Important: BSFT^® is a trademarked model. In order for an organization to promote themselves as a “BSFT^® Provider” and publicly advertise that they provide the BSFT^® treatment model, that organization must receive the BSFT^® license and train at least 2 Clinicians to full competency, passing the Competency Panel.
