Regulations are not about whether a certain program is included or not, it should be about what is best for clients that come see professional counselors.

In one study, counselors who graduated from NON-CACREP accredited programs accounted for over 81% of ethical violations, despite being a minority of practicing counselors.

Virginia has very inclusive policies that allow anyone with two years of licensure experience in another state, to relocate to Virginia and get licensed by endorsement. Please support this regulatory change, and thank you for your consideration.
