Why Choose Us?

How Can This Program Improve My Practice?

An anti-racist and multi-cultural approach to therapy is a focus in some of our clinical training programs, but there are considerably fewer options to obtain structured and specialized CE training around racially equitable and anti-racist mental health practice.

This comprehensive certificate program provides you information, real-world cases, and helpful techniques to explore your own racial identity, gain awareness of your implicit biases, and ultimately become a participant in racial healing through informed clinical practice. And, you can do it in about 19 hours, self-paced. This certificate program does not require that you pay for annual recertification, just to keep your certificate. 

The course modules, along with all materials, will remain available to you in your Dashboard for up to 5+ years (the usual life span of our self-paced courses) so that you may reference them as you require, to refresh yourself.

When you earn your Certificate in Anti-Racist Mental Health Practice, it becomes a signal to potential employers and clients in need that you’ve engaged in the necessary training and individual growth work to effectively approach your clinical work through an anti-racist and trauma-informed lens.

We’re eager to help you start your journey toward a racially equitable mental health practice! If you have questions or would like to be put in touch with one of the program trainers, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at cc@onlinececredits.com.
