Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

Trainings and workshops can be created upon request to fit your specific needs and questions. You may gather a small group of parents or colleagues, and Dr. Katen will design a customized session to support and empower you.
About IM Learning Institute
IM Learning Institute was established by Individual Matters, LLC, in recognition of the growing need for professional education and development opportunities on Colorado’s Western Slope. For many years, Individual Matters has delivered high quality trainings and workshops to parents, educators, and clinicians in the Grand Junction area. By expanding on this tradition, IM Learning Institute:
-
Delivers continuing education units (CEUs) and professional development hours (PDHs) opportunities across western Colorado.
-
Taps into the deep wellspring of experts who live and work on the Western Slope.
-
Creates meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences that integrate local values and realities.
Local, Convenient, Fun
Historically, parents, teachers, clinicians, medical providers, and other professionals on the Western Slope have had to travel to Denver or Salt Lake City to obtain needed education and training – options that are both expensive and time-consuming. While virtual formats help to alleviate time and financial burdens, these inherently lack the personal care and connection of in-person experiences, not to mention familiarity with the issues facing western Colorado residents.
​
To address this situation, the IM Learning Institute offers a new and exciting menu of local, in-person trainings and workshops that also fulfill CEU and PDH requirements. We collaborate with Western Slope experts to create valuable, interesting, and entertaining workshops that also serve as excellent opportunities for attendees to market their services and build referral networks. Events are hosted at our beautiful Grand Junction office and other locations across western Colorado.
Tailored to Your Needs
Topic and scope of IM Learning Institute trainings and workshops vary by need and industry. A spectrum of price, length, and location options are available from which to choose.
