1. In favor of a regulation change to allow QMHP-trainees to be supervised by QMHPs with at least two years of experience who have been specifically trained to provide supervision.  As a licensed clinician who currently supervises QMHP-trainees, I believe this supervision could be equally effective when completed by experienced QMHPs with relevant job experience and training.

IMPORTANT:  If some supervision must be done by LMHP, please include the language LMHP or LMHP-E.  Regulations currently allow for a master’s level clinician under supervision toward clinical licensure (LMHP-E) can provide supervision.  We do not want to remove this ability and therefore make the requirements more strict.

2. In favor of allowing an undergraduate degree in criminal justice to be added to the Board of Counseling’s guidance document titled 115-8 - Approved Degrees in Human Services and Related Fields for QMHP Registration and to reinstate sociology as an approved degree.
