Recap of the 2020 ABMP CE Summit

Connection. Education. Inspiration.

Last year we connected virtually with leaders in the profession to learn tools to help navigate through a unique time. All of the webinars were added to the ABMP Education Center after the event for on-demand viewing and CE.

“This Summit has not only armed me with technical tools and knowledge, inspired me with new ideas, and given me a sense of community, but also relieved my worry about ‘losing my touch’ and anxiety about how I will best be of service to individuals, especially those with complex issues.” —ABMP CE Summit 2020 attendee
