Are you a comprehensive program?

 

We provide numerous CEU opportunities, including 72 live, synchronous hours spread across three weekends per year, along with additional trainings and asynchronous hours throughout the year. We meet all the live-hour requirements set by AASECT.

​

However, we’ve intentionally chosen not to offer a comprehensive program because we don’t believe in charging students for knowledge they’ve already acquired. Let us explain: Think about your previous graduate or post-graduate work, or any other relevant training that could count toward your AASECT Education Units. If these trainings meet AASECT’s requirements, we’ll make sure they work to your advantage!

​

Do you provide Supervision?

​

We are passionate about providing supervision, and we’re so committed to it that we offer a significant discount on all our trainings to support you on your professional journey. With years of experience, we’re dedicated to sharing our knowledge, insights, and, importantly, our humility. Yes, humility. Our supervision model is rooted in care and support, designed to encourage and uplift you both as professionals and as individuals.

​

Do you provide a SAR? What is a SAR?

​

While we occasionally offer a SAR, we strongly support the valuable work of our colleagues. We believe in the power of networking and encourage you to seek out SAR experiences with other providers. This approach also extends to earning additional CEUs as you work toward certification—broadening your learning through diverse sources benefits your professional growth.

​

A Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) is a key component of training for sexuality educators, counselors, and therapists, as defined by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). It is designed to help professionals explore their own attitudes, values, and beliefs about sexuality in a safe and structured environment. A SAR typically involves exposing participants to a wide range of sexual behaviors, orientations, identities, and expressions, often through media such as films, discussions, and case studies. The goal is not to provide clinical training or technical skills, but to promote self-awareness, reduce personal biases, and encourage participants to reflect on how their own attitudes may influence their professional work with clients.

​

By immersing participants in a variety of sexual experiences, SARs help individuals challenge preconceived notions, confront discomfort, and develop a more open and non-judgmental approach to discussing and addressing sexual topics with clients. The ultimate aim is to foster empathy and promote a more inclusive, client-centered practice.

What is the FIELD Growth Scholarship?

​

NWIOI is committed to expanding sex-therapy, sex-counseling, and sex-education fields by offering a Field Growth Scholarship. This discounted rate is available to those who hold marginalized and intersectional identities, express financial need, and are not well represented in the sexuality fields. This rate exists to offset the oppressive effects to those who are most affected under the white supremacist, capitalist systems within which we all operate.

​

What is the cost of the program?

​

Below are the costs for enrolling in our program. As mentioned earlier, we are not a comprehensive program, so there will be some educational gaps—specifically 51 CEUs. By working with your primary supervisor, we can help identify any remaining CEUs you may need. Keep in mind, you can apply some of your graduate or post-graduate work, as well as other CEUs, if they meet AASECT requirements. Any qualified education units, will reduce the number of education units remaining.  Additionally, attending an AASECT conference in the next 18 months will provide more CEUs. There's no need to pay for units you’ve already earned or will soon earn.
