Bringing More Therapists to the Valley Act of 2024
This bill expands eligibility for marriage and family therapists in the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program. It allows therapists to complete a state-accredited postgraduate clinical training program instead of one accredited by the national Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education. The change directly affects therapists seeking loan repayment assistance by providing a more flexible pathway to qualify. This policy modification aims to increase participation in the program by reducing accreditation barriers for therapists in specific states.
