NBCC Credit Hours Training

Teens, tweens, and children today have unlimited access to information, apps, websites, and increasingly, artificial intelligence tools. This means they may be exposed to concerning content, AI-generated images or videos that blur reality, and online behaviors that can be confusing or harmful without proper guidance. That's why we offer a NBCC Credit Hours Training course to licensed counselors and social workers to provide them with the most up-to-date information about social media and online trends. Credit hours satisfy requirements for LSW/LCSW, LPC and LMFTA.
