At the Behavioral Health Provider Network (BHPN), one of the ways we support you, our providers, is through offering free Continuing Education (CE) courses held throughout the year, led by world-class experts. We’re committed to supporting clinicians throughout the network in expanding their behavioral health expertise to deliver exceptional clinical care and client experiences.
BCBA CE requirements exist for a reason — to ensure that those with certification continuously expand their behavior-analytic skills and stay up-to-date on new research and developments within the field of behavioral health. But retaining certification can cost nearly $1000 out of your own pocket annually. This can be challenging, especially for providers running their own small businesses. Since May 2019, the BHPN has provided enough BCBA CE courses for clinicians to maintain their certification at no cost. This investment not only supports the professional growth and expertise of clinicians but directly impacts our clients, their families and the outcomes they are looking to achieve.
Most of the courses are virtual to further support clinicians with busy schedules and those in remote areas. Some CE events we’ve hosted in the past include courses on ethical treatment for youth and adults, curriculum-based assessments for ABA treatment and ethical considerations, as well as parent coaching. Additionally, we host our annual Enhancing Your Impact conference, a 2-day event with workshops, panels and keynote speakers.
Simply put, our philosophy of investing in the education and professional development of our provider partners benefits our communities by ensuring mission-driven and industry-leading clinicians can continue to grow while positively impacting and improving client outcomes for the nearly 12,000 families being served in our network annually. Thank you to everyone who has participated in our past CE events, and we look forward to continuing to provide these great learning opportunities to everyone throughout the network in 2021 and beyond!
