Over the past few years, stakeholders have shared valuable insights about the challenges of navigating ATCB systems—from confusing communications to issues with application processes, CE tracking, and supervision documentation.
In response, ATCB engaged in a comprehensive organizational assessment last year, with support from an external consultancy specializing in strategy and user experience for nonprofits. The insight provided—through surveys, conversations, and direct feedback—played a pivotal role in helping us identify areas that need improvement.
We’re now taking meaningful steps to enhance our systems, including the ATCB credentialing management system, MyATCB. We’re implementing changes that will streamline tracking continuing education, documenting supervision, renewing credentials, managing board certification, and more. Our goal is to ensure that the system works efficiently and can evolve to meet the growing practice of art therapy—supporting, not hindering, art therapists’ professional journey.
While no system is without its challenges, we’re committed to rolling out improvements thoughtfully and transparently. An updated MyATCB is on the horizon, with an anticipated launch in early 2026.
Leading up to that launch, we’ll provide regular updates, helpful tutorials, and opportunities to become familiar with what’s coming—well in advance of the next credential year starting on July 1, 2026.
Throughout this transition, the security and confidentiality of all stakeholder information will remain a top priority.
