Are you looking for training for yourself, your colleagues, staff, or community group? The TTI Training Department can help you! We offer a full range of training and staff development opportunities for individuals working in or touched by the behavioral health (mental health) system. Need continuing education units/credits? We may be able to help you there too.

Our trainings and workshops are offered by highly qualified instructors who strive to meet the diverse needs of adults in the behavioral health workforce and to the community at large. Courses range from beginning to advanced clinical topics, federal/state/county mandated trainings, personal development/enrichment classes, and many others. Most are open to the public. Training and enrichment opportunities are published both annually in our Training Opportunities brochure and quarterly as part of our Training Calendar. While most trainings are scheduled at the TTI Training Center in Troy, Michigan, the vast majority of them can also be scheduled at your site or a community site. Do not hesitate to ask!
