The bottom line is QMHPs cannot provide Counseling, nor can they provide Therapy and should not be placed in the same supervision "bucket" as Residents in Counseling.  In addition, Criminal Justice degrees are not simply "law enforcement" degrees as some have insinuated.  Criminal Justice Curiculuum includes law, system management, detterence as well as rehabilitative programming, and offender interaction skills needed to facilitate changing behaivor.
