Comment Period | Ended on 7/14/2017 |
CACREP's attempt to force out graduates from non-CACREP programs is at once self-serving, amoral (insofar as it results in fewer licensed practitioners to provide critically important mental health services), and unviable for meeting the needs of the citizens of Virginia. CACREP prohibits accreditation of programs that provide quality psychological training to Master's-level clinicians. Their tactics only exacerbate the problem of failing those people most in need receive adequate services.
