About CCDS

“CCDS,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to the Center for Clinical Development & Supervision.

Educational Purpose; no clinical relationship; not emergency services

CCDS provides professional education and training. The website content, workshops, and materials are for informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing on our website or in our trainings creates a therapist-client, supervisor-supervisee, medical, legal, or other professional-client relationship between you and CCDS (or any presenter). CCDS does not provide crisis counseling through the website.

If you are experiencing an emergency or are in immediate danger, call 911. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 in the United States (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Services unless otherwise stated for a specific program.

Privacy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Please review it for information about how we collect and use data.

Website use rules (acceptable use)

You agree not to:

  • Use the website in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, servers, or systems

  • Interfere with the website's operation (including introducing malware, scraping, or denial-of-service attacks)

  • Use the website to transmit unlawful, harassing, discriminatory, or abusive content

  • Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting CCDS

We may suspend or restrict access to the website or Services if we believe you have violated these Terms.

Third-party links and services

Our website may link to third-party websites or services (such as Eventbrite, Zeffy, payment processors, or other platforms). Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. CCDS is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third parties.

 

Registrations, donations, and payments processed through third-party platforms may be subject to additional terms imposed by those platforms.

Intellectual property: permitted use of materials

All content on the website and in CCDS trainings, including text, graphics, logos, slide decks, handouts, worksheets, recordings (if any), and other materials, is owned by CCDS or used with permission, and is protected by intellectual property laws.
 

Unless we expressly grant permission in writing, you may not:

  • Copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or sell CCDS materials

  • Share paid training materials with non-registrants

  • Record or redistribute trainings (audio/video/screenshots) without written consent

  • Use the CCDS name or logo in a way that implies endorsement or partnership
     

Permitted personal/professional use: You may use workshop materials for your own learning and internal professional development, and you may reference concepts with appropriate attribution, provided you do not reproduce proprietary materials.

Course Registration and Participation

A. Registration and access
Workshop access is provided to registered participants. You agree to provide accurate registration information.


B. Attendance requirement (including CEUs)

For trainings that offer continuing education credits (CEUs) or certificates of completion, CCDS requires full attendance as a condition of receiving CEUs/certificates, unless a specific training states otherwise.

CCDS may also require completion of evaluations, post-tests, or other documentation as part of CEU/certificate eligibility. CCDS reserves the right to withhold CEUs/certificates if requirements are not met.


C. No refunds (current policy)

CCDS does not currently offer refunds for courses or training. If this policy changes for a particular event, the event listing will state the applicable policy.


D. Changes, cancellation, and rescheduling

We may modify, reschedule, or cancel a course due to low enrollment, presenter availability, technical issues, or other circumstances. If we cancel a course, we will provide notice using the contact information you provided at registration and will describe any available options (such as rescheduling or credit) in that notice.

 

E. Technology requirements

You are responsible for having the necessary technology and internet access to participate in online trainings. CCDS is not responsible for disruptions caused by your equipment, software, or connectivity.

Course Registration and Participation

CCDS may record trainings (in whole or in part) for internal purposes such as quality improvement, facilitator development, documentation, or participant access.
 

If a training is recorded, we will make reasonable efforts to notify participants. Recordings may capture audio, video, chat messages, and on-screen content. Participants should avoid sharing confidential, identifying, or sensitive information (including client/patient identifying information) during recorded portions.

CCDS may limit access to recordings to registered participants and may make recordings available for a limited time.


CCDS does not permit participants to record, reproduce, or redistribute trainings without prior written consent.

Code of Conduct

CCDS is committed to creating a respectful, inclusive, culturally affirming learning environment aligned with our mission and values.

By participating in CCDS trainings, you agree to:

  • Engage respectfully with presenters and participants

  • Avoid harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or demeaning conduct based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, age, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic

  • Maintain confidentiality and privacy when discussing cases or sensitive topics (do not share identifying client information)

  • Follow facilitator instructions for interactive activities and group discussions
