Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts in January, 2019 and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
How do you deal with liability issues for mental health practitioners?
You’ll make it clear that you aren’t giving medical advice and that your clients medical decisions are entirely up to them. You’ll have them sign disclamers. If/when you are licensed you will need liability insurance either way and I’d recommend if your clients are getting off meds, you make sure they have a doctor assisting them. You are supporting their decision, but never telling them what to do or giving medical advice. You can still use all of the course content to support them, in making their own medical decisions with their doctor, and doing it as safely and effectively as possible.
