This Behavioral Health and Wellness Practitioner Code of Professional Conduct (“Code”) constitutes the standards against which the professional conduct of behavioral health and wellness practitioners is measured, and applies to all licensees and applicants of the Board (collectively, “practitioners”).
This Code applies to the professional activities of practitioners across all settings, including but not limited to schools, community-based organizations, health care settings, and other environments in which behavioral health promotion, prevention, and brief intervention services are delivered. This Code also applies to all professional activities, including but not limited to in person, telehealth, and other modalities of service delivery.
Violation of the provisions of this Code will be considered unprofessional conduct and is sufficient reason for disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, revocation or denial of licensure. Lack of awareness or misunderstanding of any provision of this Code is not itself a defense.
