Protection Throughout Your Entire Career!

The Trust has you covered - in training and in practice.

Student Liability Insurance
Psychologists-in-training risk potential legal, governmental, or regulatory actions every time they provide services. Being insured through someone else’s policy doesn’t guarantee you'll get the protection you need if the unthinkable were to happen. It pays to have your own coverage, and The Trust makes it affordable! Go here for details.

$1,000,000 each incident
