CREOKS provides spring and fall continuing education workshops that promote life-long learning for behavioral health professionals. In collaboration with Northeastern State University, our innovative programs take place on the NSU-Broken Arrow Campus, and are designed to ensure a high quality learning experience in a professional environment.

CREOKS is dedicated to professional training that is culturally competent and sensitive to the needs of our diverse clientele. Our workshops are grounded in clinically relevant, evidence-based best practices, and taught by leaders in the behavioral health profession. Our courses are approved by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Social Workers, the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors, and the state Board of Behavioral Health Licensure (BBHL) for Licensed Professional Counselors & Licensed Marital & Family Therapists.
