Effective January 01, 2001 the state of Florida is no longer using the 200 question multiple choice NBCC National Counselors' Examination for the licensure of Mental Health Counselors. The State is now using the NBCC National Mental Health Counselors' Examination which is a case study examination which requires answering four sections related to the intake, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning of 10 clinical case studies.
This workshop prepares the intern to understand the clinical strategy, appropriate assessments, and current treatment plans for the basic classes of DSM-IV disorders.
A special handout will be provided to help the interns to prepare for this examination, however it is strongly suggested that you also order the NBCC Mental Health Counselor's Examination Study Guide from NBCC prior to this workshop and bring it with you. The study guide currently costs $34.95 and can be ordered at nbcc.org or:
