Oppose CACREP only requirement
 

Requiring a student to graduate from a CACREP-accredited program would not increase the quality of counselor training as other programs already ensure competence by requiring the NCMHCE. I believe it would decrease the number of available mental health counselors which would be a disservice to the people of Virginia.  I oppose this regulation.
