@daniadamsPhD It's a bit dated now, but Sean O'Connor's masters thesis at Sac State is relevant. I've just requested some additional current data from the California BBS, may or may not get it, feel free to DM

💡🦄 A few things that make us different 🦄💡
- I fight for you. No other exam prep or CE providers were in the room at Friday’s BBS committee mtgs.
- Lowest exam prep prices among major competitors.
- Fantastic support. Including recently expanded hours.

New lawsuit seeks class action status against ASWB over its racially biased exams #StopASWB

[High Pass Education (Ben Caldwell) @HighPassEdu]

@TheAAMFT has chosen not to pursue an interstate #compact for #MFTs. But their reasoning is deeply flawed: California and New York MFTs would still benefit, even if their states don't participate. https://t.co/Nrc59HbljH

Add this to the growing stack of evidence that clinical exams for mental health licensure are trash: https://t.co/Z326JAEydO #therapists #socialworkers #StopASWB

@yalexos @TriBeCaTherapy @bitesizetherapy @JonathanShedler @AAJDeVille1 @arodriguezpsyd @NYUSilver Balancing both would mean making sure licensing requirements are evidence-based (so, goodbye, clinical exams) and flexing those requirements when greater availability of care is needed -- as is the case right now. #StopASWB

[High Pass Education (Ben Caldwell) @HighPassEdu]

@yalexos @TriBeCaTherapy @bitesizetherapy @JonathanShedler @AAJDeVille1 @arodriguezpsyd @NYUSilver Ideally, licensing boards would understand their public-protection mission as encompassing a balance between applying high standards for licensure and ensuring adequate public access to mental health care. Too many boards focus only on the first part.

✅ Angela recently passed her California #LCSW Law & Ethics #Exam. She says: “I felt very prepared to attack the exam. Ben Caldwell's program was VERY detailed and left little up to interpretation.” Congrats, Angela! The program she used can help you, too. https://t.co/Yna3V2xYFS

🎙️Today is the final new episode of the Think Like the Test™ #podcast before we take a summer break. In Ep 7, Carrie walks through a sample question where the actual #ethics code isn’t quite as absolute as the “correct” answer would have you believe. https://t.co/fEsFXGpbFP

🧑‍💻 California’s new #Telehealth #CE requirement for BBS #therapists kicks in July 1. It applies to both associates AND current licensees. This is a *one-time* requirement. I’ve got an on-demand 3-hour course built to the requirement here: https://t.co/GDw4irJWHA

🎊 Illinois successfully passes HB2365, creating an alternative pathway to clinical licensure for #socialworkers.
Well done @MentalWoke @Citizens4Karina @LaPointefor19 @NASWIL and everyone else who has been involved! #StopASWB

🎙️ Think Like the Test #podcast 5: Safety first 🎙️
Learn clues that help #therapists prioritize answers to crisis questions. And: Clinical #exams are meant to determine who is safe for independent practice. But there's no evidence they actually do that.

Karen (pictured) passed her CA #LPCC Law & Ethics Exam with us. "The test anxiety portion really helped solidify I knew my sh*t and that nerves were normal. This content was easy to take in and manageable to study." You can pass, too: https://t.co/nZS2ZnCNyX #examprep #testprep
