Professional Advice & Support Services (PASS)

At IAAMHP, we understand that mental health practice involves navigating ethical responsibilities, legal obligations, and professional pressures. Our Professional Advice & Support Services (PASS) are designed to support members through these challenges — confidentially and respectfully.

Whether you're dealing with a regulatory notification, have questions about Medicare, are facing an ethical dilemma, or simply need clarity on your professional obligations, PASS is here to support you.

What’s Included

Financial members may access up to two hours of support per year. This may include guidance on professional conduct, practice management issues, ethical matters, or legal questions. You can self-refer at any time.

What to Expect

  • ✅ A timely response (usually within 2–3 business days)
  • ✅ A confidential conversation focused on your needs
  • ✅ Guidance from professionals familiar with mental health practice
  • ✅ Clarification of ethical or regulatory concerns
  • ✅ Referrals to external services or professionals where appropriate

PASS is a support and guidance service. It is not a legal service or therapy.

If You Need More Than 2 Hours

If your needs go beyond the included two hours, further sessions may be available. These may include additional support, career guidance, or professional coaching. Members can access these sessions at a discounted rate of $50 per hour.
