Supervision Requirements for grandparenting
It is unlawful for unlicensed or unregistered counselors to provide clinical services (psychotherapy) outside of an exempt setting. Exempt setting: An educational institution, governmental entity or an entity that is both nonprofit and charitable.
Non-clinical services may be provided in non-exempt settings, and will count toward supervision for grandparenting. Non-clinical services might include career counseling, educational counseling, etc. Non-exempt settings: Private practice (not one’s own), businesses or entities that are non-profit, but not charitable.
Note: This concept is discussed on our website under Questions About Supervision for Grandparenting, as well as in the August 2010 Licensure Update posted on the website.
