Opposed
 
I oppose this legislation as there is no compelling evidence that counselors who graduate from CACREP programs are more qualified than those graduating from non-CACREP programs. Please consider the ACA Portability Plan, which is a significantly better, more inclusive, and a less fracturing option than this proposal. With the tremendous need for qualified mental health providers the exclusionary nature of this portability proposal is detrimental to the well being of future clients.
