6.0 CEs for LCSW/LSW and LCPC/LPC

Do you want to see yourself and others with compassion? Do you want to learn to communicate so others can hear you? Do you want to enhance your communication skills personally and professionally? This class offers an introductory, foundational understanding of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a powerful approach developed by Marshall Rosenberg that fosters empathy and connection. Students will learn to express their feelings and needs clearly while also listening to others with compassion. Through interactive activities, role-playing, and group discussions, participants will explore the four components of NVC: observations, feelings, needs, and requests. By the end of the two workshops, students will begin to develop practical skills for resolving conflicts peacefully, enhancing relationships, and creating a more empathetic community. Join us in cultivating a culture of understanding and respect!


This is a two-part training (April 4 and April 11) worth a total of 6.0 CE hours for LCSW/LSW and LCPC/LPC in the state of Illinois – you are required to attend and pass both post-tests to receive 6.0 CEUs. By completing this registration, you are committing to attending both events.
