Continuing Education (CE) Information

IDHA is pleased to offer the Mad Studies Symposium for Continuing Education (CE) credits!

5 CE credits for Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, and Therapists are available at the General or Supporter rate only.

IMPORTANT NOTE: License eligibility for this activity is more limited than usual for IDHA, so please be sure to view the CE details prior to registering.

As a training institute that values lived experience as highly as professional training, IDHA recognizes the way that the credentialing system enforces a culture of professionalism and devalues lived experience. At the same time, we believe it is a radical act to offer our training content for CE credits, ensuring that mental health workers and other clinicians can apply transformative mental health knowledge in maintaining a credential.
