Strongly oppose
 

I strongly oppose this action. There is no documented evidence that licensed counselors who graduated from programs accredited by CACREP are better prepared than their peers who graduated from other programs. There needs to be licensure portability, which the Counseling Compact addresses inclusively (https://counselingcompact.org/).
