2024 Continuing Education Information

The Southeastern School Behavioral Health Conference is proud to offer continuing education credits again this year.

Approved accredited hours are available for Department of Mental Health employees and licensed-professional counselors (LPC and LPC-S), Marriage and Family therapists (LMFT and LMFT-S), Social workers (MSW, LMSW, LISW-CP, LISW-AP) and, Nurses. Additionally this year SSBHC is partnering with the Department of Education to offer recertification credits for South Carolina Educators.Professionals from outside of South Carolina are encouraged to contact their local licensing boards for reciprocity information; the accrediting organizations were chosen in hopes of providing credits to a regional / Southeastern audience. (Note: this conference is an offering of the University of South Carolina, a regionally accredited institution of higher learning, which increases the likelihood of out-of-state approval.)

Accreditation has been received from the following organizations:
❖ National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC)
❖ National Association of Social Workers, South Carolina Chapter (NASW)
❖ South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (SC-LLR)
❖ South Carolina Department of Education (DOE)
❖ South Carolina Area Health Education Center (AHEC)

– All live sessions approved for AHEC, SCDoE, NASW-General, and SSBHC General
– All but Breakout 3J, 2J, and 2E are approved for SCLLR and NBCC
– Sessions 1B,1D, 1F, 2B, 2H, 3A, 3k, 4A, 4B 4C, 4E 5D,5i, 6C,6i are approved for NASW-Social Work

To receive attendance credit:

1. Review the accreditation details for the accrediting organization in the “Continuing Education” section of the “CVENT Events Southeastern School Behavioral Health” app (available in Google Play and iPhone App Stores) or on the Virtual Attendee Hub Website.

2. Verify the session has been approved by the accrediting organization by checking the session categories within the “Schedule” section of the app, program, or Virtual Attendee Hub.

• Note: look for the specific initials of the organization, not the profession. Fields and professions are listed for informational purposes only (E.g., look for “NBCC” to receive “NBCC” credit hours. A track listing with “counselors” but not “NBCC” would not receive any NBCC credit hours.).
• Only live and live-streamed sessions qualify for any NBCC or NASW continuing education credit.
• While most sessions are approved for “NASW general hours,” only certain sessions are approved for “NASW social work hours,” which will be listed as NASW-SW. If a social worker attends and no social work specific hours are awarded, they may claim the time as general hours

3. Attend the Session. All attendees will receive the general SSBHC certificate that will include a space for the attendee to report how many general contact hours they have received (Max: 8 live sessions; XX virtual sessions). This certificate will be appropriate for educators and other professions that require general hours to be reported. If you require NBCC, NASW, SC-DOE, or AHEC specific CE credit, you must sign-in at each session you attend. Email ADVSBH@mailbox.sc.edu to receive a personalized certificate of attendance.
