Thanks to contributions to the USPBSPA, we are pleased to offer an application for financial assistance towards training and certification as a PBSP therapist, supervisor and trainer.  

The requirements for application are: 

1. applicants must be certified as a therapist in their discipline (e.g., social work, psychiatry, psychology), or,

2. In an approved educational program to attain such certification in their discipline (e.g., in a graduate program in psychology). 

If you want to be an exception to this requirement, contact Jim Amundsen, President, at jamundsen70@gmail.com, who will then take your request to the Training and Education committee for consideration.

Partial assistance is also available to defray expenses to apply for certification (application fees and costs to make transcripts of video).

Trainees who are on a track to become certified can also apply for financial assistance to defray costs for supervision.
