CEU Credits are Now Available for our Central Ohio Mental Health Professionals CEU Luncheons

We are thrilled that with the start of 2025, we are now offering Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for our Central Ohio Mental Health Professionals CEU Luncheons!

While last year’s luncheons were a great success, we’re even more excited to enhance the value of these events by providing an official opportunity for attendees to earn CEU credits, allowing them to further their professional development while enjoying a meaningful experience.

The luncheons have always been a fantastic way for local mental health professionals to network, learn from experts, and grow together, but now they also serve as a gateway to continuing education. This new addition aligns perfectly with our goal of providing professionals with not just a social gathering, but also a space where they can leave with tangible benefits that contribute to their careers.

Our CEU provider, Strongblossom, Inc., is an approved provider of continuing education by the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. This ensures that the CEUs offered through our luncheons are recognized and valuable to counselors, social workers, and marriage/family therapists. Strongblossom is a company founded by Michelle Risser, who has a long history of providing top-notch training and coaching for mental health professionals, and we are proud to be partnering with her to bring this new opportunity to our attendees.

She is a certified EMDR therapist and has advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. In addition to providing counseling services, Michelle also offers clinical and business consulting, burnout coaching, and continuing education for mental health professionals.

Michelle’s diverse experience in the field includes working with homeless teens, providing drug and alcohol counseling, and supporting individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Her background has given her a unique perspective on the challenges faced by both clients and professionals, and she’s passionate about helping others overcome burnout and diversify their income sources. Michelle’s holistic approach to mental health and her dedication to supporting other mental health professionals make her an ideal CEU provider for our luncheons.

Why CEUs Matter

By offering CEU credits, we are helping Central Ohio mental health professionals stay current with the latest practices, skills, and research, which is essential for maintaining licensure and growing in their careers. But more than that, it’s about empowering our community to provide the best possible care for their clients. The knowledge gained through our luncheons and the CEU opportunities will give attendees tools and strategies they can immediately apply in their practices.

As we look forward to upcoming luncheons, we’re excited to continue offering high-quality presentations on a variety of topics that will help mental health professionals thrive. We are committed to fostering a space where learning and professional growth are combined with connection and community. Whether you're looking to stay on top of the latest trends, gain practical tools for your practice, or simply meet like-minded professionals, our CEU luncheons are designed to support you in your work and in your growth as a clinician.
