I Oppose CACREP only
 

I oppose the proposed regulations to require all counseling programs leading to a license as a professional counselor to be accredited by CACREP or an approved affiliate.  There are many paths to becoming a skilled counselor.  CACREP-accredited programs are just one path.  All paths that result in skilled counselors should be open.
