I submitted this petition because some, not all, QMHP's indeed have the knowledge and educational background that would make licensing QMHP's a good idea. There are other fields such as Licensed Bachelor/Masters Level Social Workers w/o the clinical piece. There are also LBA's and BCBA's. My reasoning for this petition is because there are plenty of areas in which QMHP's are experts and should be able to be licensed to practice in those specific areas only. We can't even provide Anger Management or Batterers Intervention without a license yet we can do skill-building, write ISP's, create behavior intervention plans and so forth. I am not asking that QMHP's be allowed to practice in areas in which they are not experts. I am not asking that you license Bachelors level QMHP's either. I am asking that it be considered, to license Masters level QMHP's who have been in the field for more than 5 years or so with the work experience.
