Continuing Education Units

Lincoln Families maintains responsibility for programs, courses, and their content. Courses meet the qualifications for Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s) for LFMTs, LCSWs, LPCCs and/or LEPs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. CEU’s will not be administered for meals and breaks. 

CEU’s will be issued to participants after:

• Completed attendance of a training in its entirety

• Completed and submitted training evaluation form

• Email requesting CEUs sent to Alisha Young at alishayoung@lincolnfamilies.org

Cancellations

If we cancel training or a special event as a result of low registration, registrants will be notified by email or phone one week prior to the training date. If courses are cancelled for reasons beyond our control, then registrants will be given shorter notice.

Accommodations

In accordance with California Civil Code Section 54.1, any disabled person who requires accommodations to participate in our trainings are asked to please contact the Training Institute at 510-273-4700,x4132 at least three days in advance.
