I am opposed to the narrow and restrictive nature of the proposed regulation which would eliminate any core faculty member not trained in a CACREP accrediated program from teaching in Counseling and Development Programs. I agree with having good standards for licensure. However, the proposed mandate eliminates the option of hiring faculty with diverse behavioral health backgrounds, thereby, limiting counseling programs from offering strong  integrated behavioral health care courses of study. Healthcare reform is challenging behavioral health providers to work together to maximize clinical outcomes. If Departments retain the ability to hire faculty not from CACREP programs, they can continue to offer strong courses of study preparing counselors trained and exposed to working with different professionals on integrated treatment teams.
