Strongly Oppose!
 

I strong oppose the suggestion in making license portability into the state of Virginia more stringent. I believe this proposal is not only counter productive, as it will cause more unnecessary friction within an already underserved field, but it will also deter interest in professionals becoming more involved in the mental health counseling industry. Also, in a rapidly evolving educational sector, where online programs are becoming more effective and efficient, CACREP should not be the only satisfactory accreditation. This should NOT be passed!
