The Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists has put into place an expedited process for approving Temporary Licenses for those coming to Louisiana to help flood victims.
In a message on their webpage the board wrote, “In an emergency or disaster the number of currently licensed Louisiana Psychologists may be insufficient or unavailable to provide all needed services to the population of the state. Therefore, the LSBEP has an Emergency Temporary Registration that is expedited for licensed psychologist of other states wishing to volunteer services through the RED CROSS, LA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, or other legitimate relief effort. If you are coming to this state to provide psychological services to the flood victims of 2016, you are required to register with this Board using the following form: Emergency Temporary Registration 2016.”
Governor Edwards declared a State of Emergency for all of Louisiana on August 12.
