Portability
 

I believe portability is one of the first step recognizing the importance of mental heath professionals within the community. We represent a key factor in changing stigma and keeping our community healthy. However, such role is not respected or taken into consideration when the professional is moving to other state. Our profession has evolve but the behavioral board needs to evolve also. I fully support he portability. It is a great step and it will be an example to the other states e board.
