Our Post-Master's Certificate Programs are based on the most up-to-date research and evidence-based practice. Our programs help professionals advance their knowledge in treatment strategies and improve their approaches to complicated cases.
We offer a participatory learning environment that fosters an atmosphere conducive to building relationships with faculty, fellow social workers, and other mental health professionals. Case presentations ground the theoretical content in practice. Dialogue around cases helps improve skills in assessment and treatment. Related readings supplement class lectures and student dialogue. The majority of our participants are case managers and therapists in community- based and health care agencies, therapists in private practice, agency leaders/ directors, educators, and clergy.
