Moringa makes every effort to make our Continuing Education offerings as user friendly as possible for all participants, regardless of physical, sensory or cognitive ability. Participants may request accommodations to our in-person or on-line offerings upon registration.
Accommodation requests are included as part of the registration process; however, any participant may email Moringa directly to request an accommodation. A lead time of 30 days is requested to guarantee that the accommodation can be provided.
Disclosing a disability is voluntary. Moringa understands that some participants have not made their sponsoring employer aware of their disability status. For privacy reasons, a participant may wish to submit the request without notifying their employer, and Moringa respects that decision. Moringa will not disclose any information related to a disability or a request for accommodation unless permitted by the participant or required by federal law. If the participant opts to maintain confidentiality, then the employer will receive no indication from Moringa that the participant has requested or received an accommodation. The accommodation request will not be recorded in the participant's record.

Grievance

Respectful Resolution Starts Here

The Moringa Institute, a division of Spectra Support Services, LLC, (hereinafter referred to as “Moringa”) is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with the American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists. Moringa will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of Moringa’s Program Administrator in conjunction with the Administration team. The Program Administrator shall assure that the member of the Administrative Team assigned to follow-up to the grievance or complaint does not have a conflict of interest that would impact fair evaluation of the issue and its resolution. Reports to the CE Committee will be made and members of the full committee consulted should the need arise: When a participant, either orally or in written format, files a grievance and expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken:
  • If the grievance concerns a speaker/instructor, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put his/her comments in written format and provide them to the Secretary who will then pass on the comments to speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the grieved individual.
  • If the grievance concerns a workshop offering or program, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, Maleita Olson, LCSW Administrative Team Member will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, any or all of the following may be offered: attempt to move the participant to another workshop or provide a credit for a subsequent year’s workshop or provide a partial or full refund of the workshop fee.
  •  If the grievance concerns Moringa’s CE program, in a specific regard, the CE Chair will attempt to arbitrate.
  •  The above actions will require the Secretary to maintain a record that includes a written note documenting the grievance. The note need not be signed by the grieved individual.
The Grievance Procedure will be made available to all registrants during the registration process and during the program implementation. The procedure shall be posted on the CE Program section of Moringa’s website. While Moringa goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which come to the attention of the program staff, which require intervention and/or action on the part of Moringa. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.

Our CE Program Description & Goals

With a mission of growing knowledge and nurturing lives, we provide education and resources that increase clinical skills of psychologists to serve those with neurodivergence and co-occurring mental health challenges.
Moringa commits to course offerings that help psychologists to meet CE requirements for licensure as well as maintaining professional competence. The audience for these presentations consists of psychologists and allied mental health professionals seeking to deepen understanding of current research, particularly (but not exclusively) in the area of serving individuals with developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental illness.  

The Moringa Institute seeks to fulfill all guidelines set by the American Psychological Association (APA) for continuing education for psychologists including the recognition that “Continuing education (CE) in psychology is an ongoing process consisting of formal learning activities that:
  • are relevant to psychological practice, education and science.;
  • enable psychologists to keep pace with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention and education as well as important legal statutory, or regulatory issues; and
  • allow psychologists to maintain, develop, and increase competencies in order to improve services to the public and enhance contributions to the profession.
The Moringa Institute seeks to provide affordable, quality CE program content to post-doctoral psychologists and allied mental health professionals to further promote learning and implementation of current evidence-based practices. To that end, offerings will meet one of following criteria:
  • develop psychologists’ knowledge base and competency in a particular topic areas; 
  • work toward presenting offerings that increase psychologists’ experience with interdisciplinary approaches; and
  • increase psychologists’ skill set in a particular topic area relating to consulting, assessment, intervention or evaluation.

Mission

The Moringa Institute advances professional excellence by providing psychologists, master’s level clinicians, and students with innovative opportunities to discover and integrate evidence-based practices into their work. Rooted in decades of experience and a commitment to holistic, lifespan-focused care, we strengthen professionals’ knowledge, skills, and frameworks to better serve individuals and communities.
