As part of the CEU requirements, ALL Traditional Health Workers (THWs) seeking certification renewal are required to complete at least three (3) hours of Suicide Prevention training.

CEUs may be received from

  • OHA approved THW CEU training programs; you can find a list of OHA approved CEU trainings on our THW Training Programs webpage
  • Additonal trainings offered by OHA approved THW training programs
  • Any other OHA approved training or event
  • Any educational hours that support the individual THW's scope of work

**Note: If you are unsure if a training meets CEU requirements for your worker type, please email a brief description of the training and the training name to THW.Program@oha.oregon.gov for approval.


Continuing education hours taken in excess of the total number required may not be carried over to the next renewal period.
