Trainings by Topic

CMMHC offers training for professionals such as teachers, therapists, county workers, and others who reach out. We also conduct community presentations for our region's schools, service organizations, and businesses. Topics are relevant to children, youth, adults, and families, focusing on healthier mental and chemical health for our community. Experienced CMMHC staff lead each training/presentation at your organization’s address or location of your choosing. Presentations average 1 ½ - 2 hours in length. Cost is approximately $190/hr.

CMMHC staff regularly engage in Professional Development training, and we occasionally invite the general public to participate. We will communicate these opportunities on social media, CMMHC’s events calendar, and other appropriate avenues. The cost and sign-up method are shared when the training is announced.
