Continuing Education Credits This class is approved for fifteen (18) Continuing Education Credits/Units (CEUs) towards re-licensure by the:
Certified Addictions Registered Nurses (CARN), other Nurses, Educators, and other Professionals where applicable: We are confident that our course meets the standards and objectives of what your licensing board or organization considers appropriate continuing education in your field or specialty. We believe your board will likely accept our course work hours towards your re-certification. However, for official approval and to receive CE credit from a licensing board not listed above, you must submit course information and CE hours earned directly to your individual licensing/certification board -- typically with your re-certification application. Workshop participants will receive a certificate that will document your participation, and/or completion, and CEUs where earned. The Connecticut Certification Board (CCB) (for substance abuse counselors) approved credits are generally accepted by most state substance abuse licensing boards through its IC&RC membership reciprocity agreement (check with your local chapterand let us know if you need additional documentation beyond your certificate of course completion). ). The American Academy of Health Care Providers in the Addictive Disorders approved credits are for Certified Addictions Specialists. These CEUs are valid for all CASs practicing in any US state. The Massachusetts Chapter of the NASW continuing education approval is typically accepted by all US NASW Chapters through its agreement of reciprocity (check with your local chapter). Massachusetts Mental Health Counselors Association (MMCEP/MaMHCA) approved credits are valid for Massachusetts licensed practitioners only. We encourage mental health practitioners from all other states to inquire directly to his/her respective licensing board regarding acceptance of continuing education credit for this workshop. Workshop participants will receive a certificate that will document your participation, and/or completion, and CEUs where earned. Please note, however, that all states, and their many different licensing boards, have their own regulations regarding what constitutes an approved continuing education credit. Therefore, it is ultimately up to you, the participant, to furnish appropriate CEU information to your licensing agency to receive official credit for CEUs earned. If your state's licensing board recognizes none of these organizations, please contact SPHERE and we will work with you individually to explore obtaining CE approval from an organization that your state accepts, if possible. You can e-mail us at online-ed@hcsm.org; when sending a message please write “CEUs” in the subject box. All Certificates are provided electronically by e-mail in pdf format to students, unless requested otherwise. For those individuals who want CEUs: Certificates of CEUs will be provided to students after they have 1) completed the course, 2) submitted all homework assignments by the assigned dates, and 3) completed and submitted all course surveys and evaluations by assigned dates. All Certificates will be provided electronically by e-mail in PDF format.
For those individuals who are not eligible, or don’t need CEUs, Certificates of Completion will be
provided. CEU Certificates or Certificates of Completion will be provided to students after they
have 1) completed the course, 2) submitted all homework assignments by the assigned date, and 3)
completed and submitted all course surveys and evaluations by assigned dates. All Certificates will
be provided electronically by e-mail in PDF format.
