Do not give Social Workers the power to supervise counselors
 

As a seasoned counselor educator for four decades and a member of Chi Sigma Iota, I do not agree that Social Workers should supervise counselors. LPC needs to supervise counselors. LPC cannot cross the line to supervise social workers so you need to reconsider this and leave counselors to supervise counselors. We have the training expertise and experience to do just this. Do not cross the professional line. Social Workers are not professional counselors  Reconsider this and please back off on this 

Thank you
