This proposal places significant limitations on access to (and continuity of) care for individuals seeking mental health services. We are in the midst of a mental health crisis where providers are at max capacity and clients are needing to wait months in order to connect with necessary services. By placing limitations on licensure based off of arbitrary statements that CACREP status deems an individual more qualified to provide services, you are placing undue stress on an already maxed out system. I strongly oppose the proposed regulations for licensure by endorsement.
