Thur. Feb. 22nd - Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) Sacramento Mtg
This will be our first appearance at the BBS quarterly meeting. The BBS is responsible for disciplining all non-PhD mental health providers that work in family courts. All are welcome to join us for Public Comment & the Operations Report (which will cover their enforcement activity). Here is the meeting agenda, and here is a link to  the 2-day meeting webcast if you cannot join us in person. 
8:30a - 5:30p: We plan to attend the entire day’s proceeding, since public comment is the last item on the agenda for the day, and we do not know how long the meeting will last. No prior sign up is required to speak at this meeting.
