NBCC Credit Hours Training

Teens, tweens, and children today have unlimited access to information, apps, and websites. This means that they can be exposed to concerning information, images, and behaviors. 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.
