The
Counselor and Social Worker Board was created by legislation in
1984. The Board's primary responsibility is to protect the citizens
of the State of Ohio through the licensure of Counselors and Social
Workers. The Board does this through the establishment of licensure
and practice standards for the professional practice of counseling
and social work.
In
April 2004 Marriage and Family Therapists were added as a licensee
group and the Board's name changed to the Counselor, Social Worker
& Marriage and Family Therapist Board.
The
Board consists of fifteen members appointed by the Governor. Four
members must be licensed professional counselors; four members must
be licensed social workers or independent social workers; four members
must be independent marriage and family therapists or marriage and
family therapists; and three members are representatives of the
public. The three professions each have a professional standards
committee made up of four professionals and a public member.
The Board and committees meet six times a year to review license
applications and conduct other Board business. Usually meetings
are held on the third Thursday and Friday of January, March, May,
July, September and November.
The Board is supported by thirteen staff members. The office hours
of the Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist
Board are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
