“Best law and rules training I have taken.” ~Margaret Haynes, Leon, FL
"The course was very informative and well written. When I had questions about the materials the authors were immediately responsive and encouraging. I am a seasoned therapist and have found the mandatory courses to be repetitive, but this course was relevant and updated with information that was applicable to my practice." ~Mary Griffiths, LMHC, Seminole, FL
“I believe the course was extremely informative with a tremendous amount of information. My favorite part was the way things were broken down so simplistic it was easy to learn and understand.” ~Nathalie Viau, RCSWI, FL
" I really enjoyed this. I think the board should make us take it each renewal as there have been so many changes recently especially with COVID." ~Amanda Frye, LCSW, Polk Co, FL

Laws and rules I have ever taken.”

“Exceptional course, well written with a blend of expertise, experience, and how and why some of the laws and rules have changed.
I was aware of some of the changes, but not all of them, and I was surprised by many of those changes. If I had not have taken this course, those important changes would have passed me by, and I would have been acting in ignorance.”
~ Sandra Marjon, PhD. Licensed Florida mental health counselor, Lee County, FL

“This was a very effective course and extremely TIMELY. Legal jargon is often difficult for lay people. This was presented with that in mind. As counselors, we MUST know these laws and the way with which this course is set up made this less tedious.”
