I STRONGLY oppose CACREP only state
 

I am currently in a Masters of Applied Psych program in MD. As someone who has put a lot of time, money and energy into my education, I can safely say that if you were to pass this bill, you would leave THOUSANDS of people in debt wth a useless degree. My program is astounding and it is not CACREP. I don't think passing this bill will help anyone. In fact, it will hurt all those people who see non CACREP graduates and therapist. My organizations gets dozens of referrals a week and if you passed this bill, there'd be so few people to help them. There is no evidence that CACREP is better but I know my work is good because of my program. Please don't do this. Thank you.
