If you need ICDVP CEUs, please indicate it clearly in your registration, and later in your evaluation. Please click here for our CEU issuance policy; this is an important document for you to review if you are requesting CEUs. This training will give 2 CEUs for ICDVP and/or social work for each training in this series at no cost to member organization staff. Please note that it will take 3 weeks from completion of the training to issue CEU certificates.
