Opportunity to receive up to 36 hours of continuing education credit!
The aim of this program is to further enhance knowledge among individuals who work with or advocate for survivors and victims of crime. Certificate completion will require all three workshops, which will address a variety of issues that may be encountered when working with victims of crime. Completion of all three workshops will earn the certificate, while individual workshops can earn CEUs. The cost will be $195 per workshop and registering more than one week in advance prior to the start of each workshop would be appreciated.
The workshops will be held in Springfield, Missouri, on the Missouri State University campus. The exact location for the workshops currently relies on the number of registrants, so will be determined as the date approaches.
For those registrants who will be traveling from out of town, we are currently working with nearby hotels to arrange for lodging at a discounted rate.
