Comment Period | Ended on 7/14/2017 |
The state of Florida provides opportunity for licensure and certification for trained mental health, school counselor and marriage and family therapy practitioners. Graduates of these non CACREP programs proved much needed services throughout the state and the country. CACREP only penalizes small, Catholic university and students who cannot afford the time way from their jobs and families for extensive internship. We accomplish this through supervised community engaged scholarship and praxis in inner city schools, community mental health centers, elder care programs, etc. our graduates are sought after in the professional arena because they are highly skilled, multi ethnic and multi lingual. CACREP only would eliminate many qualified students and Alums.
