The current proposal suggests that there is a need to emphasize the difference between licensed counselors who graduated from programs accredited by CACREP,  and those who have not. The focus of the mental health counseling profession would then become skewed and further divide the profession. As mental health counselors, there is a great need for the services provided. There is no evidence to support that CACREP accredited programs provide better professionals to the field. This proposal would be harming the population we swore to protect, and do no harm.
