Continuing Education

For many years, AGAPE has provided training modules for mental health professionals and students through our Therapy Training Institute. These courses provide opportunities for mental health professionals to enhance their skills in specific areas while earning continuing education (CE) credits. CE credits are provided through Lipscomb University’s master’s degree program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. 

Our upcoming course offerings are listed below.

If you are unable to attend a session for which you have registered, you may request a refund up to one (1) day in advance. Refunds are provided at AGAPE’s discretion. AGAPE reserves the right to cancel training sessions for which there are insufficient registrations or due to bad weather, instructor illness or other unforeseen circumstances. Refunds will be provided in these circumstances for those who are registered for single sessions.
