- Be a Better Man Movement and Honest Sexuality Movement (HSM)
- Level 3, Modules 9-12, are based more dominantly on Dr. Minwalla’s voice, clinical experience, research, and his grounded theory teachings, so currently, no CE is offered by the APA for Level 3.
- All CE are offered per module, not per level.
