Why Choose Our Membership?

Cost-Effective Learning

An annual subscription to our CEU Membership costs significantly less than one traditional training course. Consider this: securing 20 CEUs from standard training sessions typically costs $500 or significantly more. With the E³ Initiative, not only do you have the opportunity to gain the same amount of CEUs at a fraction of the price, but you also have access to a plethora of additional benefits over the course of the year. 

Collaborative and Continuous Learning

Traditional professional education ends once the conference is over, but we believe in continuous learning. Our model fosters ongoing growth by providing members with regular meetings, news updates, monthly educational and case consultation opportunities within an active community for collaboration. 

Stay Ahead of the Curve

The E³ Initiative isn’t just about earning CEUs, it’s about pioneering the future of professional development in the field of mental health and well-being for exceptional experiencers which is undergoing rapid change, and the news and resources are often hard to find. 

Be at the vanguard of this specialty with others seeking to provide innovative services that are in high demand. Join a rare network of colleagues who believe in progressive learning and collaboration to better serve exceptional experiencers.
