We’re pleased to share that Arkansas is now part of Phase 2 of the Access MFTs initiative! With the momentum from Phase 1 victories in states like Georgia, Iowa, Tennessee, Maryland, and Virginia, Arkansas is the next step in our ongoing effort to streamline licensure portability for marriage and family therapists nationwide.
AAMFT will be working closely with stakeholders in Arkansas to adapt our model portability laws to fit the unique needs of the state. By doing so, we aim to create a more seamless process for MFTs, allowing them to practice in multiple states and better serve their communities. Expanding licensure flexibility will not only help MFTs professionally but also meet the growing need for mental health services throughout the state.
We’re excited to partner with Arkansas and help remove barriers for MFTs while improving care access. Keep an eye out for more updates as we move forward!
