Roger
Hales met with the Board to discuss licensee retention of client records.
Record retention is not specified in the Professional Counselor and
Marriage & Family Therapy Law or Rules. Confidentiality and juvenile issues
are also not addressed. These two
issues are Association matters and could be addressed by the Idaho Counselor
Association or American Counselors Association.
Dr. Fischer moved to have Chairman Jones draft a letter to the
Associations addressing this issue. Mr.
Shiosaki seconded and the motion carried.
Mr.
Hales addressed the issue of Clinical Counselors being able to diagnose.
The Code of Ethics state that counselors can diagnose if they have had
appropriate training or education. The Standards of Practice also use the word
“Diagnose.”
Discussion
was held on the new rule requiring one hour of ethics continuing education per
year. That rule will be effective when the legislature adjourns this year. The
Board requested that a temporary rule for the effective date of this one hour of
ethics be drafted for consideration during May meeting.
The
Board asked the Bureau to send a letter to all LPC’s. LCPC’s and LMFT’s
inviting them to register as Supervisors.
A
letter will be sent to the Associations and the Governor’s office regarding
the expiration of the Board’s educator position currently held by Dr. Craig.
FORMS
The
Board asked that the supervisor registry form be changed to allow an applicant
to specify registration as a Counselor Supervisor and/or a Marriage and Family
Therapy Supervisor.
The
Board also asked that checklist forms be drafted for Interns and Supervisor
Registry applications.
Discussion
was held on using the same class credits to meet two requirements on the
application. The Board noted that classes may be used in two areas, but the
credit total cannot exceed the number of credits earned for each class.
A taskforce from Northwest Nazarene University and Idaho State University
will be asked for feedback on this issue at the May meeting.
CONTINUING
