NO to CACREP exclusivity proposal
 

If this proposal were to pass, it effectively shuts out many mental health providers from practicing in their field. As a right to work state, wouldn't that be against Virginia's law? If this were to happen, then the state needs to license other mental health professionals so they will be able to practice their profession and provide services to the people of Virginia.  Licensure of other professions needs to happen before they potentially get shut out by this rigid and unnecessary proposal.
