I strongly oppose the above petition as it puts even more restrictions on residents in counseling.  I believe the as long as an individual who is practicing under the title of a resident in counseling abides by the regulations set in place by the Board of Counseling, there should be no further limitations restricting the possibility of work.  As a current resident in counseling I can attest to the level of difficulty in finding a secure worksite who is comfortable hiring a resident in counseling, so with this petition it can make this journey even harder for us to gain the hands on experience which is the main purpose of the residency period.  From reading the petition it appears that the concern is marketing not regulations.
