No to CACREP only
 

I strongly oppose a CACREP-only licensure regulation which puts many Americans at risk for access to quality mental health service.  CACREP is not the only accreditation body for counselor training programs.  Limiting to CACREP programs will restrict the supply of quality mental health counselors and consequenting leave many Americans to deal with mental health problems on their own.
