Continuing Education

Ahhhh!! There are so many continuing education (CE) training courses out there, but how do I know how well established the approach or methods I am signing up to learn are?

Not to worry, bridge sifts out and continues to update the well-established CE trainings in therapy, assessment, and topics for practice. That way you can make the best of the time and cash you spend on continuing ed units (CEUs) to better serve your clients. bridge also provides therapist resources such as common uses for medications, ICD / DSM diagnosis codes, books for therapists, and self help books and workbooks for clients!

For good mental health information for clients to consume, check out Dr. Matt B or Healthline.
