Workshops
With Kolleen's background as a teacher, you can count on activities and interactions to keep the participants engaged and learning! Each participant will receive handouts they will complete and can take with them to reinforce and remind them of what they learned.
If there is a topic you don't see listed, just ask Kolleen if she has anything available on the topic you have in mind. If she doesn't, she will pull together materials in time for the date(s) you need her.
Ethical Issues in Counseling Live and In-person Workshop is Back! (Webinar is also Available!)
DATES: Friday, May 3, 2024 noon - 4:30 p.m. CST
LOCATION: Conference Room at Wilshire Business Suites, 4830 Wilshire Blvd, Lincoln, NE.
This program is for mental health practitioners and has now been expanded to meet the criteria of 4 CEs in Ethics for mental health practice.
The change to 4 hours meets the new Nebraska Licensure requirements as of July 12, 2021. It is our professional responsibility to deal with ethical issues on a daily basis in the mental health field which is the reason the licensure board now requires 4 CEs every 2 years.
This Workshop will help you meet your requirements and have some fun while addressing various ethical issues, including the new Nebraska Regulations as of July 12, 2021 and Telehealth requirements as this was the hot topic during the pandemic. What platforms can I use? Will insurance cover telehealth? We will also discuss the Counseling Compact and the “No Surprises Act” which surprised most of us. Do you have questions about an ethical situation that you have encountered? Are you aware of ethical issues such as having a professional will or how records should be handled? What about legal situations? We will discuss these issues, as well as many others.
The training will offer participants an opportunity to discuss specific ethical dilemmas, ethical decision making, understanding clinician and client boundaries, legal and liability issues, risk reduction and limitations of treatment. We will review the ethical guidelines of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) as they relate to the issues that the participants want to address. We will cover as much as we can in 4 hours.
Seating is limited to 12 per session to allow for more discussion in a personal setting. By keeping the training small there will be ample time to review ethical principles, assist with ethical decision making and encourage self-awareness.
This is what other attendees had to say:
“Best and most helpful ethics training I've been to! Thanks!”
“I would recommend the Ethics Training to other people in my field. It was enjoyable!”
“The ethics training was unique and informal and I would recommend it!”
“I enjoyed this and the cost.”
“Nice building/setting. Please provide future small trainings.”
“Great experience and very informative.”
The cost is $120 per person and is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend the date that you registered for, you will be allowed to attend a different workshop or webinar date. Call if you want to pay by check or cash instead of paying online.
This program is being facilitated by Kolleen Meyer-Krikac, MSEd, LMHP, LPC, NCC

How to Create Your Balanced Life for Counselors (6 CE) - Available as Webinar
DATE: To Be Announced 9:00-4:00 p.m. with 1 hour lunch break
LOCATION: Conference Room at Wilshire Business Suites, 4830 Wilshire Blvd., Lincoln, NE
Do you sometimes feel drained from helping others? Do you ever feel like you are great at helping others but are not so good at following through on your recommendations to your clients? Creating balance for yourself may not be as easy as helping someone else to find it. It is easier to remain objective when you are the "helper" vs. the "helpee". As counselors, we are great at helping others to see their blind spots, but we don't always recognize when we may need a tune-up.
Kolleen published her book, How to Create Your Balanced Life in September 2017 and will use it as a spring board to focus on counselors (helping professionals) and their unique circumstances in finding balance. Take time out from giving to others and join us for this fun and relaxing workshop, earning 6 CEs while you do it!
Seating is limited so register now before it fills up! Materials will be supplied. Feel free to bring food as it is during the supper hour.
The cost is $150 per person. This workshop meets the requirements for 6 CEs for licensed mental health practitioners. Register above or call Kolleen at 402-499-5547 for more information!
