IDN is Now Offering STARS Credit and Other CEUs for our Training!
IDN IS A WV STARS TRAINING PROVIDER
Through WV STARS (State Training and Registry System), early care and education practitioners are required to receive a continuum of specialized training for certification and career mobility purposes. In order to provide CEUs through STARS, organizations must complete an extensive approval process. Inspiring Dreams Network is now an official STARS entity. We are able to provide continuing education units through www.wvstars.og platform. We have already had 4 trainings approved and awarded credits to several childcare and early education professionals. IDN will continue to seek approval and award STARS credit for our ongoing, qualified training. If your organization needs specific training for your staff, reach out to us.
IDN IS PARTNERING WITH MUSHTAC TO OFFER CEUs
Inspiring Dreams Network is pleased to partner with the Marshall University School Health Technical Assistance Center (MUSCTAC) to offer continuing education units (CEUs) for Licensed Professional Counselors, Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ADC) and Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC). Thanks to partners like Marshall, we are able to bring you the training you need to keep your certification current.

IDN also partnerned with Brenda Issacs and Kanawha County Schools to provide nursing CEUs and Concord College to offer 3 hours college credit for our August Youth Mental Health First Aid Training in Greenbrier County. We excited to continue this for future training opportunities.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT 30 minutes or less
We are excited to offer a new opportunity for our partners... mini info sessions or COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHTS that feature people, programs, and resources to improve youth development in WV. Anyone is welcome to tune in, including youth, families, and the adults who serve youth. Our goal is to support our network to build stronger, more connected communities that engage and inspire youth to reach their potential.
There are so many great programs and resources offered in our service area, but we often don't know how or who to connect with to learn more about them. Our new Community Spotlight series will feature people, programs, and resources you can engage with to better support WV youth. These will be brief and offered through Zoom, usually 30 minutes or less, and offered as Lunch and Learns so you can receive our update while you grab your lunch. Our goal is to record each spotlight and share on our website so our partners can easily access our featured spotlights.
Contact drbarbbrady@inspiringdreamsnetwork.org if you wish to be featured on our Community spotlight.
