental health doubles every eighteen months, and we all want to provide authentic care.

Please join us, arm yourself with tools, enhance your practice, and make a difference in the lives of your patients, clients, and their families.

Join the SWEET Institute and Mike Hirson, expert in Business and Finance, and:

  1. Help your patients and clients learn what it means to have more control over day-to-day, month-to-month finances.
  2. Help your patients and clients develop strategy and capacity to absorb a financial shock without going into emotional crisis.
  3. Help your patients and clients develop financial goals and the steps that will be helpful to achieving them.
  4. Help your patients and clients understand what financial wellness and freedom is, and how it can lead to overall empowerment.

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.
