Opposition to CACREP only
 

I am strongly opposed to this CACREP only initiative. At a time when mental health professionals are so deeply needed, a regulation like this would only decrease the services and supports to the people of Virginia! This initiative would narrow standards for mental health practice, but it certainly would not improve or provide for higher standards. Shame on those who seek this educational monopoly. This will only harm the people of Virginia who need quality supports!
