Oppose
 

As a current master’s student in the school of counseling, I believe that this proposal should be rejected. While I am currently getting my degree in school counseling, I will be getting my LPC in a few years. With that, LPC requirements and social work requirements are two very different areas and do not have the same standards or trainings. The two areas do not allow for adequate work or understanding that social workers and LPC trainees cannot measure up. The LPC training and requirements are much more rigorous and needs a supervisor who can properly understand and meet those needs and demands that current and future LPCs need.
