CERTIFIED PROVIDER PATH

Upon completion of the coursework, students will offer counseling to a SWer for 12 sessions, pro bono, and attend group supervision once a month for 3 months, and be listed in our Provider Directory page as a "Certified Provider." If you choose this path, we ask that you share your professional or personal website, or social media to verify your adherence to our etiquette and expectations policy.

ECC will refer this client through our parent organization, sex worker-led, Zepp Wellness Center. ECC will meet with each client after their care to discuss your competence in session. Once your direct service & supervision hours are complete and we’ve met with the clients, you will be added to our Provider Directory for two years.

ACCESSIBILITY

All of our courses will include live captioning. If further accessibility tools are needed don't hesitate to reach out!
