But if you've ever wondered...
 

Am I allowed to use a CEG blog post to guide my students?

Can I use CEG exercises with paying clients, or just in a school setting?

Can I copy and paste CEG content and share it with my email subscribers?

Is the Choose Your Own Essay Adventure tool just for me, or can I share it?

How does attribution work?

What's okay to share, and with whom?

FAQ: Why do we offer a "free" option?
First, we'd love to know how many counselors are using CEG materials; this helps us track that. Also, we want to update you when we release new resources so you've got the latest and greatest.
Note: Licenses renew yearly, but we'll be sure to email you in advance. Cancel anytime.
 
“There have been several occasions when I've been able to go home early and actually make dinner and sit down with my hubby and three daughters and eat together—all because I borrowed an exercise (values and object ones) or copied and pasted an email template. You’ve saved me TIME, which is a precious commodity when you work in a large public school."

Cara Tebo, Bainbridge Island Public School Counselor
