Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, I missed writing to you all for the last couple of weeks. The Easter holiday is a significant holiday for my family and me, and we took the time to celebrate. I hope that you had a wonderful time together with your friends and loved ones. April is a vibrant month featuring major environmental awareness and spring-themed celebrations, including Earth Month, Autism Acceptance Month, National Poetry Month, and Arab American Heritage Month. Key global dates include April Fool’s Day (April 1), Easter (April 5), World Health Day (April 7), and Earth Day (April 22). Did you know there is a National Pet Day & National Siblings Day (April 11), and Husband Appreciation Day (April 16)? National Pet Parents Day (April 26)! I wonder how many pet lovers know about this? Month-long observances include Stress Awareness Month, Alcohol Awareness Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Parkinson’s Awareness Month. That’s a ton of observations—I certainly have had no awareness of some of these! I feel out of the loop on some of these! Chapter updates for April:
Remaining Open Positions: ⏳ If you have not submitted your ballots for the 2026 Leadership Team of the Long Beach South Bay Chapter of CAMFT, please plan to submit by April 30, 2026. ️🎗️ Did you know that we have an app for our Members?

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. | Click the image below to view the latest issue of the CA BBS Newsletter |
