The board has actively engaged with students across several universities, including Wichita State, Washburn, Kansas University, and MidAmerican Nazarene University. Presentations aimed at social work and counseling psychology students have been well-received, with plans for additional outreach before the semester concludes. These initiatives are designed to help students gain a head start in their professional careers.
In addition to student outreach, the BSRB has been gathering valuable feedback from licensed professionals through comprehensive surveys. These surveys, which targeted six of the seven professions regulated by the board, were conducted to assess issues such as unprofessional conduct and supervision challenges in the field. The response was robust, with thousands of participants contributing insights.
The board is currently compiling the survey results into reports that will be presented to advisory committees in April. These reports will not only provide profession-specific data but also include a summary that compares findings across different fields. The BSRB aims to use this information to better understand workforce dynamics and improve regulatory practices.
Once finalized, the survey results will be made available on the BSRB website, ensuring that both students and professionals have access to the insights gathered. This proactive approach underscores the board's commitment to fostering a well-informed and responsible community of behavioral health professionals in Kansas.
