New York Mental Health Counselors Association
Continuing Education Program
NYMHCA's continuing education program was developed to provide you with the continuing education programs that you need to fulfill your LMHC license renewal process every 3 years.
NYMHCA will offer only live, in-person programs such as workshops given during our regional chapter meetings, webinars and workshops given during our biennial conventions. Attendees will fill out and hand in a survey and receive their completion certificates!
*** If you attend a CEU workshop presented by one of NYMHCA's 10 Regional Chapters the
fee schedule is as follows:
- If you are a NYMHCA Chapter Member - $5 per CEU
- If you are a NYMHCA member but not a chapter member - $10 per CEU
- If you are not a NYMHCA member - $20 per CEU
- Students, new grads and members of other professions are welcome to attend these
workshops. You will only pay if you require CEU's.
- Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs), and CASACs can use these CEU workshops to
fulfill a portion of the continuing education requirements for the renewal of their
certifications.
