Hi, everyone.

The Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling (a.k.a. "491 Board") posted the minutes and audio recording for their meeting that took place on 8/21/25.  That information can be access from the board website at https://floridasmentalhealthprofessions.gov/meeting-information/ by clicking on the blue button labeled "Show Past Events" and then clicking "View Meeting Materials" next to the 8/21/25 meeting.

Alternatively, I've used ChatGPT 5 to create notes that can serve as a helpful summary.  Those notes can be accessed using this link: https://nortonconsulting.box.com/s/wcvudmnm8kbm3dlrgodgan33lg5gug24 but has also been attached to this post.  Please note that although I elected to black out the names of the practitioners who were disciplined in my notes (because I think the info on violations and sanctions is more important for our members than the identities of the individuals involved), they are a matter of public record and can be accessed using the board's materials at the first link if you are so inclined. 

Reviewing this information can help counselors, counselor educators, supervisors, interns, and students to avoid pitfalls, as well as to stay abreast with some of the issues involving our profession that were discussed during public comment.
