Join AMHCA on a trip to Scotland!
Each president of AMHCA has an opportunity to select a location and plan a trip during their commitment to the office (President-elect, president, past president). As the current past-president, I have decided to go to Scotland. On May 6th and 7th of 2020, we will be in Edinburgh, Scotland, which for me is a truly magical place. The goal is to have some interchange – learn how they prepare clinical mental health counselors and perhaps understand and compare some of the differences between the two countries. On the second day, May 7th, they have a student postgraduate research conference, where their masters and doctoral students present on their research projects and we have been invited to attend. This is not a conference but rather a travel opportunity and it will give us a chance to build relationships.

AMHCA Partners with Motivo for Online Clinical Supervision
Motivo, the first platform for online clinical supervision, is proud to announce its partnership with AMHCA. By partnering with Motivo—a HIPAA-compliant network for connecting therapists to clinical supervisors for live video supervision—AMHCA members seeking licensure can find a supervisor and receive a discount on their first three sessions of supervision. With the rise of telehealth, many states now allow clinical supervision hours to be obtained online through live video conferencing. That's why Rachel McCrickard, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, created Motivo to provide a more accessible option for supervision.
