This course is open to Certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialists and peer workforce supervisors seeking continuing education hours. By submitting a registration form, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Registration requires payment of the applicable course fee. Enrollment is confirmed upon payment processing and issuance of a registration confirmation from e-registration@kindfulrestoration.com. Each monthly cohort accommodates up to 25 participants for in-person delivery and up to 25 participants for remote learning, for a combined maximum of 50 participants per cohort. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. If a cohort reaches capacity prior to registration, registrants are offered placement in the next available monthly cohort.
To receive a Certificate of Attendance and 8 CE hours, participants must: (a) attend 100% of the 8 live instructional hours; (b) complete all required in-session learning activities, including knowledge checks, skills practice, and a personal action plan; (c) demonstrate respectful, professional engagement throughout the course; and (d) submit the post-training participant evaluation form. The total student time commitment is 8 hours of live instruction, all of which count toward CE credit.
A maximum of one live session may be made up through a 1:1 instructor review session, arranged in advance. The participant must submit a written reflection summary covering the missed content. All make-up work must be submitted within 3 calendar days of the original due date, unless an emergency extension is approved by the instructor.
Participants unable to continue their cohort may request a Leave of Absence by emailing e-registration@kindfulrestoration.com. Approved participants may re-enroll in any available cohort within 6 months at no additional cost. Those who do not re-enroll within this window must submit a new registration and pay the applicable fee. Partial CE credit is not awarded — participants must complete all 8 instructional hours to receive a Certificate of Attendance.
