Please allow audio telephonic services to be allowed to count toward licensure hours. When the pandemic hit we didn't stop "counseling" just because we had to use precautions to keep our communities and selves safer! We kept going, assisting our clients, and had to adapt to keep them stable through this pandemic without accidental exposure. Please don't make all the work and struggles we had to endure because of this pandemic mean nothing. We kept fighting because we were "essential", but doesn't that mean our work is important regardless if it's on the phone, in an office, out in the community, or somewhere else? Please allow these hours to count, they matter to us just as they mattered to our clients who received them when they were in need and couldn't/were too scared to leave home. Thank you.
