Opposed
 

Please oppose CACREP and ACA efforts to exclude other highly qualified licensed mental health professionals such as psychologists from providing supervision to students and licensure candidates. With the growth of holistic and multidisciplinary clinics, the proposed restriction unfairly penalizes students and prospective licensees working in these settings or who seek excellent training in these settings. Since these settings are predominantly responsible for mental health service provision in our state, this unfair exclusion will ultimately negatively impact the ability to meet the mental health needs of your constituents as well.
