CEU Training Summit 2026

This two-day continuing education summit explores interdisciplinary, integrative, and often under-addressed dimensions of counseling work. Sessions focus on expanding clinical awareness beyond traditional symptom-focused approaches by examining environmental wellness, interdisciplinary collaboration, physiological influences on mental health, and ethical psychopharmacology awareness.

The summit is designed to help counselors broaden their clinical lens while strengthening advocacy, collaboration, and whole-person conceptualization skills.

Attendees can earn up to 10 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)—though you are welcome to attend as many individual sessions as you would like. This event features 6 outstanding presentations by leaders in the mental health & education fields:

Mo Wallbrown (LPCC, Doctoral Student)

Holly Brugh (Assitant Superintendant, Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board)

Erin Jensen Skeel (MA, LPCC-S)

Dr. Meagan McBride (PhD, LPCC-S, CTRP)

Whether you're looking to deepen your expertise, network with other professionals, or gain CEU credits toward licensure renewal, this event is a great opportunity to engage and grow! For questions or more information, please contact [email protected].

Continuing education is approved by the Heidelberg University Master of Arts in Counseling degree program and accepted by the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage & Family Therapist Board.
