The South Carolina Mandatory 7-Hour Bundle

Course overview

This specialized continuing education package provides the exact mandatory training required for all independent behavioral health practitioners in the state. Every two years the South Carolina Board of Examiners requires clinicians to complete specific coursework to maintain active credentials. State law dictates that professionals must complete six hours of training dedicated to ethical standards and one hour focused on suicide assessment and treatment (South Carolina Legislature, 2025). This universal bundle satisfies these exact requirements for Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Addiction Counselors, and Licensed Psycho-Educational Specialists. In this bundle, counselors explore the latest updates to state regulations and national ethical codes to maintain safe clinical boundaries (ACA, 2014). The training also equips practitioners with evidence-based protocols to assess and manage suicide risk effectively (Brown et al., 2024). This will involve reviewing real-world case studies to apply legal mandates and crisis intervention strategies directly to daily clinical practice. Completing this comprehensive bundle ensures full compliance with state board renewal requirements while protecting vulnerable client populations.
