MVBCN clinical trainings are designed to meet the needs of our consumers and agencies, and often link with systems improvement priorities. Trainings are free and are certified to meet continuing education credit requirements for behavioral health professionals. Generally participation is open only to staff working within MVBCN-contracted agencies. Some workshops are designed to include a broader audience, such as consumers, advocates, or allied agency partners. If this is the case, a flyer identifying who should attend will be made available to the target audience.
Pre-registration is required for all MVBCN trainings. The registration process consists of mailing or faxing a registration form to our office. You will receive a faxed or mailed confirmation of your registration.
