Please join us for our professional counselor meeting
If you are a professional or licensed counselor, social worker, or therapist, please join us for coffee and dessert on Friday night at 8:30 p.m. in Room 16-17. This hour-long time together will provide discussion on how conference presentations relate to specific issues you face in your practice.
General Info
You may be able to apply to your state for CEU credit on an individual basis, and we will gladly provide documentation of your attendance as well as other information that is required in the application process (session descriptions, speaker bios, etc.). Some states require individual applications to be filed before the first day of the conference. Please check with your board to confirm the requirements.
If we have applied to receive CEU credits in your state, please remember that we cannot guarantee what a state’s professional licensure board will do with our application. Below is a table which lists states to which CCEF has applied and status of the application.
The term “Board” is used to pertain to a Board of Counseling unless otherwise indicated. For other Boards (Social Work, Licensed Addictions, etc.) the attendee should contact their specific board to determine the requirements of obtaining credit.
State |
Status |
IOWA |
The Bureau of Professional Licensure does not pre-approve continuing education providers, sponsors or individual programs. It is the licensees’ responsibility to determine if the continuing education programs they attend meet the requirements of their professional licensure board. For application materials visit the CEU Table at the conference. |
KENTUCKY |
Approved for 21.0 hours for LPCA and LPCC. |
MINNESOTA |
Attendees with a LPC or LPCC license can apply to the MN Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy using this form along with a copy of the schedule and speakers’ bios. You must submit a completed application at least 60 days prior to the start date of the continuing education activity to guarantee a decision prior to the start date. If your application is received within 60 days, it will still be considered for approval, but approval may not be granted until after the activity has been held. Information on seminar topics and presenter qualifications can be found on the Conference website. Last year, for the 2015 National conference, some applicants received 24.5 CEU credits for making such application. Award of CEU credits cannot be guaranteed by CCEF because applications are subject to Board discretion. |
MONTANA |
Approved for 19.5 hours under course approval number SWP/MFT/LAC-0511-2016 |
OHIO |
Application for 18.5 CEUs for counselors, social workers, and MFTs is pending approval. Last year the application was approved.

See CEU table at the conference for more details. |

COLORADO |
Colorado does not appear to allow CCEF to be a pre-approved provider of CEUs for the conference. Attendees from CO should check with the State Board on how to apply for credit as an attendee of the conference. The CEU Administrator, Kellie Sironi, will have Certificate of Attendance Forms and additional information on speaker biographies, schedules, and course descriptions, if the Board requires this information to be submitted. Some states require application materials to be submitted before the conference begins. |
ILLINOIS |
CCEF is not an Illinois approved sponsor but CCEF has learned that IL may accept an attendee’s application for credit for attending the National Conference because it has been approved in other States (MT being one of them). Attendees should contact the Board to find out what is required. The State in which the conference is held (TN) does not list CCEF as an approved provider. The application form can be obtained from the Board (try this link as well: https://www.idfpr.com/Renewals/Apply/forms/f1797pcc.pdf) and would require the following to be obtained from the CEU Administrator, Kellie Sironi: 1. an outline of the content of the program/main sessions & workshops |
MICHIGAN |
The Board has represented that if the Conference is approved by another State’s Board of Social Work it will be approved by MI. Attendees wanting credit from MI Board of SW should contact that Board directly to verify this information. The CEU Administrator can provide attendees with another State’s approval code. Attendees should ensure that when he/she obtains a Certificate of Attendance from the CEU Administrator this information about the other State’s approval statement appears on the Certificate of Attendance, which is required by MI. |
VIRGINIA |
CCEF is not affiliated with an organization approved by VA Board of Counselors. To get credit for the conference each VA attendee must obtain a Certificate of Attendance from the CEU Administrator, Kellie Sironi, and individually determine if the conference meets “the requirements of the regulations” 18VAC115-20-106, which states: A. Continuing competency activities must focus on increasing knowledge or skills in one or more of the following areas: 1. Ethics, standards of practice or laws governing behavioral science professions; |
Special Note: |
In States for which pre-approval has not been obtained by start of the conference: CCEF cannot guarantee a pending application will be approved. We also cannot guarantee, unless pre-approval is granted, that any specific board will accept or approve your application for credit as an attendee. We are happy to provide with you the application materials we use, including the Certificate of Attendance (visit the CEU Booth at the Conference), but it is up to you to confirm before you attend the Conference whether or not your board will award CEU credit for each session. |
Check back as we get closer to the conference! We will update State approvals and add information on other states. |
