Our purpose

We help people help people.

Behavioral health is the only field where becoming licensed takes a decade and the work is harder every year. Our job is to make that path easier — at every step, for every person, in every credential.

Our story

Born from a single exam-prep course in 1976.

The Association for Advanced Training in the Behavioral Sciences — AATBS — opened its doors with one mission: help psychologists pass the EPPP. Four decades later, that same authoring discipline became the engine for an entire family of clinical-education brands.

Today, Triad is the parent of twelve brands serving every credential in behavioral and mental health: psychologists, social workers, marriage & family therapists, counselors, behavior analysts (BCBAs and RBTs), addiction counselors, and nurses with mental-health specializations.

We help universities forecast student readiness. We help employers recruit, train, and retain clinicians. We help individual practitioners stay licensed and grow their specialties. And we host the largest behavioral-health-only professional resource in the U.S.

Triad team supporting behavioral health professionals
What we do

Three things, repeated across decades.

The structure of our work has been the same since 1976. The scale and reach have multiplied; the discipline hasn't.

Education

Get them licensed.

Triad provides the best exam prep in behavioral and mental health, authored by clinicians who've taken the exams themselves. Across four specialized brands — AATBS, Academic Review, Gerry Grossman Seminars, and Taylor Study Method — we cover every major credential so your students have exactly what they need to pass and get to work.

Community

Keep them connected.

The Triad Community is the professional resource built for behavioral and mental health — niche-specific, free for members, and the place clinicians actually go for jobs, peer connection, and continuing education.

Career resources

Grow their practice.

We meet clinicians at every stage of their career. They can earn continuing education to stay licensed, pursue specialty certifications — like EMDR and hypnotherapy — to expand into new modalities, and tap into our Jobs Marketplace when they're ready to make a move.

50 years, in milestones

How we got here.

From a single Bay Area exam-prep classroom to a community spanning every clinical credential in the U.S.
