Continuing education (CE) is a must for mental health professionals, but often feels like a chore. Many therapists find themselves sifting through irrelevant courses just to meet their credit requirements. What if there was a CE program that offered engaging, relevant content, truly enhancing your skills as both a clinician and a business owner? Simple Practice Learning is changing the game, offering a modern and compelling approach to professional development.
Tired of the Same Old CE Courses?
Traditional CE courses can often be uninspired and fail to truly engage practitioners. Simple Practice Learning takes a different approach. Recognizing that professionals learn best when challenged, their courses present diverse perspectives and novel ideas, moving beyond the typical, uninspiring CE experience. The content is specifically designed to be thought-provoking and impactful, ensuring you actively absorb and retain the information. Engagement is key to effective learning, and Simple Practice Learning prioritizes creating courses that resonate with and stimulate the audience.
Dr. Ben Caldwell, Education Director at Simple Practice Learning, emphasizes this transformative vision: “This program was born from a desire to redefine continuing education. Having dedicated my career to improving training for mental health professionals, I am proud to be part of this initiative. We aim to connect professionals with exceptional education that creates a lasting impact, making the process easier and more rewarding.”
A More Intelligent Approach to CE Credits
The purpose of continuing education should be to sharpen and expand a practitioner’s skills. However, the reality of finding genuinely valuable CE content can be challenging. While it’s common practice to search for inexpensive courses simply to fulfill requirements, this approach often misses the crucial “education” aspect of continuing education. If you are investing both time and money, choosing a curated collection of CE courses that keeps you at the cutting edge of your field and provides actionable strategies for your practice is a far wiser investment.
Howard Spector, CEO and Co-Founder of SimplePractice, launched Simple Practice Learning to transform how clinicians perceive and engage with CE. “Clinicians often have to wade through countless courses to find the few that are truly impactful,” Howard explains. “Simple Practice Learning’s mission is to eliminate this hurdle by offering carefully selected and thoroughly reviewed content, making it easy to access digestible, valuable material at reasonable prices.”
Beyond the Standard CE Course
Every entrepreneur in a dynamic industry understands the need for continuous learning and adaptation to remain competitive. The mental health profession is no different. A strong and evolving skill set is essential to provide outstanding care, attract new clients, and build a thriving practice.
Simple Practice Learning distinguishes itself by offering courses with high production quality, deep engagement, and a strong emphasis on practical application. Whether you are interested in mastering therapeutic storytelling or need to refresh your knowledge of HIPAA compliance, you can learn from leading experts who are driving educational innovation in the mental health field. The lessons learned in Simple Practice Learning courses are designed for immediate implementation in your practice.
Expanding Your Skillset: Business Courses for Practice Owners
Simple Practice Learning is committed to comprehensive professional development, expanding its offerings beyond traditional CE courses. They are building a library of business and career development courses (non-CE) to support the needs of private practice owners. Courses such as Writing Irresistible Website Copy are just the beginning, with more courses designed to enhance your business acumen being added to the Simple Practice Learning library.
