Continuing Education

Continuing education is necessary to maintain professional licensure and certification in many states. Continuing education is also beneficial to help practitioners update their clinical skills and knowledge about various ethical and professional standards associated with suicide prevention.

 

Helping professions are constantly changing, growing, and developing new techniques, strategies, and theories based on an ever-evolving body of research and knowledge.

 

A list of Internet resources are described that offer current, comprehensive, and varied continuing education opportunities. If you are still unable to find the information that you need, please contact the Online guide.
