Here's what attendees have been saying about SWEET seminars:
"This was my first webinar and I had such a great learning experience. I look forward to working and learning using this program." – Tiffane, LMSW
"The self-study in my opinion worked better for me learning. I think the self-study webinar was a better learning experience for me, as I got to go back and re-listen to things if I did not understand them or it was said too quickly. I liked that I could do it at my own pace, and take notes at my own pace as well." – Victoria, Clinician
