Continuing Education

Note: This is a 2-day CE session: Friday, April 17 – Saturday, April 18, 2026.
4/17 9:00AM-3:30PM
4/18 9:00AM-3:30PM

This course offers full credit only. No partial credit will be awarded; attendance for all two days is required to receive CE units.

The training is structured to encourage and allow discussion and sharing of ideas. Active participation is required to receive a CE certificate. Please ensure your microphone and camera are working.

This follow-up Solution-Focused Brief Therapy training is an extension of the level 1 course. The level 1 course covered the foundations of the Solution-Focused (SF) model and the 7 solution-focused interventions.  This training expands on these and provides more opportunities for practice and discussion. 

NOTE: This program is part of a two-session mini-series on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Each session is a stand-alone offering — participants may register individually or attend both for a total of 6.0 Continuing Education Credits (CEs). The presenter has requested that all participants keep their camera and audio on (and working) throughout the session to support a highly interactive learning experience.

This continuing education course explores cutting-edge applications of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) using transdiagnostic and process-based approaches that reflect the latest developments in evidence-based practice. Participants will examine how CBT demonstrates large effect sizes for major depression, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, with very large effect sizes for PTSD and specific phobia. 

Important Information Before You Register: 

• This session is limited to 20 participants. 
• All attendees must register, whether joining in person or online, and whether seeking CE credit or not. 
• This is a highly interactive group discussion, not a lecture or formal presentation. Active participation is required to receive a CE certificate. Please ensure your microphone and camera are working.

When a client says, “I’m depressed most of the time,” the next ten seconds can shape the entire session. How do you choose what to say next? Join us for a discussion focused on identifying "clinical opportunities" within everyday utterances. We’ll have fun and play with ideas.

This continuing education course provides comprehensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), examining current innovations and evidence-based applications for emotion dysregulation across diverse populations and settings. Participants will explore DBT's evolution from treatment for borderline personality disorder and suicidality to broader applications including PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

Note: There will be no individual CE programs offered in May, as NASW-NY will be hosting the 1st Annual Continuing Education (CE) Conference.

The NASW-NY CE Conference is a statewide gathering of social workers, educators, advocates, and students to learn, share, and collaborate in pursuit of a just future for our profession and the communities we serve. This year’s theme, One New York, One Voice: Reimagining Social Work for a Just Future, emphasizes solidarity, systems change, and the power of community voice.

NOTE: FREE CE for NASW-NY Members. In honor of Pride Month.

This presentation addresses the Legal Determinants of Health framework to show the impact of law and policy effects upon LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing.

Laws exist in all 50 states, and at the federal level, aimed to protect older adults from maltreatment at the hands of their families and other caretakers. Many different types of professionals are required by law to make reports of suspected elder abuse to state governmental entities. Additionally, codes of ethics generally expect helping professionals to initiate a response to protect the vulnerable from harm.
