About
Our Inspiration
Renewing clinical licenses often requires completing approximately 30 hours of continuing education every two years, including a mandatory 3 hours of ethics. While fulfilling these requirements, particularly ethics trainings, can feel tedious, CEUs You Want to Take is dedicated to providing engaging and relevant classes for clinicians. We only present material that lights us up as practitioners ourselves.
Nearly 60% of U.S. workers reported some symptoms of burnout last year (according to the 14th annual Aflac WorkForces Report). That number jumps to over 93% for behavioral health clinicians, with 62% describing these symptoms as severe, according to a 2023 report by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
CEUs You Want to Take aims to provide courses that alleviate some of the heaviness of this field by offering creative and evidence-based tools and conversations that bring renewed vitality to the therapy room and other healthcare settings.
