Social Worker Continuing Education Courses Webinar Wisconsin February 2018
Are you a social worker or other mental health professional who is interested in keeping up-to-date with the latest research on mental health?
Listening and/or participating in various webinars, webcasts or podcasts is one way of doing so. Webinars (or webcasts) are essentially presentations given live online, via the web and teleconference.
Webcasts are often recorded to allow you subsequent access at any time. Many of the hosting mental health organizations will also provide you with continuing education units (CEUs).
