Strongly Oppose
 

I strongly oppose mandating that all therapists go to CACREP accredited programs. I am part of a MPCAC accredited program and believe that I am getting the same level of education and experience as a CACREP program. Mandating that all master's level clinicians are a part of CACREP programs limits the amount of therapists that are able to practice and help the community that currently needs more mental health workers, not less.
