    NEW BBS ADVERTISING REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE APRIL 1ST

    The Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) has updated its advertising regulations, effective April 1, 2026. The regulations apply to licensees, registrants, and trainees. Among the key changes in its regulations, the term “full name” is now clarified to mean the individual’s first name and last name as filed with the Board. Licensees and registrants may also use a nickname or former legal name when advertising their services. 

    For more information on these changes, including examples of acceptable and unacceptable advertising content, refer to the BBS’s “Licensee and Registrant Advertising Requirements” factsheet and FAQs.
