Present a PETES

The Professional Expressive Therapy Education Sessions (PETES) are provided by the HMHI Expressive Therapy Department. PETES provides free continuing education (CE) credits to current employees and alumni, with a long-term vision to expand access to the broader community through paid registration. The program aims to provide 10 CE sessions a fiscal year – 4 of which will be Zero Suicide, provided by another department at HMHI, which counts toward any suicide prevention training requirements for credential maintenance. These sessions primarily serve art, music, and recreational therapists, though other healthcare professionals such as social workers and physicians occasionally attend. Presentations are 60-90 mins and can expect around 10-20 attendees.
