If you’re a social worker in Texas and North Carolina, absolutely! I know what they require because I’m licensed in those states.

For other states, check with your state licensing board for more definitive information and specific requirements.

This CEU is not pre-approved by any state or organization.

Per Texas Board of Social Work Examiners (Title 22, Part 34, Chapter 781, Subchapter C, Rule §781.501), Texas views CEUs given by council-approved Supervisors as in the same category as CEUs given by national organizations like the NASW. )

(For more background: approval processes can cost hundreds of dollars. Usually, only CEUs that would recoup these fees go through this process. If I were to get national certification for a class, I probably would not be able to offer it for free.)

All CEUs are held online.

The CEU is live.

Yes! The platform used is compatible with live captions. Instructions to enable them will be provided when given session information.

As a general policy, I don't share my full slides. I want to encourage people to attend the CEUs. Being a healthcare provider can be incredibly isolating, especially if you’re in private practice. I want to build a space where you can see that other people care about the same things you do.

Teaching and providing these CEUs is a passion project, and I’m always trying to strike a balance between information accessibility and building community.

Some specific CEUs, such as ARFID and Autism and MLMs: An Ethical Trap, do provide modified versions of some slides to help participants review examples.

The class will not be recorded.

If you feel like recording the class may be a helpful accommodation in your own learning, you may record the class for your own personal review.

To protect the privacy of other workshop members, any use of recordings other than personal review by the CEU participant is not allowed.

All CEUs are lead by Kimberly Vered Shashoua, LCSW.

After getting Bachelors Degrees in Neuroscience and Psychology, Kimberly went on to get a Master's in Social Work. Kimberly's work has won numerous awards and accolades, including publication in a scientific journal as a sole author while in graduate school.

Kimberly's wisdom, insight, and wit have made them a highly sought-after speaker and educator. Their insights have appeared in USA Today, the LA Times, and at the Game Developer's Conference.

Kimberly specializes in complexity. Patients who are medically frail, suicidal, and/or have severe and persistent mental illness can find support at Vered Counseling.

Kimberly also has a decade of experience working with transgender and neurodivergent youth.

While there is no penalty for missing a free CEU, we ask that you do not sign up for sessions you are not planning on attending.

We use registration counts to determine when to close the class to new sign ups (and offer a new section instead).

All the CEUs are Ethics CEUs. They involve discussing ethical failures and reflecting on how we need to change in order to meet a higher ethical standard.

The Developing an Ethical Framework CEU has a specific content warning related to the intensity of ethical challenges described.

Additionally, all CEUs will include profanity. I follow the George Carlin school of determining what is profane.

(I was trying to think of some folksy euphemism for profanity, but I’ve got nothing. One of my grandmothers regularly left accidental voicemails cursing at technology. My other grandmother didn’t speak English very well, but loved watching The Jerry Springer Show on maximum volume. The heel turn is my birthright; someone pass me a folding chair.)
