Description
**This course will provide the participant with 1.5 General Learning Type BACB® CEUs**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: This CEU will go over how our behaviors, eating habits, and activity levels impact all work together to determine our mental health, what is reinforcing or punishing, and our motivation levels.
