Marin CAMFT Special Event: "Navigating the Road to Licensure" presented by state CAMFT

This event is offered by the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (California state CAMFT), with registration available through our Marin CAMFT chapter. This event is free to all pre-licensed trainees and associates whether Marin CAMFT members or not, and to Marin CAMFT members who can receive 2 free CEUs, though advance registration is required.

IMPORTANT: Accessing the Zoom session is a little different than how our chapter normally provides it, as a quick advance Zoom registration step will be required. Please plan to join this session 5 minutes early so you can complete this step, which is necessary before you can enter the meeting.

Workshop Description:

This presentation is intended to provide an overview of the licensing process for pre-licensees as they work toward licensure in marriage and family therapy. Topics to be discussed include: the marriage and family therapy licensing process; supervised experience requirements for applicants; supervisor qualifications and supervision requirements; licensing examinations; and common employment issues pre-licensees encounter with their supervisors.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1. Record the number of hours and the number of weeks of supervised experience required
   
2. Identify the “options” for counting hours currently available to pre-licensees
3. Differentiate how to advertise themselves in the various stages of licensing
4.  Organize their hours by documenting on the correct BBS related forms
5.  Review their incremental progress toward licensure and decide on their best strategies to take to complete their 3000 hours
