Strongly Oppose
 

I strongly Oppose this legislation proposal.

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! 

In a time where there is a need for more not less qualified counselors to provide care to clients, this legislation would go against the needs of care for clients who desperately need it and I believe cause harm.
