ACPE SIP Training Level 1 and 2 with Messiah University (online)
As an ACPE institutional member, Messiah University offers a 3 credit graduate course (COUN535 SIP Training) each Spring and Fall semester that satisfies the SIP training program Level 1 and 2 learning. Because this content is delivered as part of a graduate course, no continuing education CEs are offered.
The SIP training program is a multi-disciplinary, inter-spiritual, multi-racial community of persons gathered for education, connection, and formation in the work of spiritually integrated psychotherapy. It serves licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals (i.e., counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, pastoral counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction specialists, and more), as well as graduate students in any of those disciplines who seek to explore the ways spirituality, religion, and the search for meaning influence their own lives and the lives of their clients.
