Counselors…
Anyone interested in a deep dive into the applications of polyvagal theory in clinical work.
I highly encourage you to attend live to get the most out of the interactive elements of the training, but I understand unexpected obstacles sometimes arise. As a courtesy, a recording of each session will be available to view until the next one airs.
Continuing Education Certificates of Attendance will be provided in PDF format along with a handout on course material and presenter bio(s). While this has been sufficient for CEUs toward license updates in years past, BraveBrains cannot guarantee that individual licensing boards will accept this certificate for continuing education credit.
Can I just purchase one or two sessions?
Each session builds on the last, so single session purchase/participation is not possible. You won’t want to miss any sessions (that’s why we are making them available by recording between sessions). If you’re interested in topical trainings, send me an email and let me know what’s on your mind. Also, be sure to sign up for updates below to stay in the loop on all our latest webinars and events.
