Online CEUs - Benefits for MFTs

It is very difficult and at the same time invigorating being a Marriage and Family Therapist. There are many hurdles to leap along the way. Those hurdles may include a psychotic episode of a client, extraordinary time demands of one's family, getting a claim paid by a client's insurance company, generating new referrals, or just finding some personal time. Even though these are all common among most Marriage and Family Therapists (yet not all), there is one hurdle that all MFTs must encounter, continuing education.

MFT continuing education does not have to be a chore. In fact, most states have allowed their MFTs to acquire much of their required CEUs online. This is good news! Online CE has become a more reliant and beneficial way of obtaining one's CE units. Most of the mystic of the internet has faded and people are more apt to use it on a regular basis. This is true with earning CE credit as well.

There are three main benefits of online MFT continuing education:

Number one benefit is time. The considerable time spent going away for a conference is extensive. Time that may have been better utilized in other areas. Time is a precious commodity, not to be dealt with lightly, but to be used properly. Online CE frees up time normally spent traveling away to be applied to more important areas.

Saving money is the second benefit of online CE. It costs a lot to travel to a workshop. It's a compilation of travel expense, hotels, dining, etc. When you earn your CEUs online, you do so at home. No travel expense, which means money saved.

The third benefit is the reduction of stress. Travel always adds more stress. There are many components that have a tendency to go awry. These variables are eliminated when all you have to do is pull out your laptop or get on your desktop to take a course. The process is made easier. This eliminates stress. We already have plenty of stress in our lives. Stress reduction should be our goal. Achieving your online CE reduces stress while still accomplishing the requirements of continuing education.
