Speak Up
Testimonials and Public Comment

Most board and council meetings provide for public comment. On occasion, we are able to secure an agenda item addressing the family court crisis. For public comment, the standard is three minutes per person, no mention of specific cases or professionals allowed, and there is no feedback. There can be questions asked during an agenda item. We will list the schedules here for those who would like to join us. Please note, we will post information about the CA committees and meetings here. If you live in another state, we recommend you find your equivalent committees and take action in your state. Also, if you are unable to attend, please check to see if they accept written comments. Usually this is due a few days before the meeting.


Board of Psychology
The California Board of Psychology is responsible for licensing and overseeing any disciplinary actions of misconduct for psychologists who practice in CA. While their stated values are transparency, integrity, consumer protection, inclusiveness, excellence and accountability, we have identified and reported to the board their inadequacy to uphold it's own values.

Public Comment 
Please plan to attend the board meeting to help build awareness to this overall problem and to increase accountability. Your presence will show the board these problems need immediate attention. Please note, details of case may not be mentioned, including individual psychologists’ names.

Board of Behavioral Sciences
The Board of Behavioral Sciences is responsible for licensing, examination, and enforcement of standards for LMFT’s, LCSW’s, LEP’s, and LPCC’s who practice in CA. While their mission is to protect and serve Californians by setting, communicating, and enforcing standards for safe and competent mental health professionals, we have found the board has not met it's own requirements.
