No to CACREP
 

I opposed the monopoly of a CACREP-only training as it will prevent well competent counselors from non-CACREP program from attaing licensure and serving mental health afflicted clients. WHO and so many health organizations report a significantly low number of mental health professionals per human capita. Further restrictions may accentuate this number and ultimately impede on the mental health wellbeing of many individuals in Virgina and beyond.
