COVID-19 Update
At this time, all Ferentz Institute workshops are conducted online via Zoom. Please email Gerri Baum at [email protected] if you have any questions.
We do not offer recorded versions of our online trainings. Our online classes must be live, interactive, and held in real-time, as required by the Maryland Board of Social Work, so that participants may receive the essential Category 1 CEUs that we provide.
The Ferentz Institute offers continuing education workshops for mental health professionals on a wide range of clinical topics including: treatment of trauma survivors; eating disorders and other self-injurious behaviors; addiction; dissociative disorders in children and adults; couples counseling; professional self-care and burnout; the challenges of adolescence and professional ethics. Our informative and experiential workshops provide clinicians with current theory, tools for assessment, evaluation and diagnosis, as well as strategies for creative and effective treatment. Network with colleagues, learn and grow together in a warm, nurturing, professional environment.Instructions for joining your class on Zoom, along with all applicable PowerPoint presentations and handouts, will be emailed to you the day prior to your class(es).
All trainings can be used for CEUs by Social Workers, LCPCs, MFTs and Psychologists.Cancellation Policy
The Institute has the right to cancel any workshop due to insufficient registration, inclement weather, presenter’s illness or problems at the training site. Whenever possible, registrants who have already signed up will be given a week’s notice via email. They will have the option of either receiving a full refund or applying whatever fees they have already paid to any future training of their choice. No refund will be issued if no payment has been made. In addition, all registrants will be given a $25.00 discount off any future workshop to compensate for any inconvenience the cancelation creates.
When a registrant has signed up and paid for a training and either needs to cancel in advance or is unable to attend due to personal conflicts, no refund will be issued. However, the registrant can apply all of their payment to any future training of their choice.
