Magellan Health Offers Online Learning Tools

Magellan Health Services Inc. is offering therapists a new online learning center designed to reinforce resiliency and recovery principles. The Magellan Resiliency and Recovery e-Learning Center enables consumers, families, and providers to effectively apply the principles of hope, choice, empowerment, and education to help achieve individual behavioral health goals.

The e-Learning Center offers broad access and greater convenience than traditional on-site learning programs, and without the expense. It's a free resource that currently hosts 10 interactive "e-courses" in Spanish and English, offering in-depth strategies and techniques for promoting resiliency and recovery. The e-courses include testimonials of personal experiences that provide motivation and each can be completed in 30-45 minutes.

Magellan providers are able to receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for completing the e-courses. Magellan is approved as a continuing education provider/sponsor by the American Psychological Association, Association of Social Work Boards, National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors, and the National Board of Certified Counselors.
