INTRODUCING TURNING POINT ACADEMY

Turning Point Behavioral Health Care Center is an award-winning agency that has been providing expert, affordable, and compassionate outpatient mental health services to children, adolescents, adults and families in the Chicagoland area for 50 years.

We are pleased to introduce Turning Point Academy, providing professional development seminars for our colleagues in the fields of social work, counseling, clinical psychology, and marriage and family therapy.

This series of professional development seminars offers engaging and practical learning experiences while providing valuable opportunities for fulfilling in-person CEU requirements.

We look forward to welcoming you, our colleagues in the field, to Turning Point and providing you with practical information, encouragement, and continuing motivation for the important work that you do.

INTELLIGENT AND RELEVANT

Turning Point Academy brings you thoughtful, inspiring speakers, known for their clinical work and for their attention to important issues. We know these individuals, have heard them present, and are very excited to bring them and their expertise to you through Turning Point Academy.

COMFORTABLE AND CONDUCIVE

Our Skokie facility offers spacious meeting rooms and a welcoming environment for learning. Seminar size is limited so you will have ample opportunity to interact with speakers and colleagues. A limited amount of free parking is available in the lot behind our building and the Oakton CTA stop is just a five-minute walk away.
