Continuing Education Event Applications

PCIT International can provide CE approval for your trainings so they will count towards PCIT Therapists’ and Trainers’ recertification requirements. PCIT International is also approved by the American Psychological Association as a sponsor for continuing education (CE) credits.

We are currently working to standardize continuing education event applications. Applications for dates after February 1, 2023 will potentially have to be re-submitted. The website will be continuously monitored as we have more information to share, and please email pcit.ce@gmail.com with any questions.

Important Notes:

Please make sure to submit your application at least TWO MONTHS prior to the event to give:
1. Reviewers sufficient time to review
2. Event organizers time to respond to the reviewers’ edits
Please add this statement to your advertisements while your application is awaiting approval:
1. " CEs for PCIT Therapists and Psychologists are pending approval from PCIT International."
CEs are $15 per attendee for 1 CE and $35 per attendee for > 1 CE. Event organizers must make their cumulative CE event payment via PayPal at paypal.me/PCITInt or send ONE check for the event to Melanie Nelson at:
