Pre-licensed Support & Events
Message from Pre-licensed Committee Chair, Josh Manney Hello Pre-licensed community! I am Josh Manney, your Director or Pre-licensing at SBCAMFT and I am excited to share with you some upcoming opportunities for the community. First up, we have an ongoing monthly Pre-Licensed Peer Support Group that meets over Zoom on a monthly basis. This is a great way to connect, ask questions, and hear from special guest speakers on all things Pre-licensed. Next, we have a very special Pre-licensed Panel event where we will feature experts in areas like; private practice as an associate, applying for licensure, becoming an associate, and more! Lastly, we are always looking for members to join our Pre-licensed Committee who will help with planning and hosting events, bringing new ideas to the SB CAMFT Board, and anything else that would be helpful for this community. You can email me at prelicensed@sbcamft.org with a quick blurb about why you want to join and your resume. Check out below and our SBCAMFT website to for more information and to register for these events! Hope to see you all out there, Josh Manney Josh Manney (he/his), MS, AMFT, APCC Pre-Licensed Director, SBCAMFT |

The 2023 BIPOC Pre-Licensed Scholarship will be awarded $1,000 to two recipients who will also receive a free year of membership to State CAMFT and SBCAMFT. The application period opens on August 1st, 2023 and the last day to apply is September 1st, 2023. Recipients will be selected at random to minimize selection bias and ensure fairness and equity.
