For Professionals

Wayside offers regular educational opportunities to professionals working with women, children and families affected by mental health and substance use disorder.

Earn Continuing Education Units (CEU) through Wayside

Wayside offers several Minnesota Board-approved continuing education opportunities. Our Fourth Friday Forums are a monthly, virtual seminar series for SUD and mental health professionals and advocates. Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a collaborative movement within substance use disorder and mental health education that allows providers to access the knowledge of their peers around the country. The ECHO tele-mentoring model allows the clinical community to provide better care to more people in more places. Wayside hosts a Women Services ECHO and collaborates with partners on Peer Support and Indigenous Women Wellness ECHOs. All ECHO sessions offer free CEU credits.
