Revision to Petition for Rulemaking
 

Hello Board of Regulatory Town Hall/Department of Health Profession, Board of Social Work, Therapy…

I believe that lowering the requirements to practice would put the field of Behavioral Science and Psychology in a very vulnerable position. I do not believe allowing just anyone with a claim to experience should be able to receive certification. However, I do believe that there may need to be an active (with the intent to change/revise) discussion, about establishing certifications for those who have completed their Bachelors degree, to be able to support licensed providers in a support role.
